Top Ten Armies: 02/22/15

In an extraordinary top ten, several armies take huge strides up the top ten and one top three army tumbles to the bottom of the top ten – while one misses out all together due to technicalities. This week also sees a large improvement in top ten scores with five points separating 5th to 10th.

NOTE: The Ice Warriors have been banned for one week from the top ten for faking pictures from a different event as part of their raid of the DCP and WV. Furthermore, they have been caught for multilogging and dishonestly mislabeled four of their events. This was following a stark warning from CPA Central last week and as a result they have been banned for a week and further action will be taken if similar things occur next week. This action has been taken to ensure that our top tens are of a fair nature and to stop armies cheating and trying to unfairly get an advantage over their opposition.

Additional Note: Due to UK troops being off this week, we treated the UK Division events as if it were the weekend. Since UK troops were able to consistently attend Ausia events because most Ausia events overlapped with the adjusted UK time zones, these events were counted toward the UK category. These points were still received, just counted toward a different division.

1. Light Troops [+5] [77.56]

2. Water Vikings [+1] [73.02]

3. Doritos [+1] [71.08]

4. Army of CP [+4] [61.54]

5. Redemption Force [+5] [58.97]

6. Golds [-1] [58.20]

7. Silver Surfers [NEW!] [55.19]

8. Rebel Penguin Federation [-1] [55.07]

9. Chaos [NEW!] [54.87]

10. Dark Warriors [-8] [53.00]

In the poll this week we asked you if the ACP or Nachos would recover, and who would recover more quickly. The 42% majority of you said the ACP would make the biggest improvement and they did move up four places to 4th. However, the Nachos moved up seven places on the SMAP top ten – but failed to get into the CPAC top ten. 32% of you were wrong in saying both would make no recovery.

New poll released every Sunday!
