It looks like @PiggyStardust and @yebellz and @Maharani are staying loyal to the northern alliance and expanding out apace. I assume @le_4TC would be too, if he had not been dragged into severe fighting.
It seems plausible given these latest moves that @Haze_with_a_Z and @le_4TC may have an accord against @kingkaio. It will be interesting to see if this fighting puts @le_4TC in a better or worse position than @Maharani and the other members of the northern alliance.
Unsurprisingly, @Vsotvep’s insider information was correct and @bugcat and @martin3141 are playing out a less cramped mirror of the right side. I’m interested to see what the other players do about this, since a single winner in the lower theatre could be a significant threat to the rest of the players.
PS: I almost have all of the color-player pairs memorized. I only had to cheat for @bugcat and @martin3141.
