Short PP Report: 

Cycle 92:

  • Perfunctory statement - We use the Kruger Five rankings for powerplay for two reasons

    • It realistically accounts for the weighted efforts to stronghold or fortify systems relative to acquiring systems, while the ‘official numbers’ don’t tell the whole story

    • We (are free of conflicts of interest and) fought a revolution 250 years ago so we don’t have to feel beholden to the FDev Party Line with their one size fits all ranking system

    • Third, K5 is one of us

      • Something something K5

      • Something something American Ranking System

      • Something something man on the moon

  • Antal wins the week with 4 new systems and 2 strongholds

  • Archon Delaine in second with 5 new bones and a crown

  • Kaine continues to be busy in 3rd with 6 new systems and 2 new forts

  • Our frat bro, LYR in 4th with 3 new forts

  • Winters rounds out the top 5 with 5 new systems and a fort. 

  • Archer in last this week, continuing the decline and fall that started in week 77, finishing last losing 4 systems and 3 strongholds gaining 3 forts. 

  • [K5 extra points, if you’d like a few more talking points]:

    •  All 4 of the imperial powers are in the bottom half of the pack with limited progress. 

    • Really a subdued week overall for all power. Colonia CG and operations looks like it took the attention of many commanders
