well, since XP increases exponentially, there is no way we will catch #1 #2... Unless they stop playing.

Edit, however SP increases linearly... perhaps its all about SP after all... still there is a huge deficit between those very top teams and us.

actually what we need are some fellow atot that will accept challenges so that we can pad our XP through player-to-player challenges.

you are so right! you only lose exp, not sp that way :)

right, jump ahead on SP through interchallenges and then you can attack teams above, drag down their XP

Spoon, I can't believe how fast you're gaining xp. Does leeching xp off ghoulish give you that much xp or have you received some kind of xp bonus again?

At the end of the hour, I'll post how much xp I get from him. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I think it's around 13k.

I think the team with the best shot of dethroning the reigning champs is ATOT Fight Club. If we stay below the cutoff for bonus SP and put all of them into AP, we could possibly kill them with one blow. It just depends on if they keep receiving bonus SP for controlling the town.

You can only challenge the same person like once an hour or whatever.

It's probably not easy to stay below the cutoff now. You only lose ~18k points max from challenges and injuries. That amount will easily be made up with the xp bonus while you sleep.

Hrm.... yeah thats why I put all my points into attack. I have like 3.3mil attack :) If everyone on the team had done that we would be at like ~20mil attack, and be able to waste the number ones :) I say we build as much as we can by friday, and attempt an attack on the head team on friday.


Remember, ATTACK > all for team challenges. I was on my own team for a little while... Just me, no one else. With 3 million attack I was able to waste a lot of other teams and get a lot of SP bonus, even though the team was consisted of 6 guys not much lower than me

You know, if we took turns challenging each other within teams, we would be able to maintain the overall team xp, but gain free individual sp. I haven't really been paying attention to it, but I think you lose the same amount of xp that your opponent gains. It shouldn't hurt our team rank. The only thing it might hurt is my individual ranking.

No... not even that... think about it.


You have 5 teammates, you challenge all 5 and lose on purpose
Your 5 teammates challenge you, and lose on purpose
net gain exp = 0
net gain SP = 8k probably
