Now that I look at it your way, its does make some sense. However, in getting to be the 3rd most powerful, you're assuming that I do not join Teal/Granagh or Collective/Manticore against the others. For if I do join one of the big 2 alliances, I will likely be wiped out early on, and thus will only make it to 5th spot!
Also, Last turn when I looked at my score, it showed me as being in 8th position. If you count me above the Aether Lords, and (presumably) above yourself, that only puts me into 6th. Although there may be some other empires around that I'm not aware of, and are higher than me in score, but less powerful.
But we are digressing, this was not to be the original subject of this thread. My apologies Arakiel for hijacking it. Feel free to return it to its orginal purpose.
