Cycle-97-Charts-n-Stuff
All the information here is from the weekly updated (sometimes) sticky, which won't include merits from the final minutes to hours.
Known Merits
Aisling players dominated the merits again, with more merits in her preparations than Sirius did in total, and Sirius was 4th.
All of Aislings preparation merits and most of her fortification merits were waste, which moved her down to 2nd in effective merits.
Mahon slipped down to 3rd lowest amount of effective merits, but still maintained his top position.
Delaine lost his expansion by only 42 merits, which I'm sure is the closest expansion fight ever.
Unknown Merits
Winters had the most total opposition again, with Delaine and Hudson close behind. Mahon, Grom and ALD had a moderate amount of opposition, and the other 5 powers were barely touched.
On the effective chart, the merits needed to stop Hudsons expansion effort pushed him to first place, followed closely by Delaine.
Winters, Mahon and Grom had some effective undermining, and ALD had a large amount of effective opposition to her expansion attempt.
Sirius got 1 system undermined, and the other 4 factions had 0 systems undermined to their 100% trigger.
Other Groupings
The first chart above shows the total merits grouping the 4 imperials together, the 2 federals together, and the other 5 together.
The Empire still has more players than all the other Powers put together.
The second chart shows the lack of opposition the 4 Imperial factions get from the other 7 powers.
And the third chart groups the two Duval girls together, and they nearly have more players than the other 9 power put together.
There was a total of 4510341 merits in cycle 98, compared with 3773039 the previous cycle, a 20% increase.
