Jfoytek's Weekly Power Rankings Week 3
This Week we saw the K.Johan choke on his meal, Bratyn successfully slowed the Byzantine Horde.
10) Last Week: Trin Tragula
This Week: Bratyn (Previously 4rth) Fell 6 Places
How can a country who is no longer left on the map place 10th this week? Because this is not a top 10 country ranking its a ranking of the top 10 players in the game. Bratyn's choices this week were a bit UN Orthodox, were they honorable? Maybe? Were they done for game balance? Or were they done for a Saltier reason? I think the intentions are grey and its easy to spin a tale of either an evil Bratyn who acted with great dishonor or a heroic Bratyn that sacrificed himself for the world?!? Whatever it was, it did act as a speed bump at the cost of his exit stage right.

1)Last Week: K Johan
This Week: K Johan (Previously 1rst) No Change
K Johan had an off week, thanks in no small way to Bratyn, using himself as poison to slow down the growth of the Fake Byzantines! While we definitely saw some interesting province selling, I can't help but wonder if K.Johan didn't end this session felling a little bit less dominate then he thought he was! I sensed weakness in the interview almost like his confidence has slipped a little bit and he is unsure, with talks of peace, and not quite the normal aura of superiority he typically has.
I'm quite honored to even be in the rankings this week, though I do have to correct you somewhat and point out that, technically, Kazan is still present on the map However, I find your closing remarks on KaiserJohan's reduced confidence to be the greatest praise I could receive. Though people are sure to interpret my actions in wildly different manners, and ascribe me all manner of motivations, I personally am satisfied that I was able to prevent things from going entirely according to KaiserJohan's plans, and that this caused, however small, a perceptible lapse in confidence on his part.
