This week the sassy pants came back out as Kabal, fresh off a recruiting binge it seems rocketed up to number 6, displacing Tavernhold from F and into C (which pushed the Gauntlet out of C despite their hunker down bonus and into D). There was a lot of recruiting paying off this week aside from Kabal as the new Kreuz Bernstein moved up a few spots, Ozem's Vigil snaked around Aragon, and Blackwood Glade moved up but didn't cause any disruptions. The Bastard Sons of Daggermark got back on the list after a long absence thanks to so many mid tier merges.

Interesting that nobody bigger wanted G. I'd have thought being next to the paladins would be more attractive.
I've got a list of hexes I can't believe didn't get more attention. But I don't want people misinterpreting my intentions so i'll wait till its over to express my thoughts on them.

I was expecting Callambea to show a great deal of interest in those, rather than contesting their ally Freevale for the ones on the mountain.

I was closest! I guessed C or D. Didn't think they would end in F again after the earlier Tavernhold dispute. Maybe a Land Rush drinking contest will settle any claims either group has to the hex.
@Bunibuni, hope you're using wood from the Midlands to make that rocking chair. You did spend some time in Q. ;)

Am I the only one who would pay to see Kabal and Tavernhold in a tag team Beerfest competition for the spot?
It's on like Donkey Kong.
Incidentally, I've never understood that reference. On what? A scaffolding? Throwing barrels at plumbers?
Let's have a drinking competition for the hex on a scaffolding involving throwing barrels at plumbers, is what I'm saying.

Contesting? I see it as a handy little bit of insurance. We'll settle who of us two gets that tower later, but the one thing that's sure is it will be one of us. No way are we gonna let some foreigner stroll in and grab it from right between our territories. :D
EDIT: I can't speak for Callambea, obviously (hell, I only speak for Freevale because I managed to break out of the basement while Gpunk wasn't looking). We haven't made any guarantees either way. This is just a hunch. ;)

You could have spoken for us, I think this is one of those situations where we are on the same page. One of our settlements will have that tower. An outside entity owning it will be costly.

If you look where Kabal has been before, it's F D R AC Q Q F. Doesn't take a genius to figure out where they're heading:
It all points to R!

Hmmm...
look at the numbers,Last week:
15 Eastern Sun 28 42 HThis week:
14 Kreuz Bernstein 30 39.9 H1 place up, two votes up, hdb down by 2.1
I tought as long as you are not in the top 10, you are getting each week an addition to your actually hdb. Or i'm wrong with that?
You apparently lose previous HDB as you move up in the ranks. I know you lose it all if you move into 10th place.

I believe it was an error. I'm going to tag Lee on this.
I think the following bonus numbers are errors:
Kreuz Bernstein dropped for some reason
Agents of Erastil didn't increase as much as I'd expect.
vVv has no bonus, though I think they didn't move
Iron Gauntlet has no bonus, though I think they didn't move.
I'm assuming bonus doesn't apply if you don't pick your same hex, but not that it goes away.

VvV and Iron Gauntlet may not have received a bonus because they are not in their first choice.

EDIT:
Whoops, got my joining groups wrong, got Elkhaven joining Ozem's Vigil and Quadrivium joining Elkhaven mixed up. Correcting. In any case, Kreuz Bernstein should have a hunker down of .54Agents of Erastil should have gone up .04 more, and thus have a modified score of 14.392. Again good catch. Not sure what I did on that one, so again good catch.
vVv Gaming and Iron Gauntlets did not have the same position as last week as their first choice so no hunker down bonus. vVv Gaming had a hunker down bonus in week 5 of .16, but have been bumped out of that spot long ago. Both groups have been bumped around a lot and have never been in their first choice since the hunker down rules were clarified to only apply to first choices.
