About the time I left the server I had a feeling Server 5 was going to pull out ahead. I didn't miss that they all banded together quietly without drawing attention to themselves and started picking off peripheral alliances from server 6 (and possibly 4?).

Though I haven't logged into SS38 since about a week after the merge so I have no idea what the server looks like now, as far as alliances still intact or in power, or how many prominent alliances each old server still maintains in SS38.
