Round 4  - January 7, 2007 - January 21, 2007

Congratulations!

Round 4 Winner is LagWagon!!

Congrats to the family LagWagon for claiming first in Round 5! Lady_Killer, who had not made an appearance this round until a few days before the end, stepped in with the assistance of family member Katie to build up hard and fast. In the final 24 hours, Lady_Killer put LagWagon strongly in his sights, knocking down the second place player Goku in the process. After a good long fight, Lady_Killer forces LagWagon to lose a lot of net and fully takes over First Place. However, LagWagon then came in from behind and brought Lady_Killer back down into second place and maintains a strong first place position.

LagWagon wins a Dell Inspiron D600 for first place! Congratulations!

Round 4 News:

Right from the start, Sasaphrase took an early lead, but was not able to maintain it. War soon broke out for the top stats between Goku, Puckerdstarfish, LagWagon. Puckerdstarfish and LagWagon both maintained high positions in stats despite the rapid fluctuation. Mirroring the war on the stats came a high ranking battle between LagWagon and puckerdstarfish that lasted for several hours of straight battle. Top nets reached up to 50 trillion.  Assman_pa creates the first Katz family on TheMobWorld.com - a known mob game crew. Many new players started to make their mark as hitters such as skitzo, thebodyguard, Bones, BlackLiteTripper, and ComaTosted.

Towards the end of week 1, the top of the stats are puckerdstarfish, Borat, and Borat in that order. A battle broke out between Apples and Goku, leaving Apples with just over 3 trillion networth and Goku in first place with 43 trillion networth. Apples made one last struggle but ended up dropping back down to 1 trillion and pushing Goku up to 53 trillion. Puckerdstarfish then steps in and drops Goku and LagWagon in the early AM, and takes the lead at  52 trillion in the first place position.

A lot of shit-talking goes on between Oranges and the Shortbus Families, particularly with elToroBlanco and Jesse James, who rants quite vehemently against Oranges (aka Apples aka DefyMe) in public forum.

At the end of the first week, Goku took the lead and beat out puckerdstarfish for first ending the day at 116 trillion. This was really something to see, since Goku started the battle just a little below puckerdstarfish but still managed to come up and take the lead. Several accounts were also found to be violating the rules against soft hitting: Cripppler, shit, Tuxx and Tricks. These accounts were all suicided by the administration for violation of the game rules.

Towards the beginning of week 2, LagWagon makes a bid for first place and takes it quickly. He manages to get a good lead on second place and stays there. Goku maintains second place with puckerdstarfish bringing up third place position.

Cain reminds all of the players, from his training course in Dallas, Texas, of the YouTube "Senseless Advertising" videos. Check them out:

The round went pretty quietly during the second week up until three days before the end when Katie and Lady_Killer made accounts and their family, Movie_Stars, quickly pushing their ways up into the top ranks.

In the last 24 hours, Lady_Killer hits Goku and then battles it out with LagWagon over a period of several hours. Lady_Killer holds the lead for for several hours, but then LagWagon jumps up and takes the lead again, knocking Lady_Killer back down.

In the end, LagWagon takes first, Lady_Killer takes second, Goku takes third and puckerdstarfish takes fourth..

And that was just this round...

Honorable Mentions

Assman_Pa

- for introducing the Katz family to TheMobWorld.com in their first round of playing. They are an established family on other sites and it was good to see them here!

Bones

- a new player who managed to take on the challenge of hitting in TMW. Even at the end of the round, Bones maintained a very respectable networth.

BlackLiteTripper

- another new player who made a mark early on as a strong hitter. Good work!

ComaTosted

- Good job to ComaTosted for being a strong hitter and joining in the battles between the Shortbus families and their enemies.

ElToroBlanco

- For maintaining a strong family and being anti-DefyMe all round! elToroBlanco gives as good a shit-talking as he gets. He also gets lots of props for placing high in almost every single stat.

Knuckles

- for taking risks and experimenting with different ways to injure other players. Good try at hitting that Dragon Ball Z family (even if Gohan did talk shit).

tuxx

- even though he was suicided early on for soft hitting, he still managed to both hold a good networth and high rankings on the stats board.

Borat

- for holding very high rankings on all stats and sticking out in the top ranks all round.

tom_delonge

- for placing on all of the stats despite a late start. He always manages to hold his own in a toe-to-toe battle.

NorCal

- even as a relatively new player to TheMobWorld.com, NorCal got his/her own family started and placed high on the stats this round. Good job!
