SVS Prep Day Three — 2196 Sweeps the Top Four, PANDA POWER Holds Fourth Alone

By Griff Harpoon · 2026-09-10

State 2196 took four of the top four alliance slots on Day 3, which is the kind of number that makes you stop checking and start drinking. BORN2KILL led the day at 367 million. SunfireWolves, SpartanHeroes, and TeQuitos followed. NWO dropped to fifth with 229 million. HAVOC held sixth at 173 million. IDK trailed at seventh with 151 million, which means HAVOC is beating IDK again, and at this point tracking the lead changes between those two is a full-time job that no one at this publication applied for.

On the personal board, USMC DRILL from BORN2KILL led at 70 million, followed by Bye Bye from SpartanHeroes at 54 million and Louie from BORN2KILL at 52 million. The top three are all 2196. In fourth place, representing the entire population of State 2128, is someone named !!PANDA POWER!! from HAVOC with 44 million points.

This requires explanation. State 2128 has adopted a Panda-themed profile picture campaign for SVS, which began when WHALESLAUGHTER declared it in leader chat without a vote. Players have responded by making Panda into a disco ball, a rickshaw puller, a spider, and a bodybuilder. At least one player has now changed their name entirely. !!PANDA POWER!! is Death. Whether this qualifies as team spirit or targeted harassment remains unclear. The points suggest it might be working. —Griff Harpoon, actually reporting.
