Ascendancy, the future?
 
I'm writing this post expecting lots of funny, someone less funny, and someone down right stupid, but still funny replies from Ascendancy, but also, I would like to ask what is the goal and purpose for Ascendancy now?

The way I see it, the only thing that is left for ascendancy now is to achive top ranked alliance in terms of average score, average roids, score and roidcount. Three which they have achived before, however, i am unsure all four last round.

I ask Ascendancy: What is there left to achive for you now?

We've achieved all of these multiple times.

Ok Achi, but let's say next round, what would be a result that Ascendancy would be happy with?

Mzyxptlk 4 May 2009 18:01

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
No. I would be happy with another round like last round. Not that I'm actually "playing", mind you, but let's pretend.

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
i dont see why everyone here basis every ****ing thing on ascendancy.

We will play our way you will play yours, whatever way you play yours you will find a way to blame us for ruining the game/ruining the way you play.

I have an idea. How about someone else comes up with something new? wow that would make a change.

Now this thread will just be another from various people moaning about asc and also telling others to do things without doing them themselfs(CBA / JM) you will have the usual ascendancy squad and Kila who personally i think should never ever post. Then you will have Wishmaster who will pop up somewhere when omen and its shortcomings are mentioned. And then believe it or not Light will probably post something actually almost useful.

Can we just stop these shit predictable threads.

thank you

ps whats left is to actually get through this god awful round.

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
Most other alliances seem to have no goals beyond existing... If they did they would probably have to kick Asc to achieve them; therefore why should asc be different from them and have a goal... we are all in the doldrums, im not sure about all in the same boat tho.

Our number one aim this round is to go one week without someone making a thread on AD about us :salute:

CBA 4 May 2009 21:18

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
What a poor thread. Have we not heard enough of Ascendancy recently. I'm not just saying this because the gool posted a bad context thread but seriously, like Benneh says.

Not really, i dont see the point in these threads anymore. We had these threads pre-round and nothing was done to combat the situation, now no-one has an excuse for allowing Asc to dominate. The reality is, if you're a good player who joined Asc this round, joined a BG, joined xVx, left CT/ND, or even didnt try to setup an alliance to combat Asc (like Wishmaster last round).. Then you're directly to blame for the situation..

Asc isnt to blame for dominating, you cant blame Asc for accepting good players.. You can only blame the members who joined Asc for choosing to join Asc (To give yourself a better chance at a high planet rank) over helping fight them.

Asc's goal is to win... It should be everyone elses goal to stop them winning, Its not Asc who should be changing its goals, but everyone else to change there goal to challange them.

lokken 4 May 2009 21:54

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
Bad leadership is far more important. Many of the players who joined us this round have openly stated they were fed up with it and they felt that we were the best alternative.

If people feel the leadership is good, they'll stick around, even if it costs them a few ranks. But if the leadership is bad, they won't enjoy their round and they'll move on.

Zeyi 4 May 2009 22:55

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
I don't see why ascendancy need to have goals, no-one is pressuring them this round - I'd just play relaxed and enjoy myself, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did this and still won.

People need to stop moaning/bitching/pointing fingers at ascendancy, questioning ascendancy on their motives and aims - because quite simply the problem is not them. If they're winning then they're doing something right the rest of us aren't.

Just let them continue and if they bother you so much, do something about it yourselves instead of expecting them to be the ones to change.

Go f*** yourself Light. Read the old threads about how to defeat Ascendancy, then read your reponses, then read what you just wrote there. !

I suspect the only actual goal is to piss off enough people that someone in the PA community will find some balls again and challenge them.

Knight Theamion 5 May 2009 00:40

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
apperently some bg's are teaming up. failing epically (probably) and then the two biggest will merge to challenge asc.

Tommy 5 May 2009 00:43

how can u merge alliances now? And be in the running for #1 that is.

I think u cant merge after u reach 40 people in total or something ( correct me if I m wrong ) but I remember some nub who was in his own tag last round in omen early on, and instead of him leaving, then join omen tag in 48ticks, we just merged the tags, but then I accepted over 40 during the merge period, and it was cancelled!
:fail:

And Benneh, believe it or not, I try to avoid posting about last round, but others keep bringing it up! :( give it a round or so and its all forgotten <3

they will try though, but those combined bg's will never last long.

My only hope is that I can somehow go back in time and avoid signing up for this round.

Cant really see the bgs knocking asc away from the top, but screwing with people is always doable.

preferences -> Exile/Del/Reset/Vaction -> push the box where it says: Yes, I wish to delete my account!

if half of asc did this, it might be an interestign round! :)

so whos responsibility is it light, Asc's or the communitys. you seem to be giving two conflicting opinions on it :P

I'd be terribly disappointed in myself if I quit just when the round went from mind-numbingly tedious to mind-numbingly tedious and predictable.

In those two quotes, I dont state its Asc's responsibility.. just thats the only solution as no-one was stepping up to fight them.

Plus, one opinion was pre-round where everyone was guessing how badly Asc would dominate and how terrible the round is.. The other is at week 1/2 of the round, I'm allowed to change my opinion :p

Fuzzy 5 May 2009 02:56

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
tbh any 'problem' within the game/community are the responsibility of EVERYONE to fix

everyone in ascendancy seems to be screaming at those outside it for being shit and not challenging them

everyone not in ascendancy seems to be screaming at ascendancy for recruiting most of the best and active people left in the playerbase

i cant see it ever ending :(

Kargool 5 May 2009 03:21

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
I think Fuzzy is quite close to hitting the nail here really.. There seem to be no challengers for asc, so this will really be the death of the alliances as we know it.

I can. I personally will be recommending Ascendancy not bother to play after this round regardless of whether we win or lose. If any competent alliance would like to play against us they can let us know. If 250 people would like to see if sheer weight of numbers can compensate for the fact you don't have a ****ing clue how to play planetarion I can't really say I'm that interested. If nobody hits us for the whole round either that's not going to be interesting either. Obviously at some point sheer weight of numbers could actually do the job. I can't honestly say I really care enough what that point is and I can't say I care enough to try and prevent that point coming about. It's just boring.

Fuzzy 5 May 2009 05:14

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
i meant the arguing JBG...but yeah :p

JonnyBGood 5 May 2009 05:22

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
I'm pretty sure what I proposed would end the arguing as well!

Jonas 5 May 2009 06:24

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
The problem is that Asc owns everyone and noone that could make some sort of counter alliance cba to run it as they have all played for too long. I think the alliance tag limits are a bit too high atm, considering only 2 alliances cba to goto 90 members and they are clearly sleeping together...hence doesnt have to stress by fighting.

Theres really no quality top alliances left in PA anymore, but Asc maybe...then again they would not have stood a chance vs certain other alliances that dominated rounds ago when the universe were more into confrontation than avoidance.

keeping it classy with those **** as always jbg ;) i think the logs below is a fair enough reason why the BGs are hitting asc, nevermind the regular comments coming from asc members asking when anyone will step up. now we have, is asc honestly now complaining? you have what you wish for.

<@Kila> we don't have a war to fight so I can actually play for planet/gal
<@M0|afk> hf
<@Mek|StudyDND> you not find that incredibly boring kila?
<@Kila> not yet
<@Kila> it probably will get boring and shit to the point that we have people roidracing each other
<@Kila> but so far, we've still got a ton of people in bgs that have roids. They can be roided to the ground to show them what a retarded choice they've made
<@M0|afk> retarded choice = not to join asc ?
<@Kila> retarded choice = form loads of small bgs instead of making the round interesting
<@Kila> this round we're able to kill people with personal vendettas and stuff
<@Kila> since we're not at war, I cna go out to **** whoever I dislike
<@Kila> which is pretty awesome. Some r0x faggot was defending vs me in an asc gal where I was raiding an inactive, despite reese/consi telling him not to, so my gal put a sizeable wave on him <3

Making everyone else quit. I'm pretty sure no alliance has achieved that before us.

awesome choice = play in a small bg and make the round interesting for yourself, regardless if it's interesting for the alliance that will finish first

As for the rest of your quote, playing in a small BG you can do all of those things, all of the time, which is idd pretty awesome.

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
People keep ****ing whinging about how easy the round is for asc and how there's nobody to stop them, making it boring. These same people happen to be sitting in all of these little BGs, which doesn't exactly help stopping the so called "ascendancy monster" does it?

CBA 5 May 2009 15:28

Re: Ascendancy, the future?
 
Just to clarify something here, whatever Kila says about how he feels/ ascendancy feels, ignore him, infact, whatever kila says, ignore. Makes reading these boards alot easier!

and well done people for hitting Ascendancy but let's just see how long it lasts for :D

Awesome choice = play in a small bg with lots of friends you haven't played together with since round 17.
Having lots of fun in priv channel, being surrounded with funny people you can actually trust and basicly enjoying a round of pa so far like i haven't done in a long long time :)

<3 Insomnia <3 (and no we're probably not disbanding this round for a change!)

Most of those people just like whining, and actually don't care if asc wins or not. Most of the people who truly do care if asc wins or not have joined asc.
