Round 32 Predictions?
 

obligatory predictions thread etc etc :p

asc going for a 5th win?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

CBA will be kicked from whatever alliance he joins

csillag will forget all about leaving pa and sign up an account

ND will finish 1st or 2nd

correction: JBG will be censored more than 150 times in AD threads

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I heard she's bping eksero :(

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

You do realise I actually just write normally and the forum censors me right? I mean, why on earth would I deliberately censor myself? How irksome would that get.


On topic obviously Ascendancy will win again. You may as well just give up now. Wait, you all did that last round, never mind.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Ahh good, back to arrogant insufferable JBG, I was beginning to miss you.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

ND will finish the round with the most value crashed, the BGs (what's left of them) will block against Ascendancy again than give up at some point, CT will cruise around like usual, we'll have another war between the small alliances which will end when all of them will be roided dry by the big guns. About it.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Wasnt it Ascendancy that gave up last round? or are we forgetting that you gave up and offered xVx an unconditional win? (xVx rejecting it, isnt an argument against you giving up btw).

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I don't recall claiming that Ascendancy didn't give up last round. Not that that happened pre-round and would therefore be relevant to what I was saying anyways...

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

predictions? who is even playing btw?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I predict it's going to be a crap round. Again. Maybe not as bad as last round but still boring. Ascendancy are going to win. 5 in a row would be pretty epic. Watching on sandman's/with an inactive planet (maybe) is going to be hilarious.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I predict that Kilas predictions will come true.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Denial will win.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

1st - Best alliance
2nd - The alliance that could have won but will opt to fence instead

3rd - #1 'Rebulding round' alliance

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Bring it. :)

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I hope someone out there is taking the initiative and building a strong alliance to compete for the win!

Venox and Wish may have failed but at least they tried, and I'm pretty sure they made everyone's rounds much more fun while they kept up the effort!

(I think Venox actually won once? Mehh, history is irrelevant.)

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

i built 5 strong allies for this round beware :P
No seriously this thread is useless untill we know whos playing ...

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

1. asctootstoom
2. nd
3. vnc alliance
4. ct
5. xvx
6. rock
7. whatever assassins alliance is called
...
36. Peniz alliance

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Hellkicker you idiot.. it was supposed to be kept a secret! :crymeariver:

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

/me spankz

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

With lower tag numbers and support rule in force i don't think things will be that clear cut

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Are you referring to a specific prediction here or just saying that in general?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I mean in general. I think there could be a few suprises and some interesting twists this round.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Did you get that from a fortune cookie?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Knowing ND's intel, probably!

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

ND gonna pwn this round.. toot coming in 2nd, ct 3rd

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Just wondering, whats with everyone predicting ND ftw? Do you guys know something I don't?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I sure would not mind that ND wins (Since I'm ND) But I am not convinced we will win tbh. I think the quality just isn't there.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Maybe they plan on recruiting the Liths!

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Well i just think the same thing as last round will happen.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Denial will return to bring back the fight!

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

This won't be a popular answer but it depends how it pans out for Ascendancy. While there's a long term aim of winning for Ascendancy in every round, we have to accept the fact that we're going to be dealing with politics in a hostile universe.

We have dumped many active players because they simply weren't suitable for where we wanted to take the alliance, so while our competence levels will probably rise, our capacity to win in terms of average activity will probably diminish.

On a personal level, I'm sure our enemies will find something else to moan about now they've got their support planet rule in place. If Ascendancy set up a scan team out of tag purely designed to pick out support planets so we can get our opponents deleted, will that be deemed as 'unfair' support? Any answers?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

i predict a lot to change and a lot to stay like it was before

less bg´s more alliances (with which size a tag is an alliance and a bg though?)

new alliances

old leaders

nubs get bashed still; though for 15% roids now, but who cares 90 roids a day (2x45) is still better then nothing.

and in the end, someone will nap the #1 ally to come #2nd
instead of putting up a fight against em and eventually end 3rd or 4th
(and probably they claim, that they never aimed to win the round)

cheers

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Whoever doesn't win will never admit to have aimed for top spot lol ^^
Any news about if the Liths+cardi stay in xVx?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Actually I'd just like to pick up on this; while we gave up on winning, everyone else pretty much gave up on playing; when xVx saw they were being massively outcapped and outgrown they pretty much gave up racing. Which is why we won.

People can throw rocks at us for "giving up", but we're the only group honest enough to admit when we've been pathetic.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Cardinal was sponsored into Ascendancy by jesterina and kicked from Ascendancy by jesterina a couple of days later. I don't know where he is now.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I think a denial return is what is needed tbh, although denial would have to overcome their weakness of political incompetency. If denial had ascs ingenuity then they would be a hell of a force.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

not gonna happen

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I've been told they were gonna join CT, but left again and now plan on going solo (BG most likely)

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Asc cutting 20 members off their tag will just make them better. They had some pretty bad players intag last round, some of their raids looked like Orbit attacks...

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

only 20?
Tbh, i counted more.... wanna count again?

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

That's most likely the best solution, the just should make the tag "The Liths" and that's it, so everybody knows who to hit.... :salute:

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I doubt Asc will have even 40 real planets next round. Munin is now capped to only allow 71 members including himself. Browsing through the access list I can see ~17 people who won't have planets or who are so inactive that it won't matter if they do. That's generally speaking too, I have no idea how many additional 'good' players will be taking the summer off. In other words, we haven't exactly been optimised for score.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

71 is 1 more than tag limits! Just couldn't resists cheating could you!

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

It'd only be cheating if Munin had a planet, in which case it'd be doubly cheating!

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Dont we feel loved eh.

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

I think what Hut meant was the ally limit has been cut by 20.. not that Asc have willingly cut 20 members..

But it's nice to see eksero/Reese being prop kicked, I'd like to lend my support if it counts! <3

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Yeah, the ally limit and the Ascendancy cull had nothing to do with each other. If anything, this helps us because we wouldn't manage to fill a 90-man tag this round (at least, not without significant recruitment).

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

if u kick 80 ppl, and 14 maybe... whos left?? o0 Like only 10 guys maybe xD

Re: Round 32 Predictions?
 

Obviously they will be recruiting most back.. same as when they had the full cull before r30.
