Round 34 Predictions
 

Hadn't seen the round prediction thread yet, and it's one of the few I enjoy reading on the pa forums! So then, what's going to happen this round? Who will be the top contenders? Anything surprising going to happen, or is it going to be another round of the same old stuff?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

For once, I honestly have no clue whatsoever of who is going to be top 3.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

#1 Ascendancy
#2 NewDawn
#3 Apprime
#4 VisioN
#5 Euphoria

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

TFFT I thought I was the only one.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

apprime+euphoria and then xvx/nd for the 3rd topspot

if they have full tags like i think i heard

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Considering both Apprime and Ascendancy are only playing with about 40 people I highly doubt we'll see them in the top spots.
Euphoria might be a shit name but it does have some decent players, maybe this'll be their round to shine!

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Does anyone know of any alliances who are going to field a full tag? (as in 60+ players)

ND?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

What's Euphoria all about?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

ND/CT? VisioN/xVx/Euro/Subh close to it?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

It's that new fragrance by Calvin Klein!

I sure that's where they got the name from. ^^

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Ascendancy only started last round with something like 50 people intag. That said I know a lot of people there aren't intending on playing too seriously and I've been led to believe that apprime are only going to play with a smallish core of 40 odd. This is fairly understandable, most of the people in both alliances have been the most active in the last six or seven rounds of pa.

However knowing both alliances relatively well I fully expect at least 1 of them to be among the top 3 alliances by the time the round ends and certainly both to be in the top 5. A smaller starting playing base will hold them down initially but there are a lot of very good planet managers in there and a higher concentration of players with the necessary expertise to challenge at the top. That said with me not in Ascendancy and cardi apparently leaving apprime midround and golan too hate-filled to have a full conversation with another human being maybe all that expertise will be out of play!

I'll go for #1 euphoria over #2 apprime with #4 ascendancy behind and #3 xvx with #5 CT #6 ND #7 Subh #8 VsN. I'd imagine a very close round which won't be decided by the last tick (as in the score gap will be tiny and the #1 alliance won't necessarily look like the strongest one).

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

JBG decided to leave Ascendancy after R33. I think he joined F-Crew (no, that´s no joke).

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

maybe they don't like consoles?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

I predict that almost all of these predictions are fails.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

I predict your prediction will either be completely right or completely wrong, or somewhere in between.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Some bold predictions itt

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

I hope Ascendancy trounce you all!

Munin has 73 members added. Where did you get 40 from?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Only 26 people intag so far though. Not that it matters, we'll probably win anyway.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

See! The round hasn't even started yet and Asc is already using forum propaganda!

I'll have to say, this round there are quite a few alliances that could get #1, not so much because they are that good, but rather because (as far as I know) no alliances actually have #1 as a goal.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

sure

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

I'm not entirely sure that saying "our goal isn't for #1" and actually not having #1 as a goal are one and the same.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

I predict
Planet:
#1 Chimpie
#2 ........

Galaxy
#1 Some asc gal
#2 ........

Alliance
#1 asc
#2 ........

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Considering only 26 people in tag according to mz, and two discussions on asc.tv list only 25/27 players, I think 40 was a better estimate than 73!

As far as I know, Subh, Euphoria and ND.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

60+ isnt full isil :(

and mz just cant stop lieing. there are 30 intag! dont listen to this asc propaganda

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

New? Its been on the market the last year :D

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Not over here! Though in that case I guess it is not new, technically. ):

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

yeah DLR, Vision, Euphoria, ODDR and all the small BG will go full tag. and only asc/apprime will not.

¬_¬

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

:d:d

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

no one said DLR and ODDR are going full tag, and only CBA guessed that Vision and Euphoria are close to full tag - from what i heard id guess vision are 50+ members atm and euphoria 40-50...though thats total speculation :p

i cant speak for apprime but i know ascendancy arent even close to full tag atm.

id say the most accurate post on this thread is

"this round there are quite a few alliances that could get #1, not so much because they are that good, but rather because (as far as I know) no alliances actually have #1 as a goal."

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

are you the round 30 Fuzzy "i would never join Asc" ?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

i never said i would never join asc

i always said id quite like to experience asc as an alliance! achi can confirm, im sure others can as well.

its the best alliance in a long, long time and some argue one of the best ever...im in the minority of people who have never been a part of it, so i dont see why people begrudge me joining it now for at least 1 round. (especially considering ascendancys dominance on the game now is considerably less than it was r28-31)

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Because no1 likes gloryhunters..

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

i could retort with a rational argument but that would probably go straight over your head considering i have no idea who you are and assume you know nothing about me, thus making your judgement of me moronic. so i will just say with confidence that you sir, are an idiot.

PS. READ THE PART INSIDE THE BRACKETS /o\

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Playing down Asc chances to avoid early incs, it's a classic, he learned his lessons and shows in that respect he's a good recruit.
:D

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

Why would someone 'never' join an alliance?

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

well the difference is last round when asc claimed the 'less members' thing they were like 4 members below apprime at the time :p

in this instance ascendancy only having 30 members currently in tag is a fact, and falls considerably short of the 70 member limit, though ofc that number is likely to change.

im not sure our chances of winning the round as i dont know how full other tags are, though id still guess ascendancy has the highest quality memberbase (despite a few key players not playing with them this round) and a lot will depend on the size of other alliances and as always, politics.

i wouldnt call that downplaying anything :p

EDIT: 32 members now! ascendancy have it in the bag.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

And without knowing me you assume that your l33t 'rational arguments' go straight over my head?

You say you wanted to experience Asc as an alliance after you did see them being dominating the game or just beeing extremely powerfull many rounds in a row. That makes you sir, look like an pure gloryhunter. And because universe is full of people like you Asc won't have problems to get their tag full during the round.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

i dont know you but i made the assessment that youre a moron based on the fact you made an utterly retarded post judging me when you really have no idea about me or what youre talking about.

yes, i wanted to experience asc as an ally since r26 when there period of awesomeness began, as they have been a fantastic group. its not about wanting an easy ride, but simply to be part of a well organised and ran alliance and to have that experience.

instead however i chose to join CT, Audentes and Omen for r28/29/30, being appointed HC of both audentes and omen during those rounds. After ascendancy won the 3-in-a-row after r30 and omen disbanded i joined a small BG called WAFHH instead of taking up the option to join ascendancy, as i didnt feel there would be any challenge in joining ascendancy, and i would rather fight as the underdog. I then spent the next 2 rounds in apprime simply since i am one of elviz' 'fanboys'.

Finally at r34, 8 rounds after asc initially appealing to me i have decided to join them as asc winning seems like less of a foregone conclusion than before and none of the other alliances playing appealed to me and it seemed a good chance to play in a group i always wanted to experience.

and i also genuinely dont see us as favourites going into this round simply due to numbers and our reputation always making us seen as a serious threat. if we do win though be assured it wont be an easy round and we wont get victory without a fight.

now having had to tell you what seems like my life story and sound like a self-obsessed twat i hope you leave your judgements aside and let me enjoy my round in ascendancy without spouting shite about things you simply know nothing about.

people can question my calibre as a player or leader all they like, but i dont appreciate fools who have no idea who i am questioning my integrity and motives.

EDIT: you can also see more on my views on people joining top allies instead of the opposition in threads such as the one this post is on.

the following post from lokken is pretty much why i joined ascendancy now.

Re: Round 34 Predictions
 

It's not like ascendancy's victories have been an easy ride.
