We have played under different tags in those rounds you were absent, it hasnt made the slightest bit of difference, the hate follows us - the way most alliances change is they change tag yes but what changes them is a change of HC; HC are the public face of alliances so it makes a big difference, Asc cannot become something else by changing HC because we dont have them. Most of our members play the game only because they like the Asc alliance model of playing, and if we changed the name of the alliance but still played in the Ascendancy style then it would instantly attract all of Ascendancy's baggage.
And in any event why should we be the ones to change our alliance when its your attitudes that are wrong. We have played this round exactly how a middle ranked alliance is supposed to - blocking to take on the big threats, first App then NFI. It is ND and CT who have been acting oddly, and against the general way they would in the past whether faced with App or Asc at the top or even Denial, or even further into the past ND and CT joining ROCK to depose xVx in r25, In r24 ND joined eX and some others to take on a stagnant CT/Urwins dominated universe. In all these cases ND and sometimes CT automatically blocked against the top rather than joining it.

But please can we not keep talking about Apprime as if they never intended to put any effort in this round?

Sure they would have been doing better, but they still wouldnt have been app at its peak, doing better would probably be second or third with Asc in 4th.
