We're playing to keep on trucking until the end of the round, which gives us a chance of winning or at least a chance to be a real factor at the end of the round if we're going back to the ways of raking the bottom of the top 10.
We have the politicians, stats and quality of player to achieve that; the BGs didn't and we certainly won't be entering fights where bigger alliances can afford to pick us off one by one and take advantage of our smallness. What amused is the totally one dimensional suicidal tactics of the BGs. They pretty much decided they didn't want to be a factor in the endgame by going after one alliance, which left them open to picked off one by one and simply swamped due to a low defence pool. Never mind the fact they were trying to protect themselves and got so horrifically burned I'd describe their politics as some of the most predictable and self-destructive I've seen. Size was never the issue; it was the way many of you were playing in the context of that size. DLR's position of r30 or SPOOOOON's of last round made way more sense.
Looking at your situation you've got at least two quality BG's cobbled together who will do almost anything to let their mates win. Your problem is going to be holding it together when elviz and cardinal start splitting hairs over planet ranks. You've certainly got the forces to win this round but I don't envy the challenge you have of getting this 'Apprime' over the finishing line (although it should be possible). It is a nice political hook for people to consider later in the round though.
