So go out there and figure out your stance based on the facts alone, rather than going to AD and basing it on the opinions of a noisy few (be they Ascendancy or otherwise).
Could you explain how these correlate please because I'm not really seeing the connection. Either they're going to be objective or just automatically mistrust people regardless of their post content because Ascendancy keep winning due to levels of play (catastrophically good/bad) that no one can possibly have accounted for or genuinely predicted.

But let's look at trust anyway for shits and giggles:

As VenoX said.. the community just doesnt trust Asc anymore, it may be true that they arnt at full strength and have no real chance at winning the round but that really doesnt matter. As if it is true, then the community will just switch targets after they realise it.
Really, I think people are confusing trustworthiness with losing. Winning happens for a number of reasons and if you think a bad decision by xVx HC in r31 or an exquisite Ascendancy performance in r30 or massive political vulnerability in our enemies were foreseeable by anyone and that by not predicting that makes Ascendancy's assessment of the situation dishonest, well I think this post is a little bit beyond you really.

I mean really, can we just cut through the shite and just say "I don't want Ascendancy to win" so I don't have to suffer terrible logic?
