Incidentally I was talking to jester the other day and he said if Ascendancy wins this round he'd be pro kicking everyone afterwards and just seeing what happens. Certainly our template for playing PA will still be there for everyone to pick up if they want to. Personally I don't believe, and I doubt he does either, this round will be as much of a walkover as some people seem to think so I'm cool with it playing out.
The only thing i'd comment on this is, that PA history is different to how the game stands at the moment. The game is dying and it looks like the community has just given up trying to stop Asc, It also doesnt help that next round Asc is clearly favourite (to dominate it by alot) and then Asc recruits well over the alliance-limit to 130 planets while every other alliance is struggling to even reach the cap.

Before, i'd argue that it was the communitys fault not Asc's.. but now the community has given up, everything lies at Asc's feet.
