To be honest, that sounds pretty sensible.


No alliance can outroid Asc or Apprime. I don't think any other ally could take them on one on one either.

Even if Subh had taken down ND, that would have left them in the situation of either a) roidracing Asc/Apprime (they lose) or b) fighting Asc/Apprime with one fewer ally (they're more likely to lose).

If Subh hadn't crashed as much and had eventually worn down Asc/Apprime so they weren't in the running (which would take well over a week. Even if Subh got a hard time to start with, they'd eventually get low on roids and Asc/Apprime would be forced to go elsewhere), they could either a) roidrace ND or b) fight ND. Both of which are easier.


The only way any other ally is going to beat Asc/Apprime is for there to be a block that fights those 2 down. In simple self interested theory free riding is the most sensible choice, but if alliances do that then there will be no block and they lose anyway.
