Not at all. What I am trying to do (and what Assassin should be trying to do) is showing that if no one does anything, Apprime will win. If they're taken down, we're all in the race again. It doesn't make Ascendancy the default winners, (we're 8th for god's sake!), it just puts us all back in the race.

FIguring someone else will mention this, I'll pre-empt them: writing this post, I am reminded of (I think) round 29(?), when we were in a similar situation. CT was way in the lead, and I and others tried to convince ND and Denial(?) that fighting CT was the best thing to do. Ascendancy ended up winning that round, of course.

The thing is, we might not have. And yeah, if Apprime gets taken down, we get a chance to win this round. But other alliances get one too. So it's simple: it's a choice between losing to Apprime for certain, right now or a maybe losing to Ascendancy later on in the round. I know which I'd pick.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey. Last edited by Mzyxptlk; 6 Sep 2009 at 13:32.
