I'm not saying that I want quality to be overcome by superior numbers - just that it's the only way. If it is overcome by superior quality or tactics that just means that higher quality STILL beats lower quality ("Ult wins again"). If a new alliance forms with better quality players than Ult then superior numbers will be needed to overcome them. Sorry if this seems to be circular logic but it's self-evident.

The point is that "the rest of us" (not just me) are tired of seeing the same alliance win every round - 4 on the trot with a distinct likelihood of adding this one.

This community, rightly or wrongly, has always dismissed any rank other than #1 as being a failure but I agree with you that 2nd is (can be) better than 3rd (or 5th). Indeed I always cared about VGN's performance in every round when I was HC there.

You seem to be arguing against your own poin here (see your 2nd paragraph) and, as I've repeated argued, tag size has no effect on competition. There will still be one dominant alliance, two or three "in with a chance if they block" and "the rest".

We have plenty of facts (right Mzyx?) but even if we hadn't that wouldn't be a good reason to break up existing groups of players to make the find new homes (or quit).
