You keep saying this, and it keeps being as true as it is irrelevant. Read my previous reply to you to understand why.

I doubt this is true. If you have a bunch of alliances who've just closely worked together to bring down Apprime, and have achieved this goal successfuly, you have a lot of members with high morale, each of whom sees only one highly skilled alliance to stop them winning the round: Ascendancy. Do you really believe they wouldn't do the same thing to Ascendancy as they did to Apprime? That they would think to themselves "let's gangbang this one highly skilled alliance, and once we're done with them, let's leave this other one alone and settle for second place"? That would be fairly irrational (euphenism for stupid).

It's not what a rational person would do, which is the only kind of person that can be predicted. As such, we tend to make the assumption that you are in fact rational, and act accordingly. In this case, that meant aligning ourselves with the only alliance likely to accept the offer: Apprime.
