If anything we need more, if we're going to encounter this kind of blocking every round. To the recruitment mobile!

Now i might be reading too much into this but.... this surly states that if xvx find themselves in third or lower that asc can legitimately run for the round win since this part of the agreement will not have been met.....

I have to admit I'm not sure which of these two options accurately describes the agreement, I was not the one who brokered it.
My personal opinion is that it doesn't matter if your alliance ends second or third or seventh; only the first place matters. As such, it makes no sense to intentionally end below xVx if that just means a
third alliance is going to run away with the win. If my interpretation is incorrect I'll gladly apologise.

Awesome though we are, I doubt we'll beat xVx if we're in a war and they're not. Furthermore, an alliance cannot win until the very last tick: midround ranks are meaningless. That said, I think it would be an underhand move to only drop members right before the last tick.
