Asc and ND to war!?
Due to the recent rumours surrounding the fact Ascendancy and NewDawn are about to break their NAP at pt 912. Does this mean we'll finally see a decent war?
I think second place is a bit far to reach for Ascendancy, but perhaps NewDawn want some easy roids?
I hope this adds to an exciting last few ticks of the round!! Good luck to ya both.

Re: Asc and ND to war!?
Asc have been fighting CT and NFI (mostly CT) off and on for half the round, no reason either of them to sit on the sidelines while Asc and ND go toe to toe; ie any hostilities would see Asc smashed in short order.

Re: Asc and ND to war!?
We would get roided (not smashed), they would get fleetcaught. Considering our position, I think that's the best we could hope for. Let's do it.

Re: Asc and ND to war!?
Smashed was only to say it would be a rather one sided affair, of which the result is not in doubt. Wtf would it all be for, knock a few ND out of the t100? just so more NFI can take their place?
There would be probably no change in the rankings even if we fought very hard indeed. On the other hand ND is equally unlikely to knock us below CT so really its no change unless App overtake us but thats just block partners changing places, a total irrelevance, certainly not 'an exciting last few ticks.'
Sure if ND attack us then fight hard, but I dont see the point in fighting the 2nd ranked alliance for the simple reason that we know we would manage even less against the first ranked alliance. For rounds and rounds we have told ppl to hit the top, well practice what we preach and die storming NFI's ramparts. Hitting ND is just a sideshow.
[EDIT] Besides CBA is just stirring up trouble, I dont see a reason to gratify him.

I did say 'Sure if ND attack us then fight hard' but they dont gain much, we may have some roids, but we aint fat by any stretch of the imagination, average size rank 14.

You have a few fat planets, it's just the support planets brining down the average.

Re: Asc and ND to war!?
Thats not relevant at all, u cant go to war with our fatties without also fighting the thinner ppl. Its not as though we are an easy target, or the half dozen or so who have 1k+ roids have been sitting un-targeted like plums ripe for the picking.
So far all im seeing is a lot of NFI talk about what another alliance might or might not want. ND is not renowned for being particularly roid hungry, or for basing their politics upon that. If ND wants Asc roids that does not automatically mean war either, NAP or AT WAR are not a dichotomy in this game. If the NAP ends and remains un-renewed then they can eat fat Asc plums, then war is a choice for Asc when it comes to retaliation.

Re: Asc and ND to war!?
This round couldn't get any worse if I caught cancer and died before the end because then at least I wouldn't have to witness the entire ****ing shitshow played out.

iirc they should have payed themselves back around about now, but I might be wrong.
