Well, while you wouldn't compare them in a like for like context, their level of activity (which you have also pointed out), certainly would put them in an exilition like position in relation to the other alliances playing.

This is pretty borderline, but as it's reasonably relevant to Gate's point I'll let it pass. As the mod, no idea why you want to be precious about it but ok it's your choice I guess

:-) It's pretty easy to compare NewDawn to Exi or 1up. Since we were actually there & playing against them.
We ended up as 2nd best to both of them a time or two.

You know, it was funny when he did it, but after the tenth time it's really not all that entertaining any more. How about you think up your own jokes instead of rehashing others'.

Banana's go limp after a week then turn black and rot. That doesn't leave much left to win anything. I predict nothing, because I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I think his point was that someone trying to compare ND and 1up/eXi wouldn't need to speculate as ND were beaten by them both. Although ND did pretty well against 1up in Round 16 I think, but then Ascendancy won it so it was all forgotten!

If you want to. I'm not sure how relevant that is; ND have never pretended to be an 'elite' alliance and have never been up to eXi's quality.

My impression is that Denial can't quite reach an 'eXi like' position. They're more active, but never seemed like they could dominate any other alliance in the game like eX could.
Maybe they should be having a tougher time of it than eX did in some ways; they don't deserve the fear that eX instilled in others, so weaker alliances may be more willing to hit them.

I think he means they have the activity of eXi compared to other alliances but not the quality of eXi in regards to members compared to other alliances.

Re: Rnd 29 predictions
I've been newdawn and never seen exi or 1up as i missed those rounds. So it would be hard for me to compare them to either newdawn or denial.
Basically you can't say anything unless you have been in those alliances in any case.
It may also be a good time to remember infact that this is a predictions thread and not a "which is the best alliance ever" thread.
If it was in any case! The answer would be legion as it paved the way for all the great allainces in future rounds.

Asc
Aud

It's great when people can be so specific like this.
I'm just looking forward to the end of the round when everyone who's made a post like this (shit, did I do one?) comes along and says "I was (/nearly) right!". What a lot of smark marks we'll be then.
I think Audentes will do well. I dont know why they're being underestimated... they didn't have such a high membercount to start with but with the last minute pre-round rush things haven't turned out so bad for them. Plus they've got the 'experience' advantage over Denial when it comes to their command team at least.
My marginally revised prediction is everyone will gangbang Denial because they're the smart-arsed new kids that nobody likes, Asc will sit back and eventually take the win from Audentes who'll have a good debut round but fail to stay under the radar for long enough to avoid serious confrontation.
Predictions have got kinda boring. Anyone who knows what they're talking about all say the same thing, and anyone who suggests something else get ignored (/flamed for being wrong/stupid). Gets a bit tiresome really.

At this stage in terms of top value/size planets denial is about the same level ascendancy was at last round. I think we all remember how that ended up...

They are. I don't bother lying about these things. Your intel this round is either very poor or you have no idea what last round looked like at this stage.
