Not really. I fail to see how other alliances not going for the win should decrease your own motivation to. Quite the opposite: the fewer alliances go for the win, the higher your own chances of winning are.

In fact, we've done it rather often. Usually from a position in which we just ended up giving alliances like CT a chance to win, because they themselves couldn't be arsed to. That's irony for you. I remember a round in which Ascendancy set up a block against the #1 alliance (Apprime, I think, but don't hold me to it) at a time when we were 6th.

The problem here is that alliances like CT are never the ones to take the initiative. Even ODDR gave it a try this round, but CT are just an inert force and always have been.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
