Re: R66 who will win

Clouds you are falling into the trap that so many people here do. Your aim does not matter, it is the perception others have of your aims that matter. Almost everyone I have spoken to this round about who looks likely to win says BF, and many rate your chances higher than Ult. Regardless of your aim you are an involved alliance. Norse was not an involved alliance because it was under 40 members and no one rated their chances.
The aim an alliance had only matters (from an outside perspective) afterward when we can argue about whether allies met their goals.

While the block had taking Ult down as a goal it is pretty clear if we had had a chance we would have moved off ult to another alliance to try to ensure a win in our block. Unfortunately Ult put up more of a fight than we would have liked so we had to fight ult to the end to prevent their win. In which circumstances leaving Norse alone (more or less) was the lesser of two evils. It fulfilled one of two goals. It would be comedy if we were still blocking an Ult that was clearly out of the race (like BF did to p3n in round 57), that never happened.
