So therefore, unless my intel of last round is incorrect, they were not usless.

As myself, mz and Lok have just said, targeting strong Apprime galaxies is not enough. Penguins are not denting Apprime's growth, merely costing their own. If Penguins were gal roiding easy targets, their growth would be much stronger, and the difference in day-on-day growth between Apprime and Penguins would be a lot smaller, CT are a brilliant example of this (edit: in previous rounds). However to the point, they'd still be behind Apprime, and that gap would still be increasing, as Apprime are simply better militarily. Hence the need for politics, a block, a war, etc., it's the only way to outgrow an opponent that is better than you.
Penguins' current tactics are therefore useless.

Fantastic position, 8th. Any of the other alliances above us could take those "stronghold" galaxies down with a few days of good play at the moment.

There's no demanding going on. It's just obvious common sense that the universe needs to do something in order to prevent Apprime running away with it. Ascendancy is not separating itself from the rest of the universe, merely questioning the lack of leadership shown by the leading opponents to Apprime.

I'm pretty sure NewDawn being shit had a hell of a lot more to do with Lukey getting roided than Ascendancy "letting" him get roided. You expected Asc to defend him more than his own alliance?
