Like they probably would have done e.g. last round if it wasnīt for Asc to approach people to make something happen that keeps the round interesting and somewhat open? At least thatīs what (not or not only Asc) posters say on this forum.

At the end of the day, Asc WILL do something, most likely sooner, rather than later. Now you can refute that as much as you like, but you, i, and everyone else here knows that it isnt in Asc's nature to sit by and watch someone run away with the round, as we wouldnt be here otherwise.

Thatīs probably due to the fact we donīt fancy stagnation, unlike ~95% of the game, including Apprime (considering the whine I got from some of their members last round about them not being able to dominate everyone due to the evil bock).

Now, while both sides kick the shit out of each other, they can go about their merry way, getting easy roids from gal raiding.
If for some reason, Asc choses to sit out and let App grow, Asc will no doubt become a victim of its own excellence, and very very quickly climb up the universe rankings. At this point App will make a move on Asc, and we are back to the beginning of this post.

Maybe, after the rest of the t10 has been farmed completely dry so thereīs no way to roidrace any further.

The other alliances gain nothing by flakking for you. Any headway they make towards #1 will be more than negated, by bringing Asc up with them, resulting in a Hydra-esque scenario.
|
Considering both Ascendancy and Apprime, being superior to everyone else going by your assumption, are likely to roidrace for a while on cost of like everyone else before they actually go to war (cuz thatīs when you go to war - when you canīt outroid someone else and are forced to take a different approach), any other t10 ally has nothing to gain by not going to war either - except you consider getting the shit farmed out of your planets/gals a goal worth playing for.

Imo, the PA community should sit out, and for the first time in a very very long time, let Ascendancy do the dirty work for them, instead of the other way round. Why should they get involved, when they can effectively kill 2 birds with 1 stone?
|
The birds could both be falcons deciding to feed off the doves before hitting each other. Yes, itīs that easy. It has happened before, it can happen again.

Btw, it warms my cold and stoney heart that you believe i could possibly provide anything more insightfull than the aforementioned Hero's of Planetarion.
I didnt think Fuzzy deserved to be put in the same bracket as hanzi tho
