I am of the opinion that if Omen where out of the picture, Asc would back themselves in to chase down CT 1 on 1 for the win. I do not believe that Omen (or CT's view of Omen for that matter) would be as confident with this situation. With Asc having a possible 8 planets left to add to tag and only a 5.5k rock deficit to Omen ( which could easily be bridged if 8 mid round sign ups had between 500-1k roids, more so when considering Asc's previous record of highly contributive mid round signups, ) not to mention a lions share of the PA elite, i now see Asc as being in the box seat for a challenge to CT's lead.
I believe CT joined this round, seeing Asc as their main challenger for a round victory, this is based on teaming with Omen for the first few hundred ticks in taking out Asc. If CT saw Omen as their main rival, i believe it would be vice versa. If the current climate continues, sooner rather than later itll become clearer that Asc is still their main rival. I wonder, will CT continue to play 2nd fiddle to Asc, as has happened previously, will they focus their efforts elsewhere with regards to war, or will they hope to stay out of trouble long enough to win the round?
In my opinion, this is a round that has to be taken, not given, as has happened previously.
With regards to several Asc members claiming they dont think they will win/would be happy with Asc coming 2nd as long as they beat Omen, i dont believe, for one second, believe a word of this. Two characteristics that have seperated Asc from the rest of of the pack for the past few rounds has been their self belief and will to win, its highly unlikely that these traits have escaped them, now that a ground breaking 3peat is a possibility. I think this could be Asc members playing down their chances/aspirations for another round victory, (kinda lay low untill the end, like that guy from saw, then pop up and walk out the door
).
JBG, being an intelligent and charismatic PA leader, could you perhaps put forward some more constructive/less sarcastic comments/arguments? Undoubtedly you are a far more knowledgable than myself when it comes to the majority of this game, perhaps youd like to share your opinion, or not?
Thankyou mz for expressing yourself clearly and intelligently. It is refreshing to have a well structured reply in this thread.
