It's how politics work. The thing is Ascendancy and Apprime are the only alliances at this current time in a decent situation with latesignups being just around the corner which will fill Ascendancys tag very very quickely. The other alliances need to chill out and concentrate on there game because it's inevitable that Ascendancy and Apprime will need to fight it out sooner or later.

It's already been pointed out but seems you missed it; both asc and app rather avoid eachother and go for easier roids from gal raiding. It makes sense for both of them and don't expect it to change for a while.
If you wait for that, it will be too late for anyone else to have a chance and from a neutral viewpoint why would you want that? Hitting anything else than apprime atm wouldn't be logic, that doesn't mean you can't have the same people hitting asc later. Both Vision and p3n are flying a little under the radar as this thread is evidence of and if they can use that the right way they will have a chance to upset the two favourites.

Expecting politics to be the same two rounds in a row, can't remember that ever happening and it's a completely different situation anyway, new alliances up there with new faces and hopefully new ideas. I think the best thing to do for everyone would be pulling apprime back to the pack, the stand out as the strongest alliance atm and if the top4 (meaning asc/app/p3n/vsn to me) were closer more interesting situations could develop.

I do agree though, if anyone was to focus on asc atm it would have to be apprime, the potential is there for asc to be strong but it's not something p3n or vision should be worried about. In fact, the sooner asc get closer to them the better since asc will have to play to win. Last round wasn't about that and I think asc didn't go higher than 4th or 5th all round.. You want asc involved trying to win the round, that's the only way for p3n or vision to stand a chance. An asc vs app war looks certain to happen at some point, untill then the two other contenders have to stay in range and make their move once that war starts.
