Lok, you were asking why this situation is different to ND's position earlier in the round. It was also alot earlier in the round when it took place, not during towards the end. Now however we have the situation where the 'best' alliance has the most roids and has the highest value across its planets.

Actually with an enhanced chance of landing pretty much anywhere and Ascendancy/ND being contained and probably losing fleets, I think they'll be catching up, even if their income doesn't reach Asc/CT like levels. But they don't need to help Ascendancy or ND in the immediate future. As I've said before, they can intervene later on but they've probably got no interest in the very short term.

Well really the problem I have is that your ideas don't really benefit Conspiracy Theory. I mean the logical conclusion of what you propose is leaving them horrifically exposed to one ally that would probably have overrun the other, thanks to their help.

My alternative is where CT get the benefit of growth and the opportunity to dictate the balance of the conflict should they feel uncomfortable with how its going, rather than tying themselves to one mast and potentially getting things badly wrong. You would lead them on a path to potential ruin and I see no reason for them to accept that.
Your suggestion would be fantastic if the round had another 6 weeks to run. CT have got to make up near on 30million on two alliances, and the only way this will be achieved is by putting pressure on these two alliances, which means CT will need to hit either ND or Asc now.

Now out of ND or Asc which alliance would you classify as the 'easier' to break and thus could be potentially chased down in the final few days? Asc when in a position of higher value have survived 4+ alliances attacking them for days before, are you trying to tell me this round will be any different?
