You can claim that fury/fang was loosing, but from what I know they were far from dead.

Looking at it from my side I honestly believe that we would have been able to give you quite a good challenge towards the end.

We had no intentions of loosing 1 month before the ticks were supposed to stop. As far as I'm conscerned, the real war had not even started yet..

My bet would be that ; coordinated strikes with wp/ely/auld/hirr/kon/madcows in addition to the ones you were already getting from fury/fang/tot and later also nos could stop you guys from winning the round.
I'm not sure about that. From my perspective, Titans/LDK seemed to be having little trouble maintaining their lead even right at the end.

I have never been a great fan of Titans (due to some ancient history ), but their performance in r8 really was quite impressive. At the end, Titans/LDK, numbering less than 250 members between them, were holding their own against a substantially larger group of alliances and, from my perspective, seemed to be winning.

It's weird really. If the round had continued for another month, and Titans/LDK had actually won, it would have arguably been the most impressive victory since r2, in terms of the odds that the winning alliance(s) had to overcome. Whilst the Titans-hating side of me doesn't like to admit it, they were actually a pretty damned effective alliance, and an excellent challenge as an enemy.

I also suspect that the round would have, to some extent, ground to a halt in the final month anyway. Roid/score ratios were becoming very bad, and it was impossible to actually roid a genuine hostile planet without overkilling it massively. We could have grown by roiding neutrals (or Virus ), but Titans/LDK already had a lead on us and we would have had to actually hurt them in order to overtake them. From my perspective, that didn't seem to be happening enough
