Asc had a fight on their hands last round, and i dont see any reason why they shouldnt this round. Omen were stopped from running away with round 30 early on through other allys cooperating with Asc.

suggesting that at any point last round omen looked like running away with the round...i really must question who seems to be taking crack here?

i cant speak about the creation of WAFHH as that was nothing to do with me but rediscovering fun was a big part of joining it.

after a few rounds fighting for your ally at all costs and HC'ing etc for me its nice to just work with a reliable core, with no expectations except to work for each other and do as well as we can

i wouldnt say its the best tactical choice by any stretch of the imagination, but for me the only choice. my options were to join asc and roidrace my allymates all round bashing the universe, not play at all or join a smaller ally/bg (even though im aware i will get bashed anyway). i ruled out joining CT/ND/Fang based on recent history of how large allys run and fail, and the fact another round of working my ass off only for asc to dominate holds no interest for me.

in that sense the statements about the community giving up could be considered true. i like to think this BG phase is either rebuilding or taking time off to re-think without abandoning a game we all enjoy very much.

on paper maybe, but looking at recent history of the past 5/6 rounds - not really.

especially considering talk that ct and nd are weakened this round and that asc have 150 members with access to munin, and are still actively recruiting.
