I can't speak for CT, but from Ascendancy's perspective, it wasn't like we were going into the round aiming for alliance win. Planet win or gal win (with our forting strategy) maybe, but definitely not alliance win. So when we suddenly found ourselves in the running for alliance win after all, we were exceeding our own expectations. Once that window of opportunity closed, after the wars with Ultores and then Black Flag, we were simply back on course to meet our expectations. What other people expected of us may be another matter.

So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey.
