Ascendancy ‘giving something back’
Many people on these boards have often critcised Asc for abusing/exploiting the community, well this is our gift back to you.
*Note this post is from our point of view, and we don’t require any ‘correction’ on any of the points, if you wish to do that start a new thread, all we require is your vote*
The story
To cut a long story short, as I’m sure many of you are aware ND/VGN have been fighting Denial for a while, this stopped a few days ago as Denial are not exactly ‘fighting fit’ anymore. Before this stopped we had approached CT about hitting ND as we were worried about a ND/VGN combo starting to run away with the round. CT accepted this was required, but didn’t want to do anything. A week passed by and CT grew very fat, even fatter than us! So we re-assessed the situation and now placed CT as the #1 competition to the top spot. We then talked with Denial/ND who agreed that a one night hit on CT could be co-ordinated, in order to bring their roids down to the level of ND/Denial (we have less members we need more roids to catch you!).
ND at mid day today pulled out, citing the reason they weren’t ‘ready’. Well fantastic we thought what a complete waste of time. So being the nice souls we are, we offered CT the same option we offered ND, having CT/Asc/Denial hit ND. CT have also rejected this, as they apparently can’t trust us as we planned to maybe attack with ND first or something.
The point
So we at Ascendancy have come to the conclusion that with no wars we can’t win, and also with no wars its boring as hell, so here is the proposal. We believe that ND and CT are silly for rejecting our proposals, and seem to want to ‘wait it out’. Well screw that, so this is where you come in. This thread is a poll for YOU the community to decide who we Ascendancy hit. Now the options are limited to CT or ND, and to be honest we aren’t really fussed which you pick. So there you go vote away! The thread results will be taken 48 hours from now, and then acted upon!
Disclaimer
Should ND/CT suddenly decide they want to work with us upto 16 hours before the poll ends we will accept the alliance that approaches us first, close the poll and declare it as so.
Happy Voting
The Asc Team!

They seem to be serious in intent, so no 'lol your mum' option has been provided.

If Denial aren't fighting fit and they're number 1, then what does that make the rest of us? :/

Having lots of score is not the same as being capable of going to war and winning it.

I mean really, CT or ND have the power to end this poll nonsense if they really want to (although I'm fully in support of the poll).
Let us suppose they both hit ascendancy. In the end the loser of the poll is going to be hit hard on the last few days and will be at risk of losing planetarion because Ascendancy will have every reason to save their fleets to hit the loser of the poll. I have no doubt that if the clock ticks to 48 hours and neither alliance does anything to stop it, Ascendancy will carry out their threat to the letter, regardless of the outcome because they have nothing to lose here.
So ultimately, while hitting Ascendancy is certainly an option, it comes with the risk to being at the mercy of a poll on AD (needless to say, I am looking out for any kind of abuse to this poll) and ultimately losing. I mean, if you're hitting Ascendancy but losing in the poll, why would you not attempt to seek a settlement? If you're winning, why would you hit an alliance that ultimately, could help you kill off your opponent with ease?
Naturally, there are several permutations and having thought them through, the risks to either of not doing anything are certainly quite real. I'm amused to see how the HC of either alliance will react.
I have no preference for either for the record as my involvement in the round so far is minimal and it's not really for me to judge or determine how my alliance decides to behave. But like many in Ascendancy, I like a good social experiment, and this one seems as good as any.

Maybe, but as ND proved in R24, having lots of score but being unable to fight a war can win you the round

Re: Ascendancy ‘giving something back’
Surely Asc is good enough to take out both ND and CT by itself, should be an option for this imo.

Given the nature of Game's first post I don't think they are really caring for that option even if they might think they could play it that way.
Next question please!

But then Game didn't say they were not in the position to win the round. He didn't because a random alliance idling to the win is of no interest to the community in general, and Ascendancy in specific, only to the alliance in question, and even then, only to a certain extent.
Whatever the outcome of this poll is going to be, it's going to liven up the round. Either Ascendancy hits CT with ND, or Ascendancy hits CT with ND, or Ascendancy gets hit by ND and CT (despite the arguments against it that Lok posted; alliance HCs have been known to act unreasonably in the past). What it most definitely won't be is more boredom.

They would not be unreasonable; they would simply be consciously acting against a substantially real risk that they would be heavy favourites to lose the round.

How is Denial not winning the war against Vgn/ND if they have a higher average roids and score?

See, it's the "consciously" bit I'm not so sure of. Anyway maybe unreasonable is the wrong word. Incoherently, illogically, counter-productively.. take your pick.

Well both CT and ND have so far proven to be unwilling to perform war-like actions, so the answer is really quite simple.

Re: Ascendancy ‘giving something back’
Nice try, ASC propaganda working over time here. U guyz rock with drawing attention away.
Sad thing is, that most likely lots of dumb asses will fall for it.
Cheers

Theyre the only worthy war opponents there is tho. Rest of the allys seems to wanna low profile it all the way in........
As for politics, if it went my way, we would brawl the **** out of each other And see who could take the most beating

Let us suppose they both hit ascendancy.

I have no doubt that if the clock ticks to 48 hours and neither alliance does anything to stop it, Ascendancy will carry out their threat to the letter, regardless of the outcome because they have nothing to lose here.
So ultimately, while hitting Ascendancy is certainly an option, it comes with the risk to being at the mercy of a poll on AD (needless to say, I am looking out for any kind of abuse to this poll) and ultimately losing. I mean, if you're hitting Ascendancy but losing in the poll, why would you not attempt to seek a settlement? If you're winning, why would you hit an alliance that ultimately, could help you kill off your opponent with ease?
Naturally, there are several permutations and having thought them through, the risks to either of not doing anything are certainly quite real. I'm amused to see how the HC of either alliance will react.
I have no preference for either for the record as my involvement in the round so far is minimal and it's not really for me to judge or determine how my alliance decides to behave. But like many in Ascendancy, I like a good social experiment, and this one seems as good as any.

By now I'd have thought people would have learned that annoying Ascendancy is rarely a good idea.

MaVerRiXX, please explain how asking people who we should hit draws attention away from us? Would you recommend we offer the option of us hitting ourselves as mz pointed out others were recommending earlier?
On a side note, looks like there is a contender with a healthy lead so far. I do so like having my decisions made for me.

Re: Ascendancy ‘giving something back’
Oh dear god, did you learn nothing at all from last round? Hitting asc will only make people more active and now you went ahead and did it anyway :/

YES!
I propose Asc split and reform as 2 BG(ish) sized allies. The members of each ally recruited either via Asc Draft Day, or a factional split. Once youve got your teams, you go forth and destroy, FUN. Asc gets what they want, fun, a propper style war and they dont have to deal with epic fail ND HC's.
I'll even offer my own services. I can picture it now, The JungleMuffin JackHammer's Vs Mz's Mongoloids.
So, when can you start?

Re: Ascendancy ‘giving something back’
Personally after tonights mass incs i dont mind who we hit but to be fair i think we should start with ND.
We all know when it comes to CT we just have to hit ronin and the rest of the ally is freeforalllll
