I'm glad someone else pointed out the distinction so I didn't have to.

If you're confident your alliance can triple, you're gonna go for the triple. If you're not, you find some other way to keep yourselves on the map.
As Siri aptly asked, does one way of "keeping yourself on the map" include appropriately-applied blocking defense to disrupt the attempt? I would ask the IRI folks to clarify this as an important aspect of the game.
