Well the stats dont lie. We would tell our partners we are going after the Number 1 offensive threat and try to shut them down, if you need help call us, and tell us when your ramp is deployed. In all reality, you got to make the best with what ya got, exploit weaknesses, and help your alliance. Everytime someone came to us trying to sell themselves to us for the finals, we told them "we will keep it in mind", and we would check our stats. I think the trick might be is finding a team player, we would never choose an alliance partner who would deviate from a strategy time and again. We asked teams about how well they worked with other teams to get a feel for how well they would work.
