If the alliance wins, they're a member of that alliance, so they also win. But contributions to that blue banner vary, and it diminishes the work of, for example, 1st and 2nd bots to say that their backup bot who didn't play did just as much as they did and is just as deserving as they are. People need to be honest with themselves about this. need to be honest with themselves about this.

Sure, people should be honest with themselves, or not. I don't care. It's just not up to random strangers on the internet to tell them to be or to try to dictate their worth.
