Why are you participating in Ascension?

If your goal was to help raise Choros, congratulations, you achieved your victory.

If your goal was not to raise Choros but to prevent Ixion, I don't know how to say this properly, but I believe you are playing the game wrong. It isn't on me to dictate how someone or anyone plays the game, and I am not quite sure how to articulate exactly the thoughts of why I think you are playing a game first that has a competitive nature second wrong, but I will do my best.

We are not here playing for money, we are not here playing for keeps. We are here to entertain ourselves and have fun as a group. The only investment you have made in this is your time, no one has invested money/time into seeing you succeed. No one has fans cheering them on in a stadium, no one has fans betting $50 riding on your free throws, no one has any reason to deny someone from achieving their goal outside of you achieving that same goal. If you are both going for something, and it only one person gets it, by all means, go all out. If your goal was to prevent someone from doing something that does nothing for you, I am not sure the best way to put it, but you may not be a nice person.

I'll call a spade a spade, and sometimes it takes a jackass to point one out: a lot of you are being a huge jackass to your own teammate.

If you want to take anything from this moment, just be nicer to each other, including friends, sometimes you are not sure how much your voice and/or silence hurts those close to you.
