Well played, sir. Lets define downfall though, shall we?

down·fall
ˈdounˌfôl/
noun
a loss of power, prosperity, or status.

Has Rampage lost:

Power: Check (Hokushin executes a FLURRY of petitions. Hokushin misses.)
Prosperity: Check (Needs an alliance to continue competing)
Status : Check (No longer the definite Number One)

Now lets define Ascension:

as·cen·sion
əˈsen(t)SH(ə)n/
noun
the act of rising to an important position or a higher level.

Has Forsaken risen:

To an important position: Check (Our very own Hitler video signifying rustled jimmies)
To a higher level: Check: (Sleepers mobs slain, Vulak'Aerr dead)

All in good fun, this game would suck without competition! Merry Christmas my Rampage pals, see ya on the battlefield!
