DE have been babysat by SCI for the majority of its existence. Kidum and Derekang's close friendship in the early days made sure of that...
But really, why should this be any different?
I'd wager that the alliance between this new =RS= thing and the SCI family is still going on. And if, for a show of independence, this is now the case, then certainly RS is still suckling at it's mothertribe's teet.
At least, those were my initial thoughts...
SCIR0S (And the rest of the family?) is going up against R2-TRU, who are proving to be a very formidable opponent (Then again, any formidable opponent to a SCI tribe is one that doesn't run at the first sign of danger). It's unlike SCI to split its efforts against two tribes, especially two strong ones like R2-TRU and V V V. Also, remembering that SCIR0N has fallen recently and lost SCI a lot of ground makes this all the more unlikely.
An unusual amount of strain for SCI to be deliberately putting on themselves.
As I'm not ingame anymore, sadly I'm unable to determine the truth behind the split, only make assumptions based on what I knew beforehand. Ah well, just have to wait and see ^_^
