I rather call it a way to buy time untill another Sci trie would get close. I mentioned lnog ago that Sci killed Sciron. This was because like half of the world went Sci. So everyone would have declared war sooner or later.
The main reason we warred Sciron was because I didn't like a certain guy there and secoundly our guys wanted a side war.
After that several reasons made themself etc, when Sciros merged with the south then Sciron wasn't allowed to live. I can make numerous of reasons but that time is something I don't have.:/
