I can think of at least one good reason: escalation breeds escalation. That's how the last war got out of hand.

Well, as I see it, if you do not want escalation, you should not have declared war in the first place. The whole point of confederations is that an alliance helps another alliance in case war is declared on them.

Shark is significantly larger than SIN, so it's understanding why SIN would do that before the war declaration. SIN was able to reorganize to increase their numbers because they're not as large whereas Shark does not have to(They could of had members from VIC just to fill up few the remaining spaces, but they rather have the whole alliance involved as it goes to show). Again, having VIC join in on the havoc clearly shows that Shark fears that they won't be able to defend their territories without even more firepower than they already have available. So in a way, it was a 1 on 1 that was declined.  

Well Jax since you are in VIC and know their reason's for joining the war please share them.  Oh that's right you aren't so you have no idea why they did or anything to do with it.

So far Sin has capitalized on its chances. Totally took Shark by surprise. With the declaration of war Vic has made only proves that the BL is the elgeans next frontier.

that sounds like you're choosing SIN over VIC and Shark? That neutrality you were talking about earlier didn't last very long then.

It seems that you have trouble with reading comprehension binky, it was made abundantly clear that we are neutral in the sense we don't accept confeds.

I see yet another example of pile on warfare. Which I have a problem with, thus my comments.

Since SIN is declaring on Elgean alliances with a presence in BL it makes sense that they would go after VIC eventually, so why shouldn't they declare on SIN when they choose to?
