[Cthulhu_]

All's fair in love and Eve, :p.

In a case like this, it seems the non-SA folk got fed up and ganged up on them. As it should be. No dominant force can remain dominant; if they piss off enough folk, either by being evil or just by owning all the things, said folk will band together and take them on.

And that's one part I love about Eve (despite not playing it); the dynamic and self-organizing nature of the universe and its market.
