To be fair, TIS turned their backs on LaF after the first FULL SLIT war in EC.
After that point, LaF's involvement in SLIT was tangential and our efforts were focused on a 1v1 war with Rival, which was green lighted by all of TIS despite Rival having pacted us.
I personally always felt that the decision not to get involved in fighting with IX/SoL or TIE as SLIT broke up was more of us saying "you guys both screwed us, we don't want to help either of you." We had just spent 5 months fighting a guerrilla war... why would we jump back into bed with any of the alliances who were cool with us being driven from the game?
But that was just my personal opinion... The opinion of LaF may differ :p
But that is one of the things that pisses me off the most about SLIT... the goal for some of the people who lead the alliances in SLIT was not just to win the war, it was to obliterate and humiliate the enemy, driving away their membership so that SLIT would "win the game." This was put into practice moreso later with the "pactless" strategies and perpetual war against people who don't want to fight.
LaF never subscribed to that theory, but it's a theory that has dominated server wars for the last several years.
