The Fight Goes On

When one side or another in a conflict reaches its goal, the victors quickly lose cohesion, separating on some previously overlooked, ignored, or minor point unnecessary to consider in the previous battle. The new rift is now ready for exposure, giving energy to yet another engagement. All the while, new players enter the system, queuing up for their chance to enter independently or connect to one of the others. The need for some sort of contest--relevant or not--never seems to go away.
