[My take on (our) Neutrality]

There is a respect afforded those who stand on principle that is unattainable for those who do not.

[Hail the Heroes of Pacifica!]

However, you're quite right about the alliances not leaving before someone else was allowed to do the same. There were even more alliances than DT, LoSS and IAA who were not prepared to quit the field until someone else was allowed to do it first.

DT approached CSN asking for peace 6 (six) days after entering against Legacy. DT were quite prepared to hit and run, leaving LoSS to its fate. Their request was a white peace, not conditionally tied to anyone but DT getting out of anything. Hell, DT even offered to pay 40k reps to get out (if they could determine some of the method of payment) without tying it to LoSS or TIO getting out - before they renegged.

It seems the loyalty of DT is a little overstated.
