It's quite possible that the other org's don't want to or can't participate. I know that our grad advisor would NEVER have let us participate in something that wasn't with a member of the Divine Nine. They would have been out of her experience and suspect so it was out of the question, lol.

It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers.
