I don't think you can say why groups or individuals do or don't do something like this, unless you are the Amazing Kreskin and can read their minds. To assume the existing groups were "scared" sounds like sour grapes on the part of the larger NPC.

Actually, in this particular situation, I know for a fact that competition was the reason that some groups voted the way they voted - this was on a campus that I advised. I didn't hear about this situation from the "sour grapes" larger NPC. So, while you are correct that this may not always be the case, in this one, it was. In my post you will see that I didn't say that "I assume" this was the reason - I said that it was.
Incidentally, that was almost 5 years ago and the new chapter is doing quite well.
