Well stop making inflammatory comments about things you don't understand and I'm sure we will. And to clarify, they haven't been together a long time, the server is only a couple of weeks old.
Look, it's like this, most people who join a new server (unless they're joining in a premade) end up joining an alliance purely because of geographical location within the world. sometimes they find they're in an alliance that doesn't suit them, personally I don't like democracies, they take forever to make decisions because everybody has to have their say and then there's a vote and it just takes too damn long to progress, by the time they've reached a decision half the alliance has been conquered and rimmed.
So if I find myself in an alliance where that is the case, I find another alliance with a clear command structure and a leader/council I trust. It's always the same early on in a server, people change alliances until they find one that suits. Don't get me wrong, if you've been in an alliance for 6 months and you jump because you find you're losing that IS dishonourable, you should stand and take your rimming along with the other members you've been working hard with, but early on when the alliance hasn't been together long enough to earn your loyalty, you jump, end of.
