1. Internal disorder. The peace with DIGG was hotly contested, and it has not simmered since. Xianth has emerged as the new leadership figure, but DyersGoodness had a noteworthy following and his loyalists are discontent with Xianth's direction.
2. Efforts to re-organize into "cells" (everyone seems to do this when they lose a war...) are underway. Being delayed by internal bickering.
3. There are high-level talks about Phoenix and FOIMP merging. While FOIMP views it as a balance against Pantheon, Xianth is driving it as a welcome revitalization to refocus Phoenix and serve as a "distraction" from the internal situation that has not sorted itself out for many weeks now.
4. Many of the DyersGoodness loyalists have been continuing talks of leaving Phoenix - destination unknown, and as of yet, no signs it is not more than simply disgruntled threats.

PERSONAL ANALYSIS: NOT FROM DIRECT SOURCES
1. They will not continue on their current course. Their internal discord/instability makes a merger/reformation inevitable on a timeline to be measured in days/weeks and not months.
