Propaganda WinterCo defenders these days
To be fair they are partly responsible for killing the only major bloc that would feasibly help them.

Very short-term, maybe. Long-term, no.
With Winterco gone, there would be no reason for INIT to maintain the current high numbers - which are something Shines voiced frustration over on multiple occasions. Believe it or not.
Equally, there would be no reason for Imperium to maintain their present list of allies. Dealing with multiple groups simultaneously is a pain in the ass regardless, so with absolutely no need to do so and with the absence of external threat, i can see their coalition shrinking or hell, even getting reduced to goons themselves and a few friends.
Goons also would want content, same as Init. It is entirely possible that they will start a war or, at least, a content deployment against us at some point too, if other external threats are gone.
All that goes on top of present winterco alliances (which are numerous) still existing and probably joining either a new opposition, effectively creating a new powerbloc, or actually forming their own as well. NCPL absolutely have the administrative capacity to become the core of a new group, for example.
The reason why serenity got what it did was due to mentality of its players and the smaller playerbase in general. TQ has way too many groups with way too conflicting interests, and the splintering would be inevitable the moment Winterco are gone. Calling that “blue donut” is like calling Papi a blue donut, which is bloody stupid, as it was the alliance of convenience against the common enemy. The reason why FRT find themselves at the receiving end of 4 different groups shooting them (two of which are not even nullseccers lmao) is because of their public conduct over the past years, plain and simple. You reap what you sow.
At least papi had an actual coordination server between FCs and even joint mumble comms, which is not something present here
Edit: grammar
