It is not difficult for others to utilize a Nexan's help in retrieving your item when the odds are against your side in global scale. During these short alliances, the members of the other cabal can try to sway the Nexan to be more sympathetic to their cause and generally less aggressive when their side holds the sway over Balance.
It is written in the cabal that Nexans help to retrieve when balance is lightly tipping and raid for the other cabal's item when the balance is heavily tipping. It is not written in the Nexus dogma at which point Nexans start attacking the PCs that represent the overdog alignment/ethos. This is something varies wildly between individual Nexans and this is something interactions with the members of other cabals can affect with their own behaviour. Gnuff reserved this kind of extreme measure for the times when balance was tipping heavily, while some others would attack when the balance tips lightly.
Those who haven't played Nexus don't really understand how rare it is for balance to tip heavily in favour of one ethos/align. In Gnuff's lifetime, this kind of tipping happened only once or twice. People who haven't played Nexus do not have as good perspective as others on how rare this kind of heavy tipping of Balance is. If you look at Cabal wars statistics, you can see that Nexus doesn't take the items of Cabals not Battle often.
It is obvious that Nexans cannot maintain the balance well by flipflopping between being good and evil. Nexus isn't either, and Nexans are generally always less hostile towards your overdog than your true enemies. For this reason, I find it difficult to understand why some people will adamantly keep beating the straw man they have constructed based on their oversimplified, black and white view of the world. Nexans aren't good/evil flip-flops they are neutral. This means a Nexan is the same neutral guy that acts the same way he usually does, only the duties for maintaining Balance change. I think that these people should try to play Nexus and make the best RP sense out of it before making their everyone's enemy comments. There are many ways one can play a Nexan.
