Obviously, omni includes omni, clan, and neutral by definition. If we follow your example, Lazy, then there is only 1 faction in the game and no one has even bothered fighting each other because Omni, by definition, means all.
You guys really do not understand what neutral means in respect to Anarchy Online, so I will attempt to help illustrate it as I understand it.
CLAN <------------------------Neutral-------------------------->OMNI
Get it now? It has nothing to do with not being involved in the combat, it has to do with their position in regards to the other factions. Neutrals are simply those in the middle, it has nothing to do with their actions, or if you have not noticed neutral players in AO can play however they want, and as close to the omni or clan faction as they like without actually being part of those two factions.
Being stuck on the definition of neutral is just ignorant.
