So curiosity question... I've been trying to invite this empire to join my federation. I won an ideology war over them. This is pretty much how I got the other members of my federation. Only this time 3 out of 4 members votes no on the new empire joining in. I keep watching to see if they changed their attitude over a couple of years. Nothing, 3 of them still rejecting, and then all of the sudden, the one member that does approve the joining asked me if they can invite that empire to join in, which of course I approve... and now the other 3 that's been rejecting also approved... what's up with that? How could my invitation be different from that one member?
