While what you say may be true, I think battle should be thanking Agorinth for putting them where they are today. Think about that and you'll understand. N/T

In Reply to: Why Nesam is the best Cabal leader Thera has seen so far. posted by widowson on October 06, 1999 at 06:43:35:

> 1. He hasn't fucked up.

> Most people, when handed a healthy cabal, slack off being secure in their strength.

> 2. He got rid of all the inane, time-wasting, stupid requirements.

> Anybody who's played CF for a while knows that your skills will be fine if you tank while you rank and PK with medium or heavy intensity. Trashing the skill requirements for battle was an excellent idea.

> Also, the induction requirements are perfect and simple. You get one reccommendation from a hero, for quality control and to take some of the work off of him, and he speaks to you. No stupid old school Master-like item quests, long essays, or multiple Knight-like interviews and reccommendations needed.

> 3. HE ACTUALLY SHOWS UP WHEN MOST PEOPLE PLAY AND INDUCTS

> While this may seem like common sence, one must only remember past leaders, expecially Knights, who rarely showed up and when they did, usually at some un-godly hour of the night, and gave you the usual "I'm too busy to talk to you." crap.

> 4. He tells people to go rank.

> There's an old chineese proverb concerning leadership: "When the best leaders are dead, people will say, we did it ourselves."

> The strength of a Cabal is NOT only it's leader, you're not superman, or G-d for that matter. One must only look at Empire and notice how soon it went to shit when Istendil left.

> The strength of a cabal is A LARGE AND WELL TRAINED MEMBERSHIP, NOT A LEADER WITH PERFECT EQ. Instead of being a greedy little asshole and getting that bracer of godly might to get that extra +4/+4, you do your cabal more good by taking the time it would of taken you to get that bracer, and inducting a couple people or just guarding the village so others can rank to Hero.

> This way, when you leave Thera, you leave behind a healthy cabal with several heroes who can do interviews in your absence, keep your item, ect. By putting forth a little effort and sacrifice now, you actually save work for yourself in the long run.

> While I personally don't like the RP hook of ragers, (liking return potions too much) Nesam has done the best job of an Cabal leader to date. He's built upon the strength Thror built, made wise decisions concerning membership requirements, delegated authority so he's not swamped, and made Battle the strongest I have ever seen in Thera.

> Good job, Nesam. Other Cabal leaders, and some Immortals, should learn by your example.
