Cabals today are full, yes full, of morons. I don't personally want to remove cabals, I just want them to be elitist. Full of people that know what they're doing and who can roleplay worth a poo. Just because you're not in a cabal doesn't mean you have to roleplay a pig farmer that spends all of his time on the range shoveling shit. Cabal membership should consist of those people that have displayed the ability to roleplay with the best of them. Playerkilling ability need not be a major factor unless the cabal wants it to be as such. CF has NO rewards for excellent roleplay. This comes from a relatively jaded point of view that IP means almost as RP when it comes to things such as cabal leadership, quest forms/skills, and so forth...but I digress. By establishing cabals to be a privelege(sp) and not a right, you better the game as people begin to work towards that goal. Nowadays every newbie with 2 hours of experience and the know-how to read the cabal helpfile can get into a cabal. Hell, he can probably lead the cabal if he's from a new IP that hasn't any blemishes on it...but I'm digressing again. I'm sickened by such things as going ooc over cb. I'm sickened by seeing such things as leaders going OOC in tells(see post by "Chuckling Bard" or whatever below). I work damn hard before I roll a char's stats to think of a role, backstory, and so forth. I feel as though it's all wasted when I see people who put zero thought into anything and still get into and/or lead cabals.
