> Those of you that are planning on rolling an Imperial, think twice about it. "You have been inducted into the Empire" does not mean "Don't roleplay, just gangbang." Surprisingly few people understand this. > The Empire SHOULD be the cabal with the most roleplaying and the most subtleties in the characters within. With the attitude of the current player base of the Empire cabal, it will never be as cool or as fun as it should be. The idea of the Empire isn't to get the most PKs, or to have the best equipment or to chat ooc with your buddies while summoning people to centurions. The idea of the Empire is intrigue. Political plotting, revenge, acting nice to people you hate to get ahead, getting people indebted to you, etc, etc etc... > Maybe I will try another Imperial in the future... I tried to lead by example, but the character just got boring and began to lose its point after the many deaths and being ignored.
