I realised that there are a lot of new people playing CF. I remembered when I was a newbie then and being a Cabal member seems so fun. But being young, I don't know how to get into one and answer the questions. Even if I had thot out a good character, I failed in my experience. I remember one interview I had : the leader asked where the Entropy Cabal was. Being new, I don't know. It's not his fault for asking, but neither is mine too. Anyway, it was not weighted against me. That leader was a fanatastic person who made me feel at ease. Here's some advice for newbies : For leaders of cabals : Of course there are those who just wanna get the benefits and not RP... Jack's 2 cents of advice. :)
Join the empire. They don't have strong RP but they make up in numbers. You learn a whole new experience like the workings of other cabals and try to go raiding often.
Try to understand the young players position and make them feel at ease with you. When an immortal (Pico) spoke to me once, I actually quivered on my keyboard. I felt I didn't want to blow things up with him, but he made me so at ease and funny that I just relaxed.
