I suppose if everyone in that cabal is content to just attack certian people out of a certian group there is no point in really arguing.
I for one do think it is more for OOC reasons than in character reason. Everything from a roleplaying side would say a rager would not stand for such a thing. To me a cabal is just the same as grouping with a mage if not worse. Cabalmates or SECmates (in empires case tend) to help eachother more than a group of three random people on a ranking trip. If I am wrong, I guess I really no nothing about cabals or CF, but I am pretty sure I am right. That leads to to the OOC reasons for not fighting eachother. They do not want to make things hard on themselves. Yes, fighting everyone in Thera that allows mages in their cabal is a challenege. Yes it would be hard. Yes you would die alot, but cabals are about challenges. I would respect that more than the "status quo" of now days. Ragers are no long the half-ass cabal they once were. They have better powers, they have more members, and they have pretty good players (some are idiots, but most are good). There is no reason they should live in the past. Back in the old days, yes, it would have been stupid for those one or two ragers to declare war on every mage allowing cabal, but now, I think they could kick some serious ass. They would have their down times, like Empire, but when in enforce, they would kick ass.
