> I though for a second there you were going to include the 2 week wait to find the leader. The wait and find the one master you were speaking to for 6 days so you can finish your interview just to be told to go look in the Lyceum so you can spout that back instead of, god forbid, using your own theories of magic that are just a little bit different from what some trouper wrote down. The 18 "I don't have time right now" tells from Lord Adepts and the second two week wait for the Leader.

The most agravating thing about four of the cabals in general is the stifling of roleplaying that the rote responses required to gain entrance engenders. Having said that, maybe this litmus test is needed to keep them "special". But it is annoying to be talking with someone that would sooner die than entertain something not in the script. How more rote can you get than cut and paste from notepad anyway? Not that there's anything wrong with that. :P
I await PB's vicious defense of the "cabals" with glee.
