I realize this person was a hardcore newbie. Likely a hardcore newbie who had a CF-playing friend who wrote out their role or background for them to use as a guideline. I'm sure they could've managed just fine, but they decided to go and apply for a cabal.

Folks, cut-and-paste is not your friend when interviewing.

Why did I post this now?

According to some forum logs I just read, this person was actually inducted by a later leader. I thought when I read the log "No, that couldn't be...." So I had to break out my old logs and check. And sure enough....
