> Well, I pretty much read all the posts from my log I posted. Got some good responces and some "fuck you whiner!" How can things change if you do not whine about it :). Look at nightgaunts. The whole point of it was to generate some talk about the current cabal alliances. It was aimed at ragers because one, I wanted to show that stuff like this cannot be changed in game, I tried for a long time with several characters. Two, I think it is really bad that ragers are so friendly with a group that allows mages ( it just strikes a nerve with me when you consider all those ragers and all those powers). I do think, if it is going to change it will have to be done by the immortals at the same time. Otherwise, the side that does it first will be left in the crapper.

> No cabal is really friends with another cabal. This does not mean you are in all out war with every cabal. For example, Masters and Empire can have an agreement they will not take each others items. However, they will attack each other if they see each other. They can maybe agree that they will not travel into the areas outside each others cabals nor will they go into each others cabal and summon. If both their items are held by a foe, they can group to take it back, but once it is back, they will ungroup. They will not work together to take the foes item. They are a cabal, they should not need to work with others to do so, they have their own views on how stuff should be done. Empire is supposed to be strong, and masters should have more important things to do, like study. If they are being raided, neither will come to each others aid, even if it means a foe gets their item back or they may in turn lose their item. Master rely on magic not empire to defend the tower. Empire accepts help from no one.

> All and all, you must admit it is pretty damn sad when warders and ragers tag team someone and masters and Empire go around in one big happy familiy, when every thing written on the throne room floor says you will not help anyone outside your SEC and esp if they are not bloodoathed. Same can be said about ragers helping aid mages indirectly, it is sad.

> I know my way is not perfect, but I do think it would work better than the current cabal system. I will pretty much stop posting on the forum about this subject, I think I beat it to death. If you say I am whining and cannot provide any better improvement, maybe I won't shut up.
