Although it hasn't been by design, the typical Cultist seems to have "lone wolf syndrome" written all over them. Those that have joined the Cult and thought it'd be a big, happy, Scarab family have been disappointed, and probably shouldn't have made it through the screening process in the first place. It's a tough role to take and yes, a lot of the odds are against you in taking it.
It may not be design, but it IS a side-effect of the mentality of a Scarabite. CF is a place where many people enjoy being in cabals and Scarabites tend not to like Arbiters, Ragers, Sylvans, Dawnies, Imperials, and depending on the person even Barons and Masters. So what happens is a Scarabite finds it hard to rank unless they're ooc buds which is likely what happened during the Tikich/Matraien et al. time-period.
