I assure you that Ingvar is my own creation. No OOC info. No special favors. No DIKU/SMUG/whatever crap. No help at all. He's the first character I ever tried to get in to the Cult. It's possible. You just weren't up to the task, from what I saw. You'd hit a hurdle, and disappear where you should have persevered. Shinkoujinei liked to test applicants' desire. You didn't pass. Don't imply things that you can't verify.
The Cult is not easy to get into. There is no established archetype, like there is for certain other cabals. It takes creativity, confidence, and the willingness to take chances. But to imply that the best way to do it is to cheat offends the people who work their asses off for their RPing.

> Hmm, well lets see.. what of all the little clans that form up, the aussies, Diku, FTA, probably more, from what I have heard, from individuals of some of these groups, thru ICQ and other means, there is a great wealth of knowledge to be learned. Hey, my buddy just got into Scarab, i think I want in too, ICQ him, hey bud give me the low down on how to get into the Cult.... information passes, two days later there is a fresh new initiate while I am still spending weeks talking to the voice learning while he got all his info in an hour, found the voice spewed forth the info he learned and got in.
