You're making the assumption that viable cabal equals cabal with massive numbers. I, for one, am prepared to see the cabal stand empty in periods where there are no qualified characters. I would rather have a single follower that I was proud of than a cabal full of people butchering the scarab philosophy and role. I don't remember your character specifically, but Ingvar was probably correct when he said you didn't exhibit the gumption to stick with your character. I see more Scarab wannabes defeat themselves than anything else. We're not going to give out a cabal/religion package after a single five minute chat.
> In my opinion, the Cult will die out as a cabal sometime in the future, much as shadow did even tho shadow was far more popular. The religion will continue of course, but it's members dwindle, how many are there now? What, 3-5 members that I can think of seeing in the last month, with only Ingvar showing regularly. Also, learning the religion, without some OOC knowledge it is difficult learn of it, the Sacraa is vague at best. With no members around to ask, and of those most not willing to help... how can you expect to learn of the religion. Even if they convice you to see the truth they still wont even take the time to explain it. At least in my experience.
