Uhm. In order to put up a fight, you need numbers. Otherwise you will keep on getting your asses kicked constantly over the board.

The interviews are easy. Read an extreme example of it above (Kosoq's comment). Manshoon rarely logs on, and when he does he's getting hammered. That's happened more often than not. He was on for 4 hours today (the only time he's been on this week) and guess what, he was fighting off Battleragers. Jeez. You guys need numbers!

Serafim at least had the sense to do an interview, induct someone, and leave. He had better numbers than Manshoon. Why is that? Because Serafim's ten times more competent as a player than Manshoon ever will be!

Very good. More mudslinging.

It's a fight either way. So Manshoon inducts people that enjoy getting their asses kicked? He says now that "Oh, we have no members, we're going to get our asses kicked all the time!" The Battle-Master war was legendary for being one of the most fun things on the mud during second and early third age. There is a place for militant Masters that fight.

How the fuck did you get in then? Because you could roleplay a sad ass necromancer?
If you cannot roleplay, you will not be allowed in Masters. (unless you can learn the lines and pass the interviews) Nothing will change this policy with Manshoon leading. And the Masters will suffer from low numbers.
So kick him out!

That question is so damn easy, it's sad. Clue in! Manshoon should be doing the interviews himself! Or someone else should! At least get back to the applicant and tell them when and how they should get into contact with you, instead of acting like a supposedly elite pack of shitheads who just get their asses kicked when they enter the realm.
> It's just the style of cabal you are attempting to get into.
Which has turned into a sad sack of cowards a lot like the Arcana Sect of Empire. Thanks, I'll pass on that until the leadership changes.
