> > First of all if you do not want to be war master then what the hell are you doing in the Empire? From a roleplaying standpoint all you should want when you are in the Empire is to raise your own status within the organization. Are you serious? Are you Ill? Of course everyone who is a blade wants to be War Master! Second of all I truly think that the selection of council thisi time and last time was random. The first people from each sect who logged on when Lord Z said "time for a council" got it. I tell you I was in the realms but someone else when Aradan came on and was instantly made high priest. Then I saw Simka come on and get war master right away. I can not tell you about the power of the tempation of dumping my group and logging on Ellokraine was, but that is piss poor rp. So Akivasha is the next Black to log on and what happens? He gets Dreadlord. I hope that I am dead wrong in this. This is just what it seems to me. Because I logged on recently and saw three of the four council selected, the first citizen from each sect in the realm after Lord Z logged on, getting a coucil seat. If I am wrong and/or an Idiot please lemme have it Zulghinlour. I have always been playing Imperials and truly enjoy it, but I for one am sure puzzled about what the hell is going on.

> As for the idiot who thinks that I'm giving my friends positions in the Empire, you sir, can kindly go fuck yourself. If you honestly think I would cheat, inform the implementors. This is not the first, and I'll wager, not the last time that someone who is not a hero, nor even half way there was given a Council Seat. In times when rebuilding is necessary, the young do it far better than the old, bored hero.
Let me begin of course by broadening my earlier statement. I thought all the council chosen when I was arvaxus did very well. I never criticized their performance. i will say though, Akivasha, that i did the play all night mostly alone thing more than once before you were a citizen :P I am also not criticizing the current council, mostly because for the first time in all the time I have played Cf i do not have a character who is either a bloodoath or a citizen. Although I am working to correct that. So I can not speak about the new council. I am glad I was mistaken about Zulghinour maybe selling out to Pico for some fun with the Empire. Maybe it was a wierd coincidence, or even that I was mistaken about when people came into the realms. If I did not like playing Empire or trying to get to be a sect leader (gonna get emporer one day too dammmit!) then I would roll up something else. Thanks for taking the time to answer me Zulghinlour, and evryone else with something thoughtful to say.
