> Should I be trying to group my imperial with ragers and scarabs to rank to cut down on the time i group with imperials ( which is against the rules of some sects now.) Let me guess, you decided to post this smart-ass question because you really wanted a helpful answer, right? > I personnally don't think a group of people who know each other joing the same cabal and plating around the same time is that big a deal. Whether you agree with the rules or not is your perrogative. Whether you are punished for adhering to them or not is our perrogative. If you happen to join up with the same people a few times, that's fine. If you have a tendency to all log in at the same time, group up, and log out at the same times, then there's a problem. Am I going to write right here exactly what is acceptable and what isn't? No. > It is much preferable to people in different cabals or playing independent characters sharing info with people ooc they would never be able to ic. How about trying to play independant characters that don't share ooc info? If you sit and play cards with some friends, is it a great effort not to cheat by sending signals, etc? If so, then you have a morality question to face, not a CF question. > Say you have a member of another cabal telling his friends where certain members are or what not, especially if using a char they dont particuarlly care about. Then that's a useless character that's cheating and should be denied. > In the same cabal at least you would be sharing info you would be anyway and pursuing similar goals. Is that the only way you and your friends can adhere to rules? > The nature of joining a cabal itself should lessen the effects of permagrouping because of the constraints placed on a char by the cabal. That's called an excuse, but not an excusable reason. > The ones to worry about are the groups of three non caballed chars who are never apart and really do nothing for anyone besides kill whoever they see. Other than aggressive concerns, there are also safety concerns. If you don't understand what I mean by this, I can explain it.
