I tend to enjoy playing leadership True, there are plenty of valid reasons to take off from CF for a length of time. If you are a leader, especially in a cabal where you are the only one who can induct, extended lengths should be explained to the general populace. Maybe a note on the forum? We're all here to have fun, no one will argue that. We're playing a game that requires you (being the hypothetical leader) and me (being the hypothetical applicant) to play together. In what other game would you think it acceptable to say "OK, now I know it's my move, turn, whatever, but I'm going to vanish for an unknown time so just hold the game right where we are right here and don't move" and then not come back for 5 days? Listen i hate bothering leaders of cabals, but they're on so damn infreuqently often that the only way to make sure they don't dissappear for 5 days again before talking to you is to pester them. The compact of Cf is "You show up and move the induction process along and I won't run to another cabal that will induct me, or pester you every minute you are on to induct me." This game isn't about one person. (Well not since Istendil, anyway.) If you plan on taking 5 days off, write a note on the forum saying that. Then at least we know what's up. Or is your time off more important then the time 5 people are spending frustrated because they can't find the leader? If they knew you wouldn't be on, at least they would be able to take a break, also.

I assumed he meant the Emperor until I saw this defense. Feeling a bit attacked are we?
