Now is not the time to be a Master or Empire. It seems like every time I'm in the realm, there's 6-8 battleragers (at least), and the numbers just keep growing. Barsimmon, do you induct every two-bit moron just to give them a chance, just so you have Imperial numbers with deathblows? Really, every time the Masters have the item, they don't have it for long, since the Battleragers take it every night. The Masters retake it. The Battleragers raid for the Orb again (I mean, who's going to stop 5 40's-hero rager berserker whatevers from raiding you? Surely not 1 or 2 40th level Masters, who barely have time to prepare. Master has its gems (Rendak the most obvious of the player-killers, and a couple really good roleplayers, Shenara included among the regular people that show) that contribute to the cabal as a whole. It isn't fun, though, when you're constantly overwhelmed by Battleragers at a 4-1/6-1 ratio. Thanks, any comments encouraged on this.
