In a comparison between TV and CF, CF wins hands down. They are both completely unproductive recreational activities but the big difference is the interactive nature of CF. This forces players to use there mind.(This however makes the assumption that all players have a mind.) There are also the various philosophies of cabals, and believe it or not they have parallels in the real world. It sorta like old episodes or Star Trek, there is moral here. Whether its the decadent cult, the ultra-radical treehugging greenpeace sylvans, or the Imperial power of civilization, every cabal has a similar movement in real life or history. Playing this game is actually an amusing and interesting way of playing out a broad spectrum of possibilities for radical positions.
