*sniff* I know I sucked, but you still could of at least answered me :P > As to what I said about tattoos, I'll let someone else point you to that post...since I've said a lot about them in various posts...anyway..to answer your question (as broad as it is) I'm going to seperate it a little and give answers that, while not as vauge as the gnomish guru Nepenthe...might be a little overly simplistic. > Basically, I think with just about any cabal leadership position there are 3 main factors: hehehe, even Imms make mistakes -Sermak

> 1) CABAL LEADERS:
> availability: do you have the time to be around to truely lead the cabal? Are you around enough to keep applicants inducted, and to really be known by the cabal members? Are you willing to stick it out in tough times, and truely be a leader?
> skill: this doesn't mean what some of you think it means. Is/has your character played the role both defined by cabal and by self up to the level needed to be an example to others? Are you consistant in your roleplay? (and with some cabals..ie: Battle and Empire) Can you convincingly stay alive and thwart your foes?
> knowledge: obviously if you don't understand the basics of your cabal, you're not going to be leading it. Also factored into this is how well can you (to some degree, and also not relevant to all cabals) teach newer members about your cabal policies, and whatever. A lot of times, cabals turn and shift greatly within thier guidelines when a strong leader is at the helm...and that change can (at times) have long lasting impact on the cabal.
