The cabal situation is all find and dandy but one
part. We need Shadow, or something Shadowish.

Why?

Well let's look at it.
Village, all alignments.
Sylvan, neutral and lightwalkers.
Dawn, lightwalkers.
Empire, evils.
Maran, lightwalkers
Scarab, evils.

Now, I left out a few because of the little use to
my argument. The cabals out now, have a pretty sizable
playerbase set in. Village fluxs with Empire. Dawn
always has a whole flock. Maran has got around two
active players to my knowledge, Scarabs might have
the same, but doubtful. Sylvans, a lot, and that's
about it.

When Shadow played in the game, it added the fear
of walking outside, stepping on people's toes, etc.
It added a factor that if you wanted to do something,
you better be sure of the consequences. Shadow was
nice because it put people on the edge of their seat,
it added roleplay+pk, and an element that no other
cabal could match.

You can fight that Shadow is alive, but honestly,
it's dead. The way it exists or existed now, is no
where the level of when it was a cabal.

I guess I just liked it when being "not-seen" was
so much easier than it is nowadays. Invisiblility
is WAY to easy to get, and there is way too many
ways to see it, etc. Oh well, the good ol days.
