Many cabals have a number of different enemies (arbiters, masters, sylvans, and battle too). While not a particular arch-nemesis, Arbiters are definitely on the other side of coin from battle. The fact that ragers can't be lawful also says something. > > 1. It's easy to see your opposing cabal as a "schoolyard bully." Roleplaying is often limited by necessity between opposing cabals. > You pretty much made my point right there. While Batttle-Arbiter relationships were never exactly stellar, Arbiter and Battle really arn't opposing cabals in the ideological sence as say Master-Battle or Sylvan-Empire, but a conflict has sprung up relativly recently because of a mentality where targets are chosen based on ease of slaying and lack of reprisal, not RP. > Now obviously, common sence prevails and I won't fault a Rager for wacking an Arbie trannie as opposed to soloing Zorzual or that group of 5 Masters on a recovery raid. What bothers me, as posted below, is my perception that Arbiter warriors, assassins, and commuers are higher on the "to kill list" than Sylvan mages. > Again, this is just my perception.
