In Reply to: The real question here, which is being ignored, is 'Should Sylvan really HAVE anything resembling a deathsquad?' n/t posted by Macheath(VIP) on November 22, 2000 at 08:14:37:
I thought not. I also thought I could change the Cabal, but I changed it for the blink of an eye at best. There's a hell of a lot of forest out there, that is never trod on by most Sylvans. The odd thing about the Sylvan Cabal, is while a good potion of them are bloodthirsty fiends, all of them are quality roleplayers. So it's kind of hard to crack down on them. And yes, Asihara, there are deathsquads. There is no argument there. I however, have solutions... 1) Sylvan Shamans will lose the supplication summon. You want to be a Sylvan shaman because of your role? Prove it. 2) Insect swarm will work only in the wilderness. 3) Wall of Thorns can be called once every 72 hours. 4) Induction standards must be much higher. I take This is by no means meant to knock any Sylvan. They take advantage of what they have, pure and simple, nothing wrong with that. However, I've always thought, next to Troupe, and in certain cases, even above Troupe, Sylvan should be the Elite roleplaying Cabal. PK should run a distant second. As of now it doesn't. Please don't bother arguing that point, I support the Sylvan Cabal as much as anyone, but it's something that I think everyone, if honest with themselves, will see as fact.
some blame for letting some in I shouldn't have.
