Well, I'll give you this, I didn't post below, so technically you could be right in saying all the whines are from rager whelps. However, as a past leader, past rager, and current mage (hopefully master)... with a good deal of experience in the game, as well as a fleshed out philosophy of leadership and roleplaying, I'll say this: his note, reqs, and methods, are crap. They're right. If he doesn't want to be the primary inductor - and let's face it: on CF leader means inductor and interviewer - then he doesn't want to be leader. He's just being lazy, basically. Yes, being a leader is a bitch. No, you're not forced into it. Ever. Five recommendations is stupid, for the reasons Imbrog gave, and those skill reqs are stupid for those and other reasons. Botting/time wasting means nothing. Hell, recommendations don't mean much. Remember Milto? Anyone? Would you believe even he eventually would've had these reqs down? Well, he would've, which proves my point. The only way for a leader to 'go for quality not quantity' (in his own slaphanded, basically ooc words) is to be very personally involved and observe, and not be afraid to uninduct. This guy, whoever the fuck he is or has been, is just being a crap leader insofar as he's going to squash his cabal for no reason.
