I did get empowered. But after the interview, it was pretty clear that I was pretty much doomed.

Wait. You actually got empowered? In two days?

This sort of goes to show that maybe <I>you</I> were just not into your role. Now that's not a knock per se, all I mean is that it seems to me that if you wanted to make the role work and really put a lot of time in it, good things could still happen as you evolve your character. A lot of folks seem to think that this is a game where imms/cabal leaders/etc just interract with you in a positive fashion by default. This is rarely (if ever) the case in my experience.

When someone tells you in real life that you're not good enough at something you enjoy, do you usually just concede say, "Oh, okay, you're right, I better just quit". I know CF is just a silly game, but you get the point...there are some parallels.

(I would understand if you just didn't like Rayihn's personality and thought it would indeed be boring and lame...but from your subsequent posts I didn't get feeling that this was the case for you).
