"SOOO mysterious"
"the only way to be a scarab is to try to not be a scarab"
"you're too stupid and lazy to understand"
"try to find out in game"
"80 hours of essay writing, reading, and research isn't enough to understand the depth of Scarab"
"If you think you know scarab, you dont"


Lol? You're so fucking full of shit it's not even funny. Go ahead and pretend that elitism is good for any game. Also you're being elitist about something very shallow and stupid. IT's not cool. Basically Scarab can be explained in about 5 minutes of reading about satanism on wikipedia. It's 100% more clear than the bullshit info in game. Also, if you want to join ANY cabal, ask someone OOC in discord and they'll give you the real info you actually need.. This wild goose chase wasting everyone's mind trying to pretend that 100s of hours of wasted time is "fun"... meh. FUck you guys. I used to think that all the curtains and smoke was intriguing, and that it'd be fun to go through the process. In the end, it's all just gatekeeping by neckbeards who have absolutely nothing to offer, and are more concerned with their own elitism.

Player A has played for 20 years and has been leader of CABAL X.

Player B has played for 1 year, and is trying to get into CABAL X.

Player A has been around for decades, and has seen every historical moment of Cabal X from the inside. He asks for an interview, and knows more about the cabal than the interviewee. Player A gets in immediately, and cabal powers, imm praise, and edgepoints.

Player B reads the helpfiles and tries to apply but doesn't know all of the correct answers that the interviewer wants. He's sent on a wild goose chase involving lyceum, essay writing, or some other grindy quest involving dozens of hours. He comes back to the interviewer again, but the interviewer shits on the applicant again because he doesn't know "exactly" how the cabal works. Sends him off for another dozen or so hours with minimal effort to educate. Meanwhile player B has no cabal, no cabal powers, no friends, and trying to solo it. Player A at this point is receiving edgepoints, extra kills, using the cabal to get better gear, and is now deck out with good gear, better edges, better powers, and is ganking player B with his cabal mates while receiving imm praise. If player B ever gets into the cabal he's late to the show, probably low on con, and enthusiasm. And here's the kicker.. The imms hate underdogs. Player B got shit on by the cabal leader already. Imms will ignore and not reward this kind of player.

I encourage EVERYONE in player B's situation to log onto discord, and ask the players how to get into the cabal you want. Ask the players how to play the game. Honest to god, you don't need to spend 100 hours being SHIT upon by the elites and immstaff just to learn this "magic bullshit" everyone is talking about. That's not how gaming should work.
