When are we going to be able to view cabal info on keepers in the motd? |

i think possibly the reason why keepers are not on motd is because one of their functions is to target the most active non-keepers cabal and the easiest way to tell who's on top activity-wise is by using that "cold grip of shadows" or whatever line at the bottom of motd.
i don't see the harm in adding [Keepers] x members, y applicants leader: Hrimoyan other than that though. |

would be nice for keepers to be on motd. motd is sort of like free advertising for cabals for all the new/lowbies logging in. |

I don't think it's most active, I think it's supposed to be most powerful, which is decided based on pks. |

Its dependant on most spent online + highest rating.
Anyway, why not add keepers and if they are dominant, use a message like:
'Thera is in a perfect balance.'
or 'The equilibrium spreads throughout the Thera.'
or whatever:P You imagine:P |

I am actually not happy about showing cabal hours - feels like players are analyzing it more for signs of mud-decline than as a scoreboard. Depressing shit. Same with membership sizes. Its not really helped with the original intent, which was to allow people organise themselves into opposing cabals instead of bandwagoning... if anything it seems to make it worse. I think I preferred speculation about who's strongest instead of trying to put a number on it. Same goes for having the [LEGION] flag visible - the mystique of it feels kinda ruined, and its more video-gamey because of it. Although there was disadvantages to not showing it that were worse in that case. In this case, there isn't really a problem by not showing Keepers. I guarantee no matter what cabal youwant to join, there's room for you. |

There was nothing wrong with not having legion members marked. It made you wonder who was in it and if you weren't sure you'd have to raid and see who comes to kick your ass.
Can't you just take that out of the motd? |

Now's a good time to make changes to Legion flags/motd. I kicked all the lazy bastards out. |

Olyn, I like you. You don't take that lazy bullshit. That's an immortal leader. You don't please him, you get the boot. I agree whole heartedly with your decision. I hope it sends better quality your way. If it's for personal reasons they can't be here, then I kind of understand, but enough was enough and I couldn't agree more. Kudos, Olyn. |

The issue with kicking inactive members is that it thins the numbers, some times greatly. A cabal with 2 or 3 people is going to get raped and spend a while getting kicked around until it gets a lucky surge. This only promotes the vicious cycle the cabals have fell victim to. A good leader will promote and inspire activity in the cabal so there isn't a need for kicks. |

Erlwith shut up. The Legion cabal was the dominate cabal for a long time and slowly they stopped showing up and for a whole month the only time you saw one was for about 5 or 10 minutes.
Another month rolled past and still no legions are active so Olyn did the wise thing and kicked their sorry asses out of Legion. Cabal members need to show up more often. |

Wow . Thank you Reborn for giving me the past 2 month history of the Legion cabal. I really didn't know, I was too busy watching you exploit the herald race. To reply to the crap in your post, I never said Olyn shouldn't have uninducted, just some theory on uninducting.
Olyn if anyone is the best example of my last post because he actually does do things to keep the cabal members interested. (Bounties on people's heads, protect Valicia, etc.)
Now I've been ignoring your petty cries for my attention but I'll put it frankly you're pretty worthless and almost daily prove it. With the literacy of a 3 year old and the random replies to points never made on topics never brought up, your see-through in game "roleplay" (with every char) and your overall complete incompetence (50 bers vs 43 dk anyone) yet you'll talk shit and act as if you're anything but a tard. I'm perfectly fine with ignoring you, but if you really want to bait me I'll bite.
Now I suggest you stfu and go back to playing with the other numbnuts on the retard farm. Thanks. |

Yeah fuck you Jaran, stupid son of a bitch. Someone should make up a song about ar's forum and poo flinging. All right, time to go sleep and make sweet sweet love to my pillows. Ohh and I'd rather see much more done with keepers than the motd, that's like hopefully last very very very last thing on the list of things to do with it. |

rofl Erlwith you really are a nothing more than a cum stain on your momma's twat.
Erlwith quick question for you. how have I exploited the Herald race?
I find it amusing that you think your mister high and mighter when really your just some 40 year old who has never gotten laid and still lives at home with your mother. Atleast thats how you act. |
