But there is definitely some falsehood.

For example, part of the reason Daurwyn was made a leader of warlock (apparently) was in order to give the cabal leadership outside of prime time (me being European), whilst the imms gave it leadership in prime-time. So sometimes these things not only go to people outside of prime time, but intentionally so.

That said, I have had a lot more happen with my chars when for some reason I am playing at 4 a.m., considering how rarely I do it. But what's the alternative, barring European/Asian/Aussie imms? You can't expect the Yanks to get up at 4am just to give you some immteraction.
