Had a few village interviews of late as well, and apart from 1, the other talks and such were very scholarly. I do understand the importance of knowing history, but I also think that rager interviews where it's solely about how much history you know, shouldn't play the largest factor for induction. In fact, Battle of all cabals should be the most action>word cabal. I remember thinking to myself when asked certain questions, 'thank goodness i have logs to look through'. For the newbie, I believe, it will be an awful struggle just to get into the Cabal that interests him. Besides, I felt like I was doing homework. Having posted in a goodbye thread before on this, I believe that inductions shouldn't be based on 'passwords', but on the character's worth and efforts to learn and be part of the cabal. Just my 2 cents. :)
