The point is a stagnant system. The same thing, recycled over and over again. Remove sylvan only to put in another cabal that more or less does the same thing, who's basic job is to fight tribs.

I do not hate masters I just dont want to see a repeat with a diff name. Its not progressive, its regressive. Thera does not evolve, its the same thing over and over again. Im not saying cabal wars should not remain, im saying to redo the cabals in such a way that no parallel can be found to what was. Meaning, you dont destroy sylvan, move them across the sea, give them a slightly different RP, rename them but in the end....its sylvan only with a new face.

Why does there have to be a mage cabal? Why does there have to be a village? Why does there have to be an evil mage cabal? Why does there have to be a savages cabal? No matter what you rename them they do the same thing. Lets kill sylvan and make another cabal to fight tribs. Well, therein lies the problem. CF is just going around in circles.

Whats wrong with having just two sides? Whats wrong with having a cataclysmic event that wipes the whole world clean. Whats wrong with having a Thera world war with actual consequences? Whats the point of playing with your battleship in the bathtub?

"Whats wrong with having a cabal in the likeness of Masters?" Well, there is the problem. You dont want anything new. You just want masters back without really asking for it.
