**I'll just give a couple of example for each, that not only should be valid rp, but would also be smart play


Figured I would go ahead and reply since it might quell questions or flames about this.
1: Do I expect you to be suicidal and stupid?
Response : Hell no, what I do expect however is SOMETHING to be done. Remember, you are part of the Village of Battle Ragers. Those who have dedicated their lives to destroying magic and on top of this a Berserker no less. When ANY mage (forget cabal) that you can harm walks up to you and you walk away without saying even a word, or any action against him, how does this speak about your hatred and rage?

**That I'm seething on the inside instead of being a loud mouth? Just because you have a lot of hatred/rage doesn't mean you need to yell about it every other breath, that's narrow rp.

**That I know that not only can I not win if I attack right now, but that attacking now hurts my chances for a successful attack later? That's pigeonholing a cabal that is already very difficult to survive/succeed in into even narrower tactics, when what you should be doing is praising creative tactics.

2: Let us pick when we think we can win our battles
Response : Yes, you are allowed to pick your own battles but this does not mean you can ignore someone because it doesn't look good for you. You can't just ignore the cabal's ideals and goals because you think you might die, and then pick them back up again when you know you will win. Pick your fights that you will be balls to the wall, but you should TRY every chance you get to kill the mage. If it doesn't look good, then get the hell out of there, however you TRIED.


**So a berserker assassin is never allowed to try and assassinate, or a thief wait for fly to drop because somewhere before that they have the CHANCE to attack? You can't just decide whether a character is really abandoning the cabal's ideal and goals for fear of death unless it becomes so commonplace as to be ridiculous. Rahno was not this person.

**How do you decide "when it doesn't look good", because to me, being wanted, trying to attack tribunal mages, and deal with the vindicator at the same time sure sounds like a "doesn't look good" situation to me, but then, I like to look at the big picture.

3: We got stuff under control
Response: Uh, no. I'm sorry but this is far from the truth. People can bitch about how Berserker’s were purged, but most all agree that it was needed and a good thing. Is Battle going in a better direction now? I would like to think so, but now that it has been put on track it will be up to the mortal leaders and players to make it better.

**Who is most all? I certainly don't agree that a purge was what was needed... did someone need to clean some house? Hell yes. But half of the people let back in, shouldn't have been, and some of the people not let back in should have been. Also, it was never that JUST the berserkers that was the problem. Of course that's just my opinion, but then you are using yours as justification, and quite frankly I haven't seen anything that indicates yours is better than mine.

4: Be tough but fair
Response: Actually, you were proof of being fair. I allowed you back in while there was a few comments from others that they thought you shouldn't have been. There are quite a few who I have watched who had to flee from the village from a gank of 4 or more and you know what? I give them props for sticking it out as long as they could and fighting them until they had to run. I don't expect stupidity, but I'm not going to allow people to just be a part time rager either.


**Sticking out against a gank of 4 is just stupidity unless there is absolutely no chance of them lagging you... at all. Sticking it out even in that case is relatively futile since the chances of you being able to take one down aren't good, so guess what now you're hurt and on the run... easy pickings for some lucky air/offense, or any number of other village enemies. What you should give them props for is having the patience to wait until they aren't all together then bashing each one of them into the ground.

**My character had much interaction/involvement with Rahno and he was anything but a part time rager. It seems obvious to me that you didn't exactly do your homework before taking over, and tough but fair isn't how I'd describe your policies.
