I recognize quite a few. Two are mine and one of them age died. Ahhh...the good old days. No job + no bills = lots of mudding.

IMHO, Shadow was a better cabal than any of the current evil cabals. The main reason being the lack of rules. An evil cabal that doesn't encourage members to kill eachother just isn't very evil. Empire sucks like that. Scion is mage focused which hamstrings other classes that join.
