I understand that a big difficulty in getting inducted is finding a leader online at the same time who has the time to speak with you. While I agree it's a hardship, I don't feel that automating cabal inductions is the best solution.

In terms of RP, you get out of it what you put into it. This doesn't mean you have to feign ignorance of everything you've learned as a player, but each character interaction with a cabal leader should have a different twist based on your role. For those who are playing their 40th "mages burned my village, now give me my bloodthirst" Rager or 50th "forced into the wilds, now give me my chamo" Outlander, I can see how it would get old, though.

If you want mortal leaders to act as policemen, then you are going to see a sharp rise in the number of uninducts as a result. While mortal leaders currently have the power to do this, they do not have as many resources to catch bad behavior as the cabals' immortals. Very few people are uninducted by cabal leaders, even in an easy-in, easy-out cabal like Empire. Should leaders take more of a policing role, my guess is that the level of player complaints about unfairness toward other players would rise. Call me cynical, but I don't think the level of OOC complaining and character assassination needs to rise any further.
