Why the institutional position that you need to force people to level? You've already put in place a system where the character will need to deal with it because of distention. So why the added negative titles? The withholding of game perks like leadership/quests etc?

You'll find that the sarcastic titles are reserved for people who are cleaning up on a lower range and going out of their way to avoid ranking up.

As for cabal leadership, it wouldn't make too much sense in a power-themed cabal like Empire if the boss was some mid-ranked guy. Also, cabal leaders are often expected to lead the charge for raids, etc. Several cabals have had leaders in the 30-40 ranks, although they often rank up quickly because they get as much help as they want from other members.
