4 cabals.
1-Empire/Tribunal combine again but change philosophy. A take over of all towns and civilized lands. 2-Outlander/Battle combine in some format. Wild barbarian tribe that views magic as dangerous to the land. Oposes the empire/scion.
3-SHadow/Scion unite and begin their work using wild magic to bring forth eternal night. 4-Knight/Fortress combination-To oppose the shadow/scions.
THink if each of these is fleshed out good we would have a more dynamic cabal war system.
Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.

I think making the cabals straight forward good vs. evil, chaos vs. order is kinda bleh. Multi-faceted systems are more interesting anyways.
Mayby get rid of tribunal, and let empire take over guarding protected cities - perhaps with a twist.
Outlander is fairly interesting as an outlaw cabal.
Ragerrrrs are necessary, because it's an awesome diehard mentality and good for the game in general.
Goodie cabal I guess is necessary.
Right now, all the cabal choices are really, really great, and diversity is always fun, but I think limiting people to a fewer cabals would inevitably result in more group on group action, which in return results in more carrion for the fields.

Two cabals that have some compatible interests, such as Nexus and Scion, could fight over who is the dominant partner in their alliance. Maybe as long as Nexus has Scion's cabal item, then Scions only get access to their cabal powers (including the power to recruit new Scions) as long as the Nexus leader allows it. However, this also puts Scion leaders in the line up for potentially becoming the next Nexus leader. In the meantime, Scions could attempt a coup to get their item back, and maybe they'll even get the Nexus item while they are at it.
This creates broader organizations on an as needed basis. The smaller a cabal is, the easier they are to conquer and keep under control. Furthermore, I think Seantryn Modan must be destroyed.

You'd still find that wimps won't log/stay on if their side is outnumbered.

I too, need to get through my work day.
What if we just took it down to four cabals that represented good, evil, chaos, order. Basically make it Empire, Fort, Outlander, Tribunal. This would still nearly every kind of role, and the magic oriented cabals like scion, rager, nexus, could turn into religious organizations like scarab.
I think this would, in fact, reduce some of the problems you mentioned with pendulum swinging and the like.

I would change Empire for Scions.
Tribunal: Orderly - Any Align
Outlander: Chaotic - Any Align
Fort: Good - Any Ethos
Scion: Evil - Any Ethos
On a side note, I wouldn't go down to four cabals, but if we did, I would use those four.

Now? When haven't we had that?
(Obviously, lots of people do only play one character at a time, and always have.)
