#8524, "Idea for a new cabal"


          

I have not thought of a name, but it is a neutral only cabal.
That has 2 main focuses. The first is:

1) Kill the elite

Since the code for pk ratios already exists I suggest that when a member of this cabal does a who pk they see an additional word or two on each person's title. This word could be based on a combination of pk ratio and total pk wins. Simply put the more elite the person the greater the target.
The cabals sense of honor/courage roleplay would be dependent upon the target. If the target is very tough than they can gang with as many people as they want.

The members must be neutral otherwise light or dark would influence who they deem to be their enemies.

The second focus would be to themselves.

Gone have the days when people of a cabal were like family, now all so idependent. Therefore I suggest there be a reward/punishment code.
If a member of the cabal dies, everyone in the cabal loses a small to modest amount of health (or a malediction). Everytime someone ranks or lands a kill, everyone in the cabal gains high morale and a hp/mana regen boost. If someone with a very high pk ratio is killed then the reward for everyone is bigger. There is no limit to the possibilities here.

I would also suggest that each member could have a command to see the health of everyone in the cabal, much like typing group. Perhaps even the ability to see what each person is hitting if they happen to be fighting at the time.

As for the story to tie everything together, well I will leave that to the experts.

Half past six players extreme ganging of the elites. No matter how elite you are, you are going to fall to gangs.

Anyway, I have always thought the Nexus was a fabulous cabal. Too bad it goes side-tracked along the way. Remember the First King of Shanara series? Yeah the role the Druids were supposed to play was something towards the Nexus cabal.

Ahhh... where are you Nol and Jazur? Where art thou, Vahlen?!!

Wouldn't they, by their charter, have to commit mass suicide?

I don't think a cabal that punishes people for being good is a good idea, nor do I think handing out powers powers that reveal any character's PK stats in any form, no matter how vague, is a good idea.
