Obviously the number of people who can interview and do inductions is going to be correlated with the number of people in the cabal, just as an active mortal leader in other cabals increases that cabal's numbers. After the departures of Eyllivea and Ishmael Entropy's membership declined, at least on paper and perhaps equally or moreso in-game.

Some very rough numbers I looked at just now (I offer them to give an idea, but not as concrete evidence or anything later to be used to prove points), it looks like after Eyllivea left membership fell off about 20% and after Ishmael left about 10%. The latter smaller number is likely due to Ishmael's playing time the last few months as an Imm. I don't want to speak ill of Ish in any way, but it's not as if his playing time went from full to none and I think the membership numbers reflect this somewhat.

Lastly, your comment about half of Entropy applicants being chaotic stupid (and another sizable portion being anti-Order) is probably more attributable to the overall number of Barons moreso than any variance in membership.
