I just wish to clarify that I am not disagreeing with the technical, textbook definitions of what paladins and hellions are, and/or their duties and so on.
Just as I did not disagree with the splitting of Knights of Selkwood + Druids, Talons + Fists, etc.. However the idea certainly seemed better back when Shattered Kingdoms was played by 75-100 players.
These changes were most likely made to accommodate a large, growing MUD, by encouraging more political or religious bodies to interact with each other, both great concepts and visions in the past.
As Shattered Kingdoms does not have a growing trend, and I am not arguing here combining cabunals and/or +add symbols would be the saving grace, but at some point it is probably better to cut the losses.

You're wasting your time, you know. They don't want to hear anything but whatever blows smoke up their own butts. Face it, SK is dying (while other muds - iron realms especially - are actually growing slightly) because of this type of attitude.
Oh well.
