Delphi ... the meaning is exactly what you think. They think very highly of themselves. Glowing Forest, who wish to stand out in contrast to Trikru, I'm certain. And Shadow Valley.

Truthfully, I haven't participated in Delphi's culture, but if it gave them a sense of superiority and forward thinking, I'm sure they'd accomplish it.
Come to think of it, it's very likely that they manage. They seem to fail to live up to their nature.
idk most ppl i kno who smoke herbs dont feel superiority so much as a complete communal oneness & equality predicting the future somehow doesnt rly result n complexes unless ppl believe u & it sounds like u guys rnt having that issue
not that they dont necessarily still dope up js that the superiority is prob coming from somewhere else then if no 1 is listening 2 them
Or they do a good job of making excuses when something doesn't come to pass. They are fools. Many of their forecasts are logic rather than something more.
ppl both naturally look 4 patterns & justify their thoughts when theyre wrong & dont want 2 b honestly its amazing we dont have more cults than we do considering forecasts r stats, religion is trust, philosophy is common sense - no matter what all ur doing is playing the odds
but 2 bcome the leader of a cult reqs doing such things b4 uve already got that power obvs 1ce u have power u can do p much w/e as long as ur not a ttl idiot abt it but gaining it n the 1st place w such means thats where the skill lies
