The Order Of Cabbage was RuneScape's first and largest cult. At their peak they had hundreds of members and the love and support of Jagex staff. However, they completely vanished soon after. Today we discuss why.

Heya! This is Ignite 168/Iggy. I go by Iglw now and still log on to OSRS every now and then. It's absolutely surreal that people are still telling our story so many years later! I think I got credited for a few things that were already in place before I inherited leadership from Blackbane, but overall I'm amazed that you went through and did reenactments/animations of our cult events and even some of the stories we had in the GBoK. So awesome, I love it! Thank you so much for making this video. Kah Bah Gee!

For the record: Cabbage tastes great if you cook it properly My suggestion: something we had often as kids Several pork loin chops with prepped and chopped cabbage or whole cabbage leaves, after boiling the cabbage for a bit and salting the pork chops and/or adding your preferred seasoning (I suggest slap ya mama Cajun seasoning) add both to the same pan and bake them together in an oven at around 350-450 degrees. The flavors perfectly compliment each other and mix together, so the cabbage has a juicy meaty taste when your done because it soaks in the flavors and juices from the chops. Also great if you're on a budget. We would cook them in a portable roasting oven when I was a kid when we lived in a camper/old school bus in the woods.

Yeah man. Not having a purpose is real. The great thing I've learned looking back on all this cabbage shenaneghans is that there's no rule that you have to have your life all figured out... just that you are making progress towards something. Anything. No matter how small it is. For me it was cabbages, and learning to meet friends, and organize groups... and collaborate with people. And then trying other things in life until I found something that sticks. And almost 20 years later.... just picking (pun not intended) small things to focus on year after year, school, work, learning new skills.... eventually one of them sticks and you figure out where to start next.

Around that time, most cabbage spawns were changed from objects on the ground into scenery pieces, which would have their respawn behaviour programmed very differently. Scenery pieces look better because they can have different orientation, among other graphical benefits. From Mod Ash

If the meaning of the clicks is all subjective, you can convince yourself you enjoy clicking on anything if you attach meaning to it. Cabbages gives you permission, a blank cheque, to attatch any meaning to it. Whereas leveling up your skills/gold forces you into a box where your numbers are compared to everyone elses meaning of gold/level.
i was a member i remember this yeah those were the days dropping cabbages at random spots as a way of propaganda or for others to join us like musa point karamja fishing spots mining places you name it
you should interview someone from the cult

This was brilliant thankyou😂
Can’t believe ya didn’t mention the time the KZreadr Charborg briefly led a cabbage cult and made two whole vids about it, shit was hilarious and heavily referenced the OG cult
The other very human thing: man feels hopelessness in life and cannot even find enjoyment in a video game at a young age, with all the time in the world, so he starts a cult to feel important and like life has meaning again. Truly amazing stuff. Don't let this guy near a government or army or philosophy book is all I'll say. You'll have a next Lenin or Marx on your hands. Of course, then gets rid of it when in-fighting starts. Very cute, haha. Note: An extra twist is that he wanted it secret. Not uncommon to find such a Hermetic sort of root. We see this all the time these days. It's also not as uncommon as you think that they start to break due to in-fighting. Only great leaders can controllers can actually stop the in-fighting or use it to their advantage. Clearly, in this case, it wasn't very helpful inside a fairly niche video game.

I actually still have the cult outfit sitting on my account even though short of just checking it every year or so it just sits dormant. Used to toss on the outfit and just try and figure out wtf they were doing
This unlocked some primitive memories that I completely forgot. I TOTALLY remember players running around saying "Kah Ba Gee." I wonder what other things I've forgotten about since I started playing in 05...
Was the best time. I'll never forget when the Jmod showed up in the patch. I really feel the the Cabbage based content that came after was a nod to OoC. So glad this cult is being remembered today. The forums were super tight nit and meticulous. The anxiety you'd get lining up in the patch to be made a acolyte or get promoted. Kbg forever.
Funnily enough just yesterday i was north of the temple near edgeville, saw someone picking cabbage in funny patterns and asked if it was kah bah gee. Got to tell this story because noone there knew what was going on when i said that.
Speaking of this, i think i got recruited by a former member or underground member of the Order of cabbage.
Cabbage is still alive. You just don’t see them. True heroes are never recognized, but millions of cabbage are being delivered to RS daily, plus millions more being stockpiles in trustworthy banks across gillenor. You guys are blessed.
holy crap i remember this when i was like 6 and just started playing they cabbage bombed fally and i thought it was the coolest thing anyone has ever done. Needless to say as a kid i was easily impressed and had a simple mind. some things never change i guess lol. love this community always was and always will be the most unique and dedicated there is.
