This is a such good point. *poke Jarmel*
> And, to be on-topic, this forum isn't really the place to be discussing someone's role. Most especially someone who is still actively playing. If anywhere, the character board would be the place to talk about a role, but Fuath is still a char. Perhaps he's sphere deception, and chose dagger for the underhand skill, and goes around killing people in town with it (no yell) and then claims to have been doppled or some such? I doubt all of this, of course, but it would be an interesting and viable role, and if it were mine, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be discussing it.

This is all true, but Jarmel makes a valid point. The moment you post on this forum you open yourself up to all sorts of criticism the could otherwise be taken as char assassination. I don't think Fuath's role deserves any concealment, but I really don't like disclosing anything about current char roles OOC. Fuath just coming out and saying I chose dagger/hth for RP purposes is a borderline cop-out when you look at his logs. I think he should just come right out and say, 'I chose these specs so I could play an incredibly weak class and hand ragers their ass."
> Basically, it seems to me that nobody likes to see arbs win (except Imbrogno, who gets a hard-on each time he sees "is DEAD!!!" associated with a criminal) and that is why people bitch about Fuath's logs.

Any self-respecting criminal loves Arbiters. They love beating the hell out of them. They love how they bungle investigations. But most of all, they must love the fact that the Arbiters exist solely because of them. If any of you out there really do hate the arbiters, try playing one. I guarantee your outlook on them will change.
