> As to your complaint about enmasse logins, I just don't see it happening to the degree you perceive. Asihara and Zimriphel were around when I logged in, Ponting arrived after I did, and Jaeru a good deal later. Since Warders won't take up ic complaints against Arbiters I'll tell you why we took the book here. Pikel hasn't raided the Arbiters before that I remember, meaning actually attacked the stern guard, we did this time in response to the manner in which Arbiters have been enforcing their "laws." I was not grouped with Ponting at the time you wanted him I don't believe. I was attempting to catch Xeren before he left Galadon. The next thing I know Ponting is (WANTED) and when I ask him what he did, he said you told him that the flag had been placed for aiding me. I don't see where you felt certain in making that judgement, but its yours to make so I won't debate it. After Asihara, Qeli, and Zimriphel being wanted (in our eyes) unjustly, Ponting getting flagged unjustly was the proverbial straw. No Arbiter has heard Pikel complain about being flagged, when I deserve it, I take it. In these cases I don't believe the Warders in question deserved the flags, so in response we took the Book. If I'm wrong in saying the flags were unjust I'll apologize here and in game. But honesty and truth go hand in hand, and to some degree justice or falls into play. What you experienced was a response to what we felt were unjust flags. You won't see the Warders raiding Arbiters while I'm Captain in any other circumstances.
