Since it seems to be a hot topic at the moment, some form of response is in order. I'm not interested in getting into a flame war, so I'll try and keep it short.

First, Thrakk, you were removed for clearly breaking a rule on the pillar, the 8th one to be specific, which you admitted to yourself. The first paragraph says that any infraction of these rules will result in removal from the Hall. As for being selective when enforcing this... belive it or not, we don't take sadistic pleasure in kicking people out of the cabal, or ruining their day. If the mistake can be remedied, we will often give the Arbiter an opportunity to do so. For example, if you didn't tell someone why they were flagged, or told them while invisible, those are mistakes that can be easily fixed with no negative side affects. However, if your mistake results in the death of an innocent person, or someone not getting a fair trial then dying, as in your case, then you will be kicked out.

Saagkri, it says on the pillar that the only cabal Arbiters will war with is Entropy, I don't see how having no response can be taken for approval. Oh, and you were kicked out for attacking a raider when they fled into Ofcol, not for giving gear to Alfonse.

As for having weak powers, if a 99.9% successful power word kill that hits out of range isn't powerful enough for you, I'm sorry.

And finally, micro-management... when I hit 'note list' right now, almost a quarter of my notes are from people that want to bitch about Arbiters to me. Whenever I log on, I pretty much always get atleast one tell from someone that wants to complain about one thing or another. That makes up the largest part of my interactions, unfortunatly, since its rarely fun to deal with. Lords and Elders would often be partaking in these actions also, but there aren't any now as you pointed out, which happens to all cabals at one time or another, in case you didn't notice.

That sums up most of the points that I could pick out. Feek free to point out anything I missed.

The incident of which you speak happened before I was made Lord. I was removed for the reason stated in my previous post. N/T Saagkri 23:39:16 1/3/2000 (0)
