I have to agree with some of the ones listed in other posts for sure. > Now that the Arbiter Cabal lies in ruins (go see... it's pretty neat to look at, but do it fast; I'm sure it's going to be rebuilt eventually) I'm curious to hear who people thought were among the best Arbiters ever. Moreover, I'm curious as to wby people think that they were good Arbiters. > I'm especially interested in any of the older, second-age names that people might come up with; most of the Third-age ones are pretty well known. (That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be mentioned if they deserve it, though.) > (Don't feel the need to limit yourself to one, either; if there were six worth mentioning, mention them!) > So speak up; who belongs in the Arbiter Hall of Fame (if there were such a thing), and why?
But I also have to say Astein, his role play was always exceptional.
He knew the damned book inside out with every question I tried.
He followed the rules to a tee, especially the oft left out one of informing
you when you are flagged of your offence. He had a good knowledge of the realms.
He was a pretty damned good tracker too, one of the hardest to get away from I
would say. I interacted with him on both sides of the law, even had a char in
the cabal underneath him, and he really was a good influence on the cabal in general I think.
