> While I understand Shokai's point about Arbiter Imms having a difficult job, it is unfair to arbitrarily blame the players for the collapse of the cabal and exonerate the Arbiter Imms of any responsibility in it's failture. What really finished it off, was the departure of Justin, one of the BEST and most respected Imms. > While Justin maintained standards and discipline, you never, ever got the feeling that he got his jollies torturing you, like Astein, and he made sure he was on often, inducted frequently, answered questions, seemed to actually give a shit about the cabal, and wanted it to succeed. Bria, to be honest, was often absent, seemed to be less than enthusiastic about being in charge, and was probably put there because noone else wanted the job at the time. > Had it not been for Justin's leadership and hard work, the cabal would of fallen apart sooner than it did. Without him, it's no wonder the players got tired of the often absent and harsh leadership that the remaining Imms displayed. > If Justin could do what is admittidly a harsh and demanding job, yet still have a good attitude that inspired the players and kept morale high, should we expect any less from the current leadership? > -An Old Arbiter
