I will not sink down to the levels of name calling and insulting, as that will lead to nothing more then another page of pointless posts. In general I don't read this forum, as there is rarely a discussion worth reading. In general I find it to be full of bitching, moaning and whining, and I don't need more of it. To those of you who think you have valid comments and constructive criticism, I would be happy to read an email from you. Those of you who wish me to delete, quit or generally just want to bitch about how I did something to your character and hear from others who have suffered the many injustices I am always doing, then bitch away here, as I don't care. Don't bother sending me anything as if it has an insult in it I will delete it and do better things with my time then replying. To address the topics of arbiters, I am not going to go in to all the workings of how imm life is, simply to say those of us who are leaders in the arbiter cabal work long and hard to make it fun for all. That means arbiters as well as the rest of the mud. As to who or what to blame for the current state of arbiters, it falls on my head, as I am the head arbiter Immortal. However it isn't like one person did one thing. We, the arbiter immortals, had some changes we wanted to make to the cabal and felt that this would be a good time to simply close it for a while. Justin had nothing to do with this, as he had left long before that, we only wanted to bring closure to his life for the mortals, as I don't like imms just dropping off the face of Thera and leaving the mortals in the dark. Not another reason just something we felt we could incorporate this in to the closing. As to why I am such a bitch, or what ever insult you currently wish to refer to me as, Bria gets 18+ notes a day bitching about this arbiter who cheated, that arbiter who is corrupt. Most of them are lies, some of them might be true but I have no way to prove it as it is one persons word against the arbiters and a very few are true cases of violations, which I look in too. To those who think I should be a loving mother, who should care for all the lost idiots who walk past. Not a chance, as hard as it might be for some of you to understand Bria, she is an elite elf, aloof, she is a hard ass enforcer of the laws, and the rules of arbitership. To most arbiters who only deal with her when they have failed and are being punished, she cold and delivers the punishment quickly and with as much mercy as possible. It hurts her to punish them, but it hurts more that they have failed. To her followers, as few as there are, she is more kind, as you would all call it. As to me, I am a human being, I know that is a shock to some of you. But the personal insults hurt, I am not perfect and never claim to be. If you think you can do this job so much better then by all means, work your way up to being an immortal and we can talk. I work on this mud for fun, I didn't do it so people who have no idea what my job is like can take potshots at my work and the work of others who do this to make a better game. I am not writing this to hear how great I am or how anyone thinks I am doing a great job, I don't do this for a pat on the back or such. I only do this in hopes that those who post such insults might realize they only hurt the forum by driving the immortals away by their frivolous and insulting posts. Bria.
So many people don't like me as I take the side of the arbiter if no clear violation is shown. Arbiters hate me because I enforce the rules on them. I just try to be fair.
