Quit bitching first of all, Carrionfields is a privilege, not a right. If you do not like it, don't play. Sure your opinion is welcome, as is anyone elses who wishes to post on the forum. However, you do not reflect the desires of the Carrionfields populace as a whole, so more than likely your bitching gets you nowhere and annoys the hell out of people who put their time into their characters. Often we find our characters flamed out because they do not comply with your personal desires. Guess what bucko, in the scheme of things no one gives a shit about you. I'm sorry, it's the same case for me as well, but I can accept it and make do with what difference I can make. Now, if you have the balls for it, roll up your own lawful and make the arbiters what you think they should be, since they aren't leaving anytime soon. Think you can do that? Perhaps you have had an arbiter in the past? It makes no difference if you were or not, obviously you didn't leave much of a mark. Of course I'll be flamed to all hell for responding to this, and I should know better than to provoke a fight with those who deem themselves superior to the rest of the CF population(Jhyrbian) but I could honestly care less. I play CF for the enjoyment I get, no to compete with some little boy who can't find resolution to his inferiority complex and so finds the desire to bash other people in an IRC chat so that people don't laugh at him for his weaknesses. I expected nothing when the arbiters returned, but to cry and whine like a two year old when an Arbiter makes a mistake...is there anything I can even say except that you need to grow up? Granted there can be severe penalties to poor flaggings, often there is insufficient evidence in a case, he did this, no he did that bullshit, and no one is going to be flagged. If you have a problem, report it, provide witnesses assuming the Arbiter did not witness it, and wait patiently for them to resolve the conflict. Do not jump on their ass and bitch and moan, it only serves to irritate them. If you have a question, ask them kindly, wait for a response, if you do not get one, speak with another Arbiter. If that doesn't work, talk to an Arbiter Imm. Astein and jaldean are both on more often than not, and I'm sure they are willing to help you. The job isn't easy, especially with the occaisinal asshole flaming Arbiters for this or that. The arbiters are humans, they will make mistakes. Obviously humans make mistakes, else we would have never witnessed the post I feel inclined to respond to. I give every arbiter credit because they have put themselves on stage in front of everyone for better or worse, and even behind a character it isn't always an easy thing to do. If you really have that much of a problem with being flagged, don't break the laws. My apologies for being harsh, I know the truth hurts: PS- I do not plan on reading any responses to this, I'm bored with your redundant flames. Have a nice day.
