Blah. All you verbose arbiters are overlooking a couple obvious things:
1: You don't HAVE to be an arbiter. You could always just quit, or quit and bloodoath, or quit and go to Dawn, or quit and quest. I play arbiters cause they're fun, good equipment, no brainer role, real safe...
2: It's not that fucking hard. Or that stressful. I've had multiple arbies, both modern and old. If being an arbie is the strain you and Etherian, etc., make out, I have to wonder how you manage to start your car every morning.. I mean, stick it in AND turn, that might be too much for you people.
3: Arbiters DO suck. A lot of them play it corrupt. A lot of them are just stupid. A lot of them are trying to do both. And a lot of them (Etherian) have all they can handle just playing a stock-rom one-step-better-than-a-mob special guard arbiter. Even the best (Etherian again?) don't roleplay. I can only remember Iomahk and Kantherion as being both arbiters AND good all-around players.
But don't worry. Eventually you'll get the arbiter thing down, and eventually they'll make cars that start with the press of a button.
