Please! This must have been posted by Quintellia. I'm in town practicing this morning. Some thief jacks me...steal 2 of my rings and takes off. I wake and am standing at the large intersection. The same thief comes to me again and looks at me. This all happens in about 90 seconds. So I attack him. Yes I know I broke the law and I didn't run when Quintellia flagged me. I came to her for my punishment. Her guards killed me...I wimpy fled a few times. And btw I had 1244 to my next level and ended up with 16k tnl. So then Quint doesn't return my equipment. Yes I know she doesn't have to but come on! *I* was jacked and robbed! What am I supposed to do...let him do it again and again? So anyway she uses the same old arbiter crap about how I didn't tell her blah blah blah. I mean really. If I said Thief just jacked and robbed me what would she have done? 'Any witnesses?' No...I was unconscious. So it's my word against hers. Being a duergar and her a paladin what do you think she would have done. Nothing. So in the end Thief has my rings, Quint returned a nightwing and a belt and I have a 16k hole to dig out of. Arbiters have displayed cowardice and thievery. They *say* their jobs are thankless. No shit. You kill people for killing in town! How do you justify that?! OH! you have a badge. Big fucking deal. Give me one and I'll be justified too. Anyway in all my years in Thera I've never met an arbiter who deserved respect. I've considered rolling one just make it so. Flame away
