> Of COURSE the fact that arbiters are outnumbered by ragers AND Empire and Master being weak as of late AND the fact that Battle always almost has the head (poncho+DBlow+Thirst) has absolutely NOTHING to do with this. Napolean said "Victory goes to the bigger battallions" There are competent arbiters about, Imbrogno for one, but he and other arbs are outnumbered, plain and simple.

You'd probably complain about how imabalnced the game is, ect. ect., but, becuase you are winning now, it's so easy (and more personaly gratifying) to blame it on your enemies incompetence than the simple fact they are overwhealmed.
