The Arbiters

Post by Joey Stewart » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:32 pm

Does anybody ever get the feeling, when entering the arbiters office, of it being like at school again and having to go to the headmaster to be told off?
I always imagine them as quite strict figres of authority, even though they are generally friendly when I have actually spoken to them.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

Is the third post a record for the quality of a thread plummeting? Having said that, it didn't start very high anyway. :)
