Although, I keep wondering if I'm the only player with a thousand point damage aura surrounding them all the time. I just assumed that was the latest veteran reward. Its not?

Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
Arbiter Fab is a nice guy, and not just a forum or Pocket D "thing." If anything, Arby Fab is a City of thing.
Xan, as someone who appeared in the official comics more than several Freedom Phalanx members, combined, I would think you might be somewhat sympathetic. Unless you're like Grae and just secretly enjoy all the attention. 
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

There's a trick with certain costume options to make it seem like you have saddle shoes, I;ve taught folks how to make them, been called a dev over that. HEck, there are times I've logged in as Arbiter Fabulous and been asked what's it like to work with Sexy Jay, or worse, folks have thought I *WAS* Sexy Jay. Tonight it happened again, I was on as my petless thugs mastermind, Occult 45, who is going to be my big GR character, walking around with my dual pistols out, and folks were, once again, asking me if I was in beta, a dev, or worked somewhere else in paragon studios. For the record, I am not a dev, I do not work for NCSoft, Paragon studios or it's affiliate companies. As for beta, I signed up for it at HeroCon, I stayed active for the loyalty program so.. yes I'm in beta, eventually.. whenever it's going to start. When that is, I dunno. Please folks, all it takes is someone accidentally talking about how they ran into the Dev "Arbiter Fabulous" for me to lose access to this wonderful game. I like to be social, but it's really difficult when I have to walk on eggshells typing, trying to make sure I don;t say something that could be construed as breaking the rules. Major rules at that. Sorry for ranting, at first it was funny being thought of as a developer, goodness knows I'd be AT Paragon Studios in a heartbeat if I could, I love this game and would love working for it. But after a while, it gets a bit cumbersome. Forgive the rant, and if you think this post seems silly or pointless, guess how *I* feel. Love, Arbiter "I'M NOT A DEV" Fabulous |

Funny, I've never seen Arbiter Fab as being effeminate. Ever. I guess I'm not still hung up on certain imaginary definitions of what men and women do. |

What? Being nice with no ulterior motive? What kind of human being does she call herself?

Oops.

What is there to be sympathetic of?
Anyone who spends x amount of time playing the game and y amount of time posting on the forum will garner enough exposure to be considered "famous" in the context of the virtue server board community.
All that happens as a result is ~5% of the server know who you are and you constantly receive tells from people. Hardly something to be "sympathetic" towards.

It wasn't poisoned, I'd just left it out too long. Time makes fools of us all, I guess.

Nobody ever tells me I'm good looking, but at Herocon Miss Liberty did tell me I had a 'lovely accent'.
your avatar still freaks me out clobber....

I found it odd last night when I logged into my hero "Police Officer" in the middle of AP that someone asked me if I was a dev.
Got me thinking that if I was a dev, that would be a good name to use.

1. the cool name
2. the fact that gms when they fixed a bug for a mish/tf /event appear in a police drone sometimes or as a npc

He's not a Dev. Honest.
(Oh snap, and a dig at my old global name to boot.)
Seriously, he's not.

Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
I for one hope Arbiter Fabo will find the solitude he seeks away from the players that hound him relentlessly , giving him never a moments respite or peace .
I will pray nightly that this man who as i've heard won an award for err something at a MMO convention , but im sure its something great like setting up a charity or well you know something amazing and award worthy ! I just know it because as I said he does indeed have an award and well i've heard from the man himself via this thread that folks constantly mistake him for a dev .
Arbiter Fabo you have my sincere condolences
It is a heavy burden you must carry
