*shrug* I only agreed to arbitrate and administrate the game because it got bogged down when Spullla and Jowy argued over the turn split, and the game got stopped. All of the teams agreed that I'd do those jobs for them, after it became known that the teams could do them themselves.
Now, I have absolutely no problem with stepping down from the current role, provided each team still in the game wants that. I feel that stepping down because one team demands it is betraying the original agreement that all the teams made. It is also giving in to bullying (do what we want or we trash the game, luckily it is already over), but that isn't for me to deal with, that is up to the players to decide what to do.
All said though, I wouldn't call the task thankless, but you do have to have a thick skin to deal with it.
