If what you need isn’t in there I can try creating an Arbites class again and post that log

Thank you Demer, I’ve raised this with our Backend Engineers.

Quick question - what name are you attempting to use for your Arbitrator?

9

I believe it was Martack, it’s one of the random generator names.

10

Cyber Mastiff I chose a few different ones each time, also random generated.

11

Hmmm, could you try another name for the Arbitrator?

The problem is the name validation service seems to be kicking off over the Arbitrator’s name, and producing an error.

We can rename your operative to the originally desired name once it’s created.

That seems to have fixed it, thank you.
