The piece of toilet paper basically reduces the size of the slot, creating a tight, snug fit for the arm peg. As a result, the arm fastens in place nice and tightly and it won't go limp. Play around with the thickness of the rope becuase if it's too thin, it won't work. I had to use two layers of toilet paper to get the right thickness.

Sadly though, I did discover another shortcoming while sliding the arms in using the toilet paper. The articulating joints on the arms are super weak and will basically go bad after just a little bit of use. Some of the articulating joints click in to place when you articulate them, but the plastic is so cheap that it stops clicking in to place after just a little bit of use, and will quickly stop working altogether. One of my points of articulation is pretty much already dead.
it's somewhat awful that considering the price you guys paid, that the CE had so many shortcomings =/

Luckily I didn't jump (due to price game only is £45 and CE is £290 with a difference of £245 for the remote control clap, steelbook no wait - ironpak [pretty sure advestised as steelbook] and art prints), but if I was in this situation I would

Back in the day Gearbox wasn't so awful (BL1), then came DNF, Colonial Marines and that crap ton amount of DLCs for BL2 which I was always against (especially in a CE!):
