Police is not helping

[Jihadjoe]

OP. Let me tell you what it's like playing as a house military character.

You run from one emergency to the next endlessly, between pirate groups at west point to nomads at Z21 to Rheinland military in texas. It's constant and doesn't stop.

In the middle of that endless parade of hostiles who all want to shoot at you, you might just find time to do what you should be doing and (in the example of Liberty) flying to Rheinland to take the war to Hamburg.

While this is all going on, you are constantly bombarded by questions about house law, people asking to build a base or use a cloak or if they can have access to a liberty cruiser to escort their zoner whale... Then, while you're fielding this, trying to keep the house as clean as possible and trying tp pursue a war with another house, you also have traders crying endlessly about how you didn't drop everything and come to their rescue against two pirates...

Now, perhaps they are ignorant of the fact you already have your hands full, and perhaps they're ignorant of the fact that you're trying so very hard to make sure these traders don't get blown up by pirates... But that doesn't stop it being annoying when you are told "HELP HELP I AM GETTING SHOT BY A BARGHEST! Y U NO DO UR JOB COME PROTECT ME HALP!" while you are being shot by seven rogues.

It's even more annoying when following this sort of situation, that self same trader comes running to the forums and tells the universe that "the police and military suck and do nothing to help".

Do you understand now?
