Jaded, you're not going to have a perfect world where everybody is going to act in accordance with a protection order. There are many variables to consider when you see a lack of support. For instance, we're in a point of time where most districts are spending an incredible amount of resources to build from the ground up. Perhaps there were more important things going on in one's district when two worthless gangsters were shot down at the time. The outcome could very well be different if they were higher ranks or if the leader enforcing the protection order was a true powerhouse among the community. It's a few examples for thought. 

There are protection orders that are carried out better than others, but then again, you have to consider other variables. I don't know if your bloodline hasn't been around these streets for long, but this isn't new. This happens quite often when protection orders are in place, not to mention the countless times how a witness statement never turns up. So you can be a skeptic all you want because this will continue to happen for more generations to come and I don't see it ending any time soon. 

It is what it is.

Why yes, of course I am new to the streets.

Jaded coughs slightly.

Maybe to you it is what it is, to others it is a new reign and if all we have to judge on it is their words and actions, well the lack of follow through with this protection order doesn't leave a great impression for the future does it?

On the other side, I do see your point. Of course they are busy. If they are so busy then perhaps they should not have spoken about a protection order if there is no intention to follow it? Just a thought of course.

I am going out on the hopeful limb to say that since it has been reiterated again that perhaps this time there will be more of a follow through on it. We shall see though.

If they hadn't spoken about a protection order, there would be even more death, most likely. Thus, even if this protection order is not being enforced with astounding zealotry, I think it still saved and saves a lot of otherwise ended lives.

Not entirely sure I agree with the "some is better than none" concept.  Then again I keep hoping we are in an era where you are held responsible for your actions. So if someone is shooting people that are supposed to be protected, that they are held responsible for it.

'All lives matter!'

That is the platform the leaders are standing upon right now. Good for them for taking a stand and issuing this proclamation. Peace shall fall upon these shores as we rebuild into the power houses that we know from our histories.

All while this is happening, those under the protection order that was initially granted, and then re-announced will be killed in cold blood. 'All lives matter! Except for those we wish to kill, then those lives don't really matter'

Thems the breaks. I can hear 'rank up and do something about it' being cursed from voices I can't clearly see.

wish this protection order had a IA claus, so that people 1/2 weeks IA were fair game

Numair steps slowly through the crowd leaning on his handy cane, it was his first time in the streets and it was even more nerve wracking because he was going to ask a question. Getting to the front he wets his lips before asking his question nervously.

since it is passed the time and date for the protection order of all those who lost their homes in the war, is the order to lay off players less than 7 days old still in effect?

Numair waits for obstacle to address his question.

I think it would be much better if our esteemed leaders just provide us with a name upon request that we can practice our super duper pea shooters on.

Would involve less work for the likes of me plus means we will never fall foul of the rules.....
