It has been drawn to my attention many times over the past week that players have been� quitting due to getting their bank robbed or being mugged of cash they are holding, particularly off time.�

I am sad that players are talking about quitting or quitting. �

However there is a few things i want to say. �PB is not a game solely about training and the Warden has spoken of this recently. �It is actually about being the toughest... and toughest comes in many forms... fortitude in the face of hardship is one example of toughness. �I hate to say it but OGpeak is an example of this. As was Povich.

As an old timer in many senses of the word... I think I am right in saying that many players on here have become complacant about the risks involved with building up big banks, holding millons of dollars and going offline. �In my pb youth that would never have happened. �Some of you may remember how risky it was to hold even 30mill. �I see people holding soooo much money ... myself included.

The difference is... that people hold this assuming they are safe. �YOU ARE NEVER SAFE. �If you are prepared to hold that amount of money the be prepared to lose it. �

Players in the old days had to work way harder to build their stats... and they were doing it in a climate where you could not hold 10s of thousands, let alone millions... and yet the like of @Rog_ and @lboogie all built amazing stats. �The trick is being smart about how you hold and store you cash. �

I also remember in terms of having to get items... only being able to crime one mill at a time then sending it off. �It was life. And it is why runners became important. �Maybe someone needs to put in effort on building a decent run team. �It could damn well be worth your while.�

And i know i say this as i am holding over 100 mill... but for me... if i lose it... it is just money. Ask Negan how many times he has managed to get cash from me... lmao�

Secondly raiding cells. �Your cell will get raided if you have lots of money in it. � To expect it won't is naive. �In real life, would you store millions of dollars in your house and expect people to be able to know it was there and then not steal it. �No we wouldn't. �Yet online, where people are 10x less empathetic of course you will be raided. So if you choose to build a bank be prepared to lose shit.�

Also... fight back damn it. �Gangs all have some strong and some not so strong players. �So do what you can... and if you are mugged... mug back... raid... fight... place hits... decent ones... and don't just quit! � Look for whoelse has a good bank in that gang... or may not be as fast.

And lastly... to the people doing the mugging and raiding... the #dontbeadick is coming to you. �Go ahead and click the buttons but no need to be a braggart. �You didn't end terrorism, or climb mount everast .... you clicked a button. �

The game should be fun, and include all parts of the game, attacking, mugging, raiding, criming and training, and basic fucking people skills. �... it isn't fun when people are crying and it isn't fun when people are being dicks. �Please remember I love you all... well almost all...�

So keep playing you punks
