With summer break coming soon, the annual HCF invasion is on it's way. It is extremely important that we stay out of it. Do not participate in battles, and do not insult and/or taunt anyone from either side. We want to remain neutral here; let the world police & hcf fight it out on their own. If you must sell gear or supplies, be open to selling to both sides; don't pick sides.

I've been here for quite a few of these wars, and I have managed to keep my city (Commonwealth, at the time) from getting raided, while other cities got stomped. This is because I have made sure to be nice to both sides. I don't provoke them, and I don't show favoritism.

You will see a lot of injustice, and a lot of cruelty from both sides. You're going to want to do something about it, but there's nothing you can do. Just let it happen, and once summer break is over, they'll go back to school and leave us alone. When this is over, other cities will be sweeping up the ashes and breaking their citizens out of vaults, while we continue to enjoy the game in the way we want to.

In the meantime, do what you can to make yourself less of a target. Make your homes defensible, and reinforce your chests with diamonds. If you need obsidian to secure your house with, ask me or Xavter. I will also gladly advise you on how to make sure it's secure.

Remember, this is temporary. We are not in a state of emergency, we just need to make sure it doesn't get to that point. The best way you can do that is to not provoke anyone. Avoid drama as much as possible.
