We play to have fun and some play for the competition and high stakes of 
dedication and skill that a tourney takes. anyone who puts a game before 
real life needs a priority adjustment... renato I believe was an example of 
this.

emergencies happen and I don't feel any player would fault a corpie who 
couldn't make extern due to one.to even suggest that a player would 
sacrifice the health of a child or well being of another to make extern is 
absurd ......things happen all the time that we have no control over.. 
trying to second guess everything and change the edits to accommodate for 
any number of things that MIGHT happen isn't  going to save the game for a 
corp that doesn't have their act together by the time fedparking goes to 
zero.. with only 3 traders per sector in fed, it would only take 1/2 a corp 
to try to force a tow at extern.. there goes your safety.. it would make 
more sense to extend the period of fedspace parking by an extra week or so, 
or even to 30 days then go to no fed for the second 30 days, then to do 
away with it altogether......in 30 days you shouldn't have to rely on 
fedspace for parking anyway....

while it's a game we play for fun and the only thing one wins is personal 
satisfaction and maybe some respect from our fellow players,
it doesn't  mean that anyone wants the game to be easy......
