I go out of town for 2 weeks and everything hits the fan!?

The very first thing I heard about when getting back and talking to people again was about this. As a reminder, we have a specific rule about staying in a trader menu:

> [@2. Fairplay & Gameplay](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/2-fairplay-gameplay/4361/1):
>
> **2.5** Do not stay for too long in the NPC Trader menu, preventing other players from having trader access! If you get reported for doing this too often and for too long, we will check the logs and take action. Use common sense and be courteous / considerate.
> 
> **Possible Punishment: Prison / Guilty / Temp Ban / Loss of Game Progress**

So let’s just consider this one a friendly reminder and warning that this rule exists. If people are doing it we’ll start kicking from game and issuing temp bans until its not happening anymore.

Cool? \<3
