If there’s one thing I would stress to anybody going up against these NPC bureaucrats, it’s to stand up to them. You look them dead in the eye and you tell them what’s what and who’s who. Don’t bring up lawsuits and procedures, that’s on their side; you tell them that you aren’t playing by their rules. There’s an excellent scene in Tombstone where Wyatt Earp levels his .44 between the eyes of an outlaw and tells him: “Now your friends may get me in a rush, but not before I turn your head into a canoe”. That’s the mindset you have to put on when dealing with an NPC. They’re herd animals, and when you single one out they cower and submit. I’ve done this numerous times without fail, not because I want to, but because if I don’t they’ll just steamroll me and my family.
