Okay, I went and added us to the list of Bevins requesting a relayer. Here is the reply:
We'll add your bevin to our list. Please make sure someone from your hood keeps it open for us. We'll do our best to send a relayer there. Please just keep in mind that during the events if we don't have enough relayers on duty at the time, we usually go to the bevins on our list with the most population first.
So, couple of things here. If there is "action" in the storyline, we will need bodies in the hood. Assuming you can't get to where that action is, of course

And please make sure, whenever you are in the Nexus, to see if the GB Hood shows on the hood list. If it doesn't, then click on Make Private and then Make Public. This should put it back on the list. If you need any help with this, just send a message to neighbors-someone will be able to cope!
Can't wait to see what is going to happen next!
