Your guests can't get to the gate to show their invitation.

A DDoS attack are the paparazzi. They aren't invited, and they can't get IN.. The gate is a firewall. It stops them from getting even onto the driveway.. But the people you WANT at your party - I.E., the people who just want to play EQ - can't get to the gate. The DDoS takes up all the street in front of the house.

And to boot, the entire police force (i.e. the service provider) is solely in the market of making money and doesn't really give a shit if you want the paparazzi there or not-- they're going to say it's your problem and fine you unless they leave. The only way they'll do anything about it is if it's in their interest or the interest of the powers which support them.

OH SHIT! I'VE BLURRED REALITY AND ANALOGY AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE AN ANEURYSM!

Thanks for clearing that up and putting it in a context everyone can understand :-)

Ok, so.. Your dealer scored some Pineapple Express.. You want some.. But 5-0 got word of it and have his house surrounded, about to (rather ironically) smoke him out.. You want to get to his house to buy, but can't get past all the uniforms on the street.. So .. Your dealer is the server.. or something..

Mmm.... Cheetos....
