I've mentioned this back in August when it came up. Flayon mentioned he wrote like 3 whole paragraphs to convince management to get him perms for the game. I don't recall any other member ever mentioning writing up a written request, they probably just filled out the mandatory request form or asked their manager to do it in the meekest way possible. The one Japanese Salaryman they have handling the game perms for the company probably has other jobs to do and if he sees that they just filled out a form with no written request, he just says "Fuck it, that's extra work, if they don't care enough to make an argument, why should I care?".
This is why I bully you.
