Maybe i'm playing the devil's advocate here, but:
Drakon1590: (...) so I came up with a solution that you may consider to be sufficient compensation for my request that breaks the rule and is unfair to others.
No offense, but the very notion of breaking the rules makes it already unfair to others. You have your reasons - no doubt about that - but someone took the time to write (or amend) all these rules for good reason and no one should break or bend them else all hell breaks loose.
Drakon1590: I understand, besides, I didn't expect that you could give a different answer.
Understand that if everyone asked the same thing (
and i can already see several people think "...and why not; if finkleroy made an exception for Drakon1590, will surely do an exception for me too"), it would lead to utter managerial chaos and maybe even lead to feud between members. Finkleroy already dedicates lots of time running the giveway, let's not make things more difficult.
