📜The Rules of Petition📜

A petition is a request made within authority you have consciously given Me.

Permission.

A privilege.

A change.

A release.

A purchase.

A reward.

An exception.

Something you want Me to decide.

Petitioning should be simple.

First:

Know what you are asking for.

Do not make Me excavate the request from six paragraphs of vague whining.

Second:

Ask respectfully.

Third:

Give relevant context.

If the answer depends on tasks being complete, tell Me whether they are.

If money is involved, know whether it fits your budget.

If the request affects a rule, state which rule.

Fourth:

Do not assume asking guarantees yes.

Your petition creates consideration.

Not entitlement.

Fifth:

Wait.

Do not send repeated messages because My response failed to arrive according to your preferred little timeline.

Sixth:

Accept the answer.

If I say yes:

Thank Me.

Use the permission properly.

If I say no:

Acknowledge it.

Do not immediately begin negotiating unless negotiation was explicitly invited.

If I say:

“Convince Me.”

Now you may argue your case.

If I say:

“Later.”

Wait.

If I say:

“Ask properly.”

You already know what happened.

Fix your presentation.

A proper petition might look like:

“Vampress, may I have permission to [request]?

My required tasks are complete, I have remained within My limits, and I am asking rather than assuming.

I will accept Your decision.”

Simple.

Clear.

Pretty.

Petitioning teaches something valuable:

Wanting does not require taking.

Sometimes wanting becomes more satisfying when you practice asking.
