Top ten reasons you didn't get a response to your petition (in game)

[Ezuen]

10.) You accidentally typed /guid instead of /guild.

9.) There is no one online tending the petition queue.

8.) Your petitioning for something we cannot help you with and are now offline.

7.) Your internet connection went out, and somehow its the servers fault.

6.) You logged on only to submit you petitioned then logged off.

5.) You want to change your name to a retarded novelty name.

4.) You have a retarded novelty name.

3.) You were impatient and submitted another petition and now all we can see is "bump for my previous petition".

2.) You're in guild A when the server staff is clearly biased towards guild B, or in guild B while the server staff is clearly biased towards guild A.

1.) You're looking for an IP exemption so you and your brother can play together.

**Partially joking, partially serious**

Huh, I didn't know that the server can only handle one petition per person at a time. Not that I've done the bumping thing.

It displays a compacted version of each petition, however we can only view one completely.

"Hey so I was doing I doing this things in this zone and then this happ....."

"Hey not sure if you saw my first petiton or not but I figured I would..."

looks like:

"Hey not sure if you saw my first petiton or not but I figured I would bump it just in case."

I usually chuck in some !!!1!1!!!!!!'s to make sure everybody knows it is important

I've heard that incorporating a famous line from a 1980's movie helps.

Confirm or deny?

could be they choice not to answer your petition because they dont like you.It should not be that way,But it is.Gm need to be GMs and not players and friends of players..Just my 2 cents.

I respond to everyone I can, even to those who have previously rubbed me the wrong way. Now what order I respond in is a difference depending on the timeliness required by the issue, the chronological order, and previous reputation to me, is up in the air.

If the server goes down for a reset does it wipe or keep the petitions submitted upon coming back up?

Petitions are triaged, not FCFS. The idiot who fell off the boat in timorous comes before the idiot who made a surname while drunk who comes before the idiot who left his pegasus cloak on his corpse and it rotted. The opposing notion is pretty entertaining, however, because I know what Tamiah's really mad about.

If absolutely necessary, we could look in the db and see what the multiple petitions were about if someone spammed in several, but anyone who spams them in is either impatient or telling a life story. As a general rule, it's unnecessary and easier to ask what the hell you were talking about.

I think it would be fascinating if you guys kept logs and notes about the variety of issues which you've had to deal with. Stuff like playerxx complained about <something> in the forums but here's the real story.. Or details about game mechanics (what we thought vs what they really are) Obviously this would be stuff to be published off in the future but it would be a fun read for those of us who will look back on P99's early day with great fondness. The downside is that keeping such notes is yet another thing to do.
Imagine being able to read about such things from SOE about the early days.
