Let's face it, a reply of "Sorry but I will not approve that.

Something about making sure that areas with several very geographically close lodges with lots of member cross pollination not over saturating the region with specials. Or not impacting each other's conventions that happen either the same weekends or back to back ones.
Because permission is required, it tacitly implies that permission could be denied.
The only thing I disliked about the denial, was how brief it was with no explanation attached.
But my distaste for that is completely buried under a mountain of disgust in the blatant threats and insults tossed about by professionals.
OP and pilers on, you've really, really done your players a huge disservice by acting in this manner. The only outcome I can see, is that permission is fully denied. How could they do otherwise without telling anyone who doesn't gain permission, that all they need to do is trash the RVC and Paizo publically to get what they want?
