I feel that if you had an issue with the amount we requested you should have expressed that it was too much. That way, I would have known what the problem was and I would have been willing to negotiate a counter-offer. It was my first HM, and I don't really know what is a reasonable amount. I heard that one group got 80 bars for a hazmat roleplay or something, so I based it off of that. My logic was ~9 people, just over 1 mil each. If that was too much, you should have let me know in RP.
I thought SI was required to authorize the granting of rebel access to the HM, but I guess I was wrong on that front. Even so, you still felt you needed senior permission so I stand by my issues with Dredd. If officers are to look to him for advice something needs to change.
