...I'd like to ask three questions, so I can get some community feedback. I mean, I've been here for about a month now, but I've been binging on the PPC the entire time and I've read the permission rules, so I believe I know what I'm doing. I REALLY don't want to look like I'm rushing things, unlike a certain individual who was sent away recently.

1.) Will I need to write both the control prompt AND the random prompt for the permission request? And since I already have the control prompt beta-reviewed and fixed up, is it acceptable to post it for public review?

2.) Is it acceptable to claim an RC number prior to obtaining permission? If so, may I kindly take RC 227 (in reference to my Pokedex number)?

3.) I wonder if I can get official permission by the end of this month, seeing as I feel prepared. However, if I can't get permission at this time (given that again, I've only been on the Board for a month or so and most Boarders take a bit longer to know the community), would this coming autumn term (i.e. sometime mid-September) be acceptable instead?

Thank you for your response. Lookin' forward to doin' business with ya! :)
