I think you are the first person to EVER mention this.

Official word from MDKII is that asking for mananger's approval for a friendly is not how they want to proceed.
How else can they do it and still make managers happy? I haven't a facking clue.

To me, it seems like the only solution.

Help me out here, what are their other options?

1) send email to Obama at the white house and ask him for friendly approval?
2) Stop friendlies altogether?
3) Start calling them UN-friendlies - they are unwanted of course
4) really, I cant think of another valid method for the friendly situation.

Anyone?
