It's under 90G right now, whereas the damn budgies are inflating by the minute. I'd buy while the Galore ones are lowering the price rather than grinding, and sell any budgies you have for 30+ G each.

Love all the new friends, though I am biased towards the cockatiel and budgie apparel owning a 'tiel and having had budgies in the past.

has it even flipped? i'm so bored by this ngl

Nope. And I don't think it will. I understand Shadow is trying, but it really looks like Ice is both the smaller flight and better prepared before the battle began.

I'm cheering the underdog on, but they are not in a good spot.

Ice also has a lot more OOF support, just look at total raffle tix leaderboard.
From the time of posting:
Ice's #1 Most Dragons Sent Total has 4500. Shadow's #1 has 1300.
Ice #2 also has over 4000. Shadow's #2? 700 something.

I thought Shadow, as the underdog would have a lot more support. I don't understand why the difference is so huge.

My first time commenting here: I’m surprised too. I’m told Ice’s raffles are just better, but I dislike raffles and never participate in them so I wouldn’t know how true that is.

Ice's receivers are all either slow as fuck or go offline more than 15mins after PAs have been sent. Being the smaller flight means you don't have to put in any effort I guess oop

I think it's that Ice managed better prizes and badges on the whole.

I haven't had any trouble with them, could be lucky timing of course.

On a very petty note: This is the first time I've not thrown my support entirely behind one side of a battle (both flights are so appealing to me, I can't choose, the only matchup I'd have this problem with). When I'm opening up both Ice and Shadow's posts in quick succession, it drives home how very very very handy it is that Ice has the spreadsheet quicklink right there in the top menu. If I were going to ditch the impartiality, that would probably be the deciding factor in where I sent my dragons.

sa

No shade (heh) on Shadow, but I've always majorly appreciated it when a post is set up this way, and they aren't always. I just usually don't notice the contrast as much since I'm seldom looking at two posts in the same week.

Also have not had any trouble with any receivers this week.

Remember VonGacy from that infamous group that got banned almost everywhere on discord for saying the n slur with a hard r? For spitting a bunch of transphobic shit? Well, they're back to actively playing. Didn't even change their username. Yikes.

How kind of them not to change their handle so we can find and block them easily ♥

... you know what anon? you're right

I already blocked everyone from that list at the time, but damn, the sheer gall you'd need to have to come back with the same name. I guess that makes sense if you're lord of edge mountain with no shame.

Disgusting ass subhuman lol

I have been supporting both throughout the week and while Ice did tend to make me wait longer on average, both flights perfectly serviceable. You must have really bad luck or something :(

(I tend to send dragons early afternoon too)

My dear nonnie's....what's your fave? I am curious as to what everyone here has in taste in UMA/fest items. Please share as many as you want. I thirst for knowledge!

I absolutely ADORE neon/glitchwave type skins. I'm picky though, it can't just be some random RGB bars across the dragon and lines and an old school windows error message. It needs to have some theme or technological aspect to it. Highly recommend checking out bitmap and uwuloo.

I think a bunch of them continued to play, even during/after the initial revelations. I gave them a block when it first came out, so iirc they were still a little active because I think I saw them around on the forums every so often.

yeah evigt still hung around in ibaz. ew.

I've had my eyes on this person for a while after noticing their x64 bogsneak raffle. Which already seemed very suspicious. Between when they joined and started the raffle was 20 days which is in no way enough time to get all the bogsneak eggs by yourself.

https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/3057546/1#post_3057546

Someone did ask how they got so many in a short amount of time, they said they did G&G everyday to get all the eggs. If you do the math it was roughly ~20 days from when they started to when they made the raffle, from only doing G&G is 1.5mt which gets you roughly ~23 eggs. Assuming they had all the mats and didn't have to buy any. Now I know they could have bought gems but it just seems very unlikely to me.
They are also not recording the tickets bought in any public way, and not providing any proof to them actually having all the eggs. It's really not that hard to take a screenshot, even if it's a faked one. Their raffle just seems like a huge scam tbh and I would avoid it at all costs.

They are also using bases without credit.

https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/adopt/3068187/1

They say they will credit when asked, but finding the artist on DA says to credit them regardless.

https://www.deviantart.com/ferwild-adoptables/art/F2U-SpoopyFox-Lineart-764292179

Also in the artists TOS for the adoptable says to not use it for commission work, but yet it was being used in shadow foddart.

https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/3066362/2#post_49311665 (however they DID give credit in the foddart thread.)

I'm not sure if shadow as anything against using bases in foddart that aren't yours, even though it was still pretty cheap I still feel like its wrong to do. They have a toyhouse account and seem to have the same issue of not crediting artists on there, even when asked to credit the artist, they still haven't.

https://toyhou.se/Foxie

At first I thought they were some kid who didn't know better but according to their toyhouse they are 22. More than old enough to give credit to artists. I haven't seen anyone mention them, so I'd thought I'd bring it up and see what other people thought.

You must use archived links. It’s the new rule.

NAYRT

Here, since you wanted them, I archived the (relevant) pages from both the giveaway thread and the art thread.

Giveaway thread: https://archive.md/gLu2w / https://archive.md/jAK0f / https://archive.md/7diFy

Art thread: https://archive.md/3MAy7

And for good measure, the base. https://archive.ph/3a8qp - and here's the shadow foddart page with said credit too. https://archive.md/svJLp

Personally, I'm more curious if this is the same OP from the FR tumblr? Or if OP just wanted to cross-post... that's neither here nor there, though.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have 64 eggs. IMO, their plan was probably to get the remaining ~40 while they waited for the 5k tickets.

If you ask me, their behavior is more 'innocuously shady' than outright scammer... for now, anyway. The lack of a response re: ticket count & screenshot seems to be typical for them, given someone in their profile comment section was barking up their tree a whole month later. https://archive.md/A7Zsd

ack thank you. I thought I read all the rules I guess I missed the one about archived links, and no I'm not OP from the tumblr. I saw the post and got curious and decided to look at their profile

BINGO
