That's worse, though.

this is not better

Light vs Fire 2020 also started the same way iirc, Fire decided to go for Light's pre-planned week. Allegedly they have all these "traditional" pushes but when you actually look at the dom watch archive this is what you find...

Mother's Day
2021 - Fire placed 3rd but not listed as pushing, Shadow conquested for 1st.
2020 - Fire placed 4th but not listed as pushing, Shadow conquested for 1st.
2019 - Fire didn't push, Shadow conquested for 1st.
2018 - Fire didn't push, Shadow conquested for 1st.
2017 - Fire didn't push, Shadow conquested for 1st.
2016 - They battled for it, Fire won.
2015 - Fire didn't push, Shadow conquested for 1st.

Christmas
2021 - Fire placed 2nd on a profit push, Light conquested for first.
2020 - Fire battled Light for it and lost.
2019 - Fire placed 2nd on a profit push, Earth conquested for first.
2018 - Fire battled Shadow for it and won.
2017 - Fire conquested for 1st.
2016 - Fire didn't push in December at all.
2015 - Fire battled Ice for it and lost.

This is not consistent when you compare it to other flight traditions like Valightine's, Shadow's Mother's day push, Earth's Father's day push, Water's New Years push, Decorate the Behemoth... Kinda weird that Fire only has these conquest traditions sometimes, like, when they see another flight going for it and think they can win.

They've got a Christmas push scheduled this year for the week of the 11th to 17th. Kind of interesting that they don't want to go for the week of the 18th - 24th, which is actually before Christ- oh wait, Earth is pushing that week. Fire can't ratio Earth into oblivion so they'll avoid Earth's push this year, but not Shadow's.

Idk, to me it seems disrespectful. If it happened just once it would be whatever but it's a pattern.

What, are we just easy targets now? "Small flight with post-battle bank and size debuff, time to get an easy win!"

Idr who won the first time they did it, but I do know they won the NOTN fight some years back. Even if half of Fire's flight tell the orgs to stuff it I'm still not sure we inklings could win it.

I feel like Fire only pulls "it's a tradition" out of their arse whenever they need to find an excuse for a surprise battle.

At this point, it really looks like a pattern. Add to it that embers weren't polled and some have expressed (I think both on here and SMR) that they'd rather not battle Shadow for Mother's Day... Not a good look for Fire Dom.

I'm in Lightning and pissed off too, our battle with Wind has been listed on dom watch for weeks now and now Fire wants to start a battle with Shadow literally the week before? What the ACTUAL fuck.

AYRT
Looking at this list, it seems that Fire surprising Shadow (or other flight) with a battle is nearly more of a tradition than their Mather and Christmas' "traditions" combined...

Hope you like high fodder prices. That's how you get them. I suggest you guys start prehoarding fodder ASAP, as you won't get it cheap with that.

SA Someone asked if people were polled/wtf is going on and this is a Fire lead's reply:

I sure do hope Fire Dom listens to reason and backs down or reschedules their push because wtf

"Shadow had not announced for that week" yeah but given the fact they've been pushing since 2016 consistently you should've fucking know???

lmao doing something once in 2016 is a tradition now

Doing something once 5 years ago doesn't make a tradition.

Let me say this much: Unless Fire is willing to pay out the ass, they may have issues when Shadow gets the pity support. Including the pity of fire's own members.

A couple of weeks ago, during NoTN, I hatched an XXY white G1. Today I bought an egg on a whim, and I just hatched an XXY antique.

WHY CAN'T I HAVE THIS KIND OF LUCK IN REAL LIFE????

Deleting a photo from any service or the internet does not get rid of it. Uploading anything anywhere will leave traces. If it goes on the internet, it is never gone; there will always be a trail of breadcrumbs leading right back to you, and you can never do anything about it unless the servers are factory formatted or physically destroyed. Since Discord also uses Amazon Web Services (which gets fucked over every week, nowadays), you'd have to wipe AWS, too, and you can bet your sweet ass Bezos and his bozos aren't gonna do that for you, for Discord, or even God itself.

Also, if one of those mods gets their account taken over whether by a mistake of their own or Discord's, and someone sends them their ID? That mod you wrongfully trusted with your ID isn't that mod anymore; it's some rando on the internet who could completely use it for whatever fun purposes, like *scraping for metadata which often contains geolocation information!* If good ol' John McAfee got caught in Guatemala because of a photograph's metadata, you're not fucking immune.

I keep saying it; their heart is in the right place because kids should not be accessing these things, but they do not have the security or the money to be asking anyone for their IDs.

I don't have a horse in this race but it's been a while since there was any dom drama. I keep reading things like "Fire versus Shadow" and thinking wow, when was the last time I heard any dom drama like that?

Ah, going with "tradition", again? Do they not have other excuses....

Uh, Fire would win just because of the size, it doesn't even matter how ardent each flight's trainers are.
Like, shadow is something like 3 times as big as fire, which means that for each dragon fire gets through raffle/ob, shadow would need to get 3. That's rough even with oof probably skewing towards helping shadow against the perceived bullying ..

I came out of the dappervolk craze with roughly 1.2 mil gems. Not sure if that counts because I had "seed money" in terms of what I spent on the DV KS, but technically I did not buy gems from fr (and I can't do art, either.)

Last time Fire surprised us, we (Shadow) flipped them like crazy several times for several hours at times up until last day's evening but yeah, in the end we lost... :/

(Which is mildly hilarious when comparing with our last battle with Ice where we didn't flip at all regardless of better ratio which implies that either Ice is that much better than the so-called powerhouse Fire (likely), or spite and public perception plays that much of a role, or hib-den makes that much of a difference, or something else? idk but it's still funny for me)

Super late, but i decided to scatter my Halloween shadow primal g1 for the hell of it, left off on a colour combination just because I was out of scatters, and now fucking adore that combination and even shelled out for a Reisiger reprint. But you gotta either be prepared to yeet a lot of money, or keep an open mind. Selling might be the safer bet; primals tend to go for above egg price last i checked (but it's been a while)

I'm usually of the opinion that as long as a person is doing all their own work, ie not tracing or stealing other people's shit, reusing an idea is fine. It can get tacky when someone is being really obvious about their source/inspiration, though. Originality may be overrated, but putting your own spin on something is still a good idea.

Filled the "Mods are awful" square because we got a spotlight on SMR ♥

Who hurt you??

Guess who realised 1 min before rollover that she forgot to do dailies today XD oh well

For real. I will be sending to Shadow for sure, but this is some juicy drama lol. Much better than that drawn out, bizarre and miserable-on-both-sides Lightning drama a while back.

BINGO
