BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

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.

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.

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...
