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?

I think Lightning deserves better dom leads. Whether they win or lose isn't necessarily a reflection of how good a person Rowan is, even though it may feel like it. I like to think that if Lightning had managed to win, the rest of us could congratulate them without making it about just one or a few people.

If lightning had won, I would have congratulated them for an amazing fight with no preparation.

One jackass is not an entire flight.

Whether they win or lose is bigger than just Rowan, for sure, and the sparks exalting deserve congratulations no matter what.

However, salt is a powerful motivator that cannot be overlooked, even more so in a close fight. Rowan did considerable PR damage. This is not about how good of a person they are, it's about how bad of a job they do and the goodwill they ruined as a Lightning dom (merc lead) representative.

The bank mismanagement issues raised before are also quite relevant, especially considering the rumors that Lightning bank ran out of money and people spent their own to cover. I hope at least this accountability question has gotten addressed in-flight...

I'm a spark and I haven't heard a peep from Rowan since all the drama went down. In fact, from what I saw in the Discords and in the forums this push was mostly led by new dom leads (comicsans, kywren, ern). Here's hoping they manage to push Rowan out or something, because I bet you're right that Rowan has hurt our rep.

Our banker posted a video walkthrough of the dom bank, there were no shenanigans that I saw. So I'm chalking that one up to spreadsheet errors and people trying to start shit.

NAYRT and somewhat unrelated

just a big compliment to your new dom leads, they seem very pleasant. Ern and Kyrwen especially!

yes, this is very true. i'm quite certain a good number of the mercs/merc leads helping water wanted to see lightning beat SOLELY bc there's so much salt directed at rowan. the best PR move lightning dom could make rn would be kicking him off the team.
