[mindlessflight]

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?

Again? For the third time? Wow, is "hard-on against Shadow" is pre-requisite for being in Fire?

(reminder: first Fire v Shadow was also a surprise!battle for Mother's Day where Shadow had announced their plans for weeks, second Fire v Shadow was couple of years ago with another surprise!battle before NotN where Shadow also had announced their plans for weeks - both times Fire decided to battle Shadow without Shadow's input)

Wow! I had no idea it went back that far. That's super fucking weird. I'm in Fire and we were never polled on dates or whether we want to battle Shadow at all. I don't think many of us would have chosen to surprise battle them on their annual push, so I guess our dom leads really do have a hate-boner for Shadow and are dragging us along. :')

Here's the announcement post... it was just dropped on us.

Oh yeah, it goes that far back. I guess Shadow is easy to pick on! I doubt Fire would be doing the same if it were another flight (like Light, for example).

The fact they even included that Shadow announced a conquest that week too... The team willingly went for Shadow then?!

AYRT, well, in the name of disclosure - I'm in Shadow and while I have nothing against against random Fire players, your dom "leaders" are certified cunts in my opinion now :|

And in the name of full disclosure, the first Fire v Shadow was dropped on us with the same unfunny "Mather" meme, so your leaders aren't even original with their hateboners which is probably an even worse sin. Where's the drama, the show, the presentation?? Boring and predictable.

I'm mostly in Fire for the lore but I like participating in the big dom events (battles and our festival), and this makes me want to move. This is so petty and rude.

Well, since I immediately shifted into battle mode, my immediate thought was 'great, one less Fire trainer to overcome with our 2.5x population size' lol

But as a second thought, I'm sorry and I hope you find a solution that works for you, I can imagine this is not a situation anyone wants to find themselves where an activity they enjoy gets somewhat tainted :/

and then Lightning v Wind is the next week after, save your fodder ya'll it'll be high. Might see new records

[(Anonymous)]

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???

[(Anonymous)]

lmao doing something once in 2016 is a tradition now

[(Anonymous)]

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.

[(Anonymous)]

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

[(Anonymous)]

well at least i know who i'm going to be pumping full of dragons that week. you can do it, shadow!

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.

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...
