Anyone here got a FR crush on someone?

Whether it be a NPC or a player, is there someone you have a fondness for?
(doesn't have to be a romantic crush, can be a 'squish' too!)

Once in a drama screenshot absolutely unrelated to me, I saw someone else mention a crush of sorts on me, so

Do you all see Dominance as we know it ever truly changing?

All this talk about who wants what out of Dom, and knowing that the staff have it on their list of things to rework, do you think the Dom of today will ever change into something truly different? Worse? Better?

Looking at suggestions forum, there have been ideas that, while perhaps doesn't fix all dom, but at least fixes parts of it, so I think it could be improved. Will staff, notorious for not playing the game themselves, pick the good suggestions is entirely another question that doesn't fill me with hope.

I am a huge, huge proponent of 'individual' dom suggestions - exalt shops, player in-flight rankings, etc - because I believe that then I won't have to choose between wanting to be in a flight I love and getting any dom rewards (my flight is not that good at dom while I personally usually get into top 20 raffle senders in most OOF raffles I take part in).

staff has not actually said they will change the dom system itself, just the rankings page. they might change the algorithm but that is not confirmed.

Yes I would love to see individual dom rankings. I wish flight rising had trophies like neopets

I think they know there is need for some kind of shake up there, but their priority is finishing the refactor and adding new features to keep player interest.

The player base is still happily battling in king of the hill so it's not unusable as is. It just needs some minor retooling to counteract some gaming of the flight size mechanics by smaller flights.(Not just Earth. The fact that a larger flight is as much at a disadvantage as it is not exactly great design.)

I don't know if this counts as a crush exactly, but I have a secret fondness for a player who is(was?) a huge opera nerd (like myself). I often wish we could have met in real life--we could have chatted for hours about the subject!

They've been inactive for years now, but sometimes I visit their lair just to look at the beautiful operatic dragons there.

Petty reasons to block people? Spite-naming? Forbidden headcanon? Dressing a dragon in the ugliest possible way?

What is your small secret evil?

I BLOCK anyone whose listings take up more than the first 2 pages of the AH, especially if:
- breaking up stacks to shave the tiniest fraction of cost over the next lowest seller
- starving dragons at the same price as the next lowest seller

Almost everyone that posts or replies to the Salt Mines with their onsite names attached catches a block from me. Stupid takes and drama with a Tumblr spin cringes me out and I never want to interact personally with it.

Yes I know that's hypocritical coming from an AR poster. :P

If you post unanon there, you are proud shit stirrers that give no fucks or oblivious to how it looks.

There is no in between.

If you post to there or dramarising with name attached without it being a simple clarification of your side when you're being falsely maligned, at least.

I see nothing wrong with signing in to clarify or explain false accusations, especially if people name-drop you for blocking in replies, which happens often

Am I the only one getting tired of hearing about Lorwolf going into beta and its honestly boring wolves? And they didn't even give it a unique tag to make it avoidable on the saltmine. I don't fucking care. I am there for Flight rising salt, not dogs on a site that may have vaguely similar emblems for concepts to FR.

Subeta's gossip blog closed down. Does this mean it's officially a dead site? :(

Wank/gossip places closing happens. It's no big deal. This is the second anon comm. Drama rising has had two incarnations, and there's now the salt mine.

I don't know Subeta, but the gossip blog closing isn't that big a deal.

I have nothing against Tserin, but I block/unblock them any time I'm searching for accents, bc their pride glitter accents take up THREE FUCKIN PAGES
