Huh, interesting, thanks! If it's not being too nosy, can I ask if there were IF raffles in those pushes?
Like, I get why announcing an IF conquest without some kind of incentive is risky; if you do try that and then don't pull it off, it demoralizes everybody, where profit pushes aren't expected to be successful for anyone besides Earth/Light/Water. (Although I think it used to be different.) But it would provide some good data if it were occasionally attempted, and would be almost as exciting as a battle (but much cheaper!).
(Traditional conquest/fest pushes are boring as hell, imo. Yeah, you get a week of benefits, but as long as you put in a modicum of effort it's a foregone conclusion, so there's no reason to get hyped or keep your eyes peeled on the dom standings.)
There are raffles, usually around 20-25 packs. Mostly stuff that is somewhat easily replacable (Genes, coli bosses, Joxar tokens, eliminates) and some lv25 dragons, ocassionally some art.
That said, there is usually around 3-4 weeks preps time where they encourage hoarding fodder. I'm not sure if we can impromptu start a push on Monday and win on a random week.
