holiday stealing

Anyone else wish this would happen at least once? I wanna see the fallout from a flight stealing another flights holiday dominance. How many confused newbies who thought holiday dom was automatic do u think would complain about the "bug"

I don't remember specifics, but there was an incident back in 2015 where Ice threatened to steal Fire's holiday, and they would have done it, easily, with the combination of how dom worked back then, plus all the rich/whales it had.

There was also a RUMOR that Plague was going to push during Thundercrack (in the same year) and the rumor itself made DR EXPLODE with Plague hate.

yeah i really cant imagine this ending positively for the flight that steals dom for the holiday. people would probably avoid supporting their dom efforts moving forward, i know i would.

the chaos would be a headache
but it'd be cute if there was a planned switch

My issue with it isn’t even that people would get mad at the pushing flight, it’s that they would send so much fodder to them. The moment you flip on someone’s holiday, the entire site will rally behind them, so it’s nearly impossible to actually do it. I wish it were, though, it’d be funny.

Just confirmed as Woodland Path update by the scene drop, the monsters are all in the game database already if you want to sneak a peek

I wound't exactly say i wish it would happen, but i do think, if it was somehow managed, the chaos would be *something*

Could you *imagine*. The offending flight would never live it down. The drama'd be dug up every year from then on, istg

Dreams

The live update + the anon who posted about sneaking a peek in the game database randomly brought a dream a had a few nights ago back into my mind.

There was an FR live update and new items were being put in the database as usual, but they were all poorly-drawn, flat colored versions of what the final items were going to be (a la April Fools but slightly more polished). This was an attempt by staff to cover up what the items would look like before the actual reveal. There was a familiar that looked like a chubby plesiosaur (the descrip was a Nessie reference), and I can't remember anything else.

So ig let's make this a dream-sharing thread, whether they're FR-related or not.

lol I legit had a dream where the streams were crossed between Stranger Things, WoW and Flight Rising.

Please don't ask me to explain how it worked, just know the Shadow Monster was replaced with an Emperor and instead of the Upside Down, it was the Shadowlands mixed with it.

It was weird af and I woke up confused as hell lol.

my most vivid FR dream is that they released a prim/sec set that was themed around seaglass, where it made your dragon look transparent and glossy. kind of like if metalloy and capsule combined. was genuinely disappointed when i woke up and years later i still want it lol

I had a dream years ago where I was in the coli when the admins were trying to update something and accidentally set the coli drop rates to 100% for like five minutes. Every single possible drop for every mob, dropped in every battle. Imagine getting an egg for every single elemental enemy. The site exploded with people freaking out about how they were grinding as usual and got so much stuff, people freaking out about how they hadn't been in the coli and missed the accidental bonanza, and of course everyone was trying to speculate about how all those eggs, Eliminates, and other rare drops were going to wreck the economy. The forums were going too fast to keep up with. I basically stowed all the valuables away in my vault to sell when the prices had gone back up, chuckling to myself, then woke up and was very sad to realize it hadn't happened.

This is better overall. It still says low chance, so it's something people have to grind and work for, but it tended to be a really difficult early hurdle for people expanding their dens. I think making it a little easier to get is a good idea.

If they didn't change it, the extra encounters would have made it even harder to encounter, which would suck for hibden

That's pretty much what happened in the incident year one, if my memory isn't failing me.

The offending flight would never be able to win their festival again unless they were Earth, unless they paid ludicrous prices, and flights would push deliberately for their holiday.

This site never forgives or forgets.

I feel like the dom team of the offending flight would be witch hunted off of the site but I honestly don't think there would be sitewide hard feelings after like a year. Kids these days don't even remember he purble

I know people that still hold lightning flight responsible for a dom lead being a shitlord.

I think you underestimate human nature and holding grudges.
