Hey.

Edit 2/1/2023: A new small guideline that has been added to the rules- please include direct links to profiles, especially if the user in question is being shady, since they go 'invisible' when FR locks/bans them.

(It's not mandatory, but it helps folks get those juicy details.)

Gods, reading this as being "an issue" just threw me back in time so hard... it's been years since I was active in dom. This kinda thing would've never been a problem back then. Heck, dom watch is pretty new to me, because I'm an old fart. Knowing when another flight was going to push wasn't a thing, it was hush hush, to the point that if someone made a second account to spy, that was considered foul play (or clever by those who did it, I bet they got a kick out of it, whoever they were)

But gods, I miss the days when FR was new and all it took was for a core group of users to, on the spot, decide to go for it and actually manage to flip the board without massive planning on beforehand. I feel old, but also, I feel sorry for the players who will never get to experience what that was like, because it really was a team sports feeling, it was great. And I miss it.

Dom watch has been a thing since late 2014. And conquesting at the same time without talking to the other conquesting flight has always been an issue/problem. Spying is still considered bad form. I think you maybe have some nostalgia glasses on my friend.

Idk about you but getting together on calm weeks to see if you can flip / get into top 3 is alive and well in my flight's dom community.

And I don't think this Fire/Lightning scheduling thing is "an issue" so much as people are hoping that it will be interesting.
