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.)

Most flights wouldn't copy another flight's sheets anyway - it'd cause conflict between the dom teams so it's pointless when you already have your own. Though Fire Dom (which I think is the only team that locks their sheets like this) is weird so who knows

it feels like firedom is obsessed with secrecy in ways that are actively detrimental to them. hiding their dom bank numbers and items from their own flight, keeping their sheets excessively locked down, and repeatedly dumping unnanounced pushes on other flights...

Dom used to be like that, though. I remember when it was a huge secret, not even discussed in forums, but in the flight Skype chat lol.

yeahbut thats not really how modern dom is, with its current focus on transparency between flight members and OOF. kinda sad that firedom seems stuck in the past... makes sense that a lot of the big exalters left after the flameforgers disaster last summer.

Earth dom is really similar, super secretive, and won't tell people anything. not that they really have to be since the ratio hands dom to earth whenever they want it, but they're definitely stuck in the old dom mindset

DA If you don't mind nonny, can you elaborate a bit on that? For instance are they only like that about sheets, or does it extend towards things like...not really being very transparent with the flight about things such as potential dom battles and the behind the scenes there (such as if there even will be one) or for instance if some of the dom leads are having rl issues and that's why there's a bit less reliability. Can you tell these are specific examples? /s I've been thinking of leaving my own flight and earth was one of the ones i was considering.

if you want to join a weirdly underrated dom flight I'd really recommend Water. I have no idea why it fails to come up when people are talking about the best dom flights. I guess we fly under the radar!

we beat earth in 2021 and are fighting fire this October, so it's a great time to join. we tied with earth for most 1st placements last year (7) after plague (9), and came in 3rd behind earth and light for most placements total.

our dom leads are interested in analyzing data, optimizing how things work, and innovating new strategies, and they share all this info with us frequently. it's very easy to get involved and they're supportive of non-leads doing their own programs. the community is small and friendly and everyone is chill af.

I moved to Water because I wasn't happy with my flight's dom scene and it's really exceeded my expectations. if you find dom interesting, and especially if you're a long time player looking for a new sense of investment in the game, I think you'll be happy here!

Ayrt (or even if you are referring to me i'll answer anyways lol) thank you water nonny, this kind of confirmed my suspicions as where best to go next! I'm so glad to hear all of that, even though i'm low key "retired" from dom, i do still value transparency and honesty in dom, and what you mentioned sounds like the types of things my flight used to do, and used to like to do, before all the dom leads had either life happen or just gave up caring and didn't bother to tell anyone any of this lol.

ayrt

ahh yeah that's too bad :/ I feel for people who want to be more into dom but are stuck in less active flights bc of lore or friends or other reasons. interestingly we have a few "retired" dom leads from other flights who've come through on vacations or for longer stays, so you should fit right in lol.
