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.)

^ this. water is gonna crush fire, especially in OOF support because a lot of people don't like fire's dom team

the dom team stuff is so hard to witness. im confident that theres a lot of really passionate and excited dom participants in fire, but if their orgs arent interested in organizing things and are inflexible with funds they're just going to languish. i think it was laivence(?) who made that whole thread around flameforgers outlining all the problems and recommended changes for firedom. it really struck me how the orgs were/are so unwilling to try new things, and i was hopeful that having such an embarrassing callout would be the wakeup call the orgs needed to change things up. i was honestly looking forward to fire v lightning to see if they had made any meaningful changes and if they could hold their own against a somewhat middle-tier dom flight and use their flight size to their advantage but they barely even beat out earth who wasnt even pushing :/ fire members deserve better imo

honestly I do not think fire dom ever planned to properly battle lightning, given that they didn't even talk to lightning's dom team about pushing the same week. It genuinely seems they were hoping to use their size ratio to push Lightning out of 1st without much effort and it didn't play out as they expected. I really do not know what's up with Fire's dom team, they've historically been the sloppiest and it seems the most inflexible dom org. It's so odd

yeah.... i really want to hope that firedom repeatedly dropping battles onto other flights unannounced has to do with their own incompetence/mismanagement rather than maliciously taking advantage of their smaller size. them repeatedly doing this to shadow raises eyebrows though.

in any case im morbidly curious to see how fire v water goes. waterdom has experienced leads, experienced exalters/event runners, and i assume decent bank numbers. i know im likely going to support whoever has the better raffle/prices, so it might be sink or swim (har har) for fire if they cant fundraise to incentivize OOF support to them instead of water.

it's like what happened to lightning - inflexible veterans refuse to step down or grow the organization and the flight just gets stuck

I've heard of several people complaining about arcane dom too

I'm not surprised they couldn't beat lightning bc the latter was taking oof dragons but barely beating earth is worrying, esp bc fire is the next smallest flight
