DA

Also a flipper, and you hit it on the nail. I've bought some dragons that people would think at a first glance "oh god that's ugly," and sold them for over 250kt. I've never sold a double/triple either. I haven't sniped any, and any double that I bought, they were expensive and are kept for myself.

I only buy less than 50k/g in value, and I never exalt flip candidates either. I'm a pretty patient person, so they usually sit at a price for a while, then every few weeks, I gradually drop their price, until I feel like they've hit a good price floor. Then I keep them there until they sell, generally to good homes where they go become pretty (which tbh is the highlight of flipping, seeing what happens to them gene-wise).

I flip fodder g1s I find on AH and the pastels sell ok. I rarely exalt, and usually I just lower the price until they go... though sometimes that's because the fodder floor price goes up.

SA

I also get attached to some of them, so I list those at really high prices until I decide I actually want to keep them or loose interest and lower the price. I've had one or two actually sell unexpectedly while listed at the high price.

This is about to be a shitshow, lol. I tried archiving but Wayback Machine has a 7 hour wait time right now. I doubt any forum mods will let it stay up that long.

I know this is the guy that was super salty about repeat festival winners, but based on smr there's more drama about them making people leave the discord server??? can someone give a summary I need the tea

ok normally i just giggle and roll my eyes at FR drama, but this user's logic is just so baffling that i can't keep my mouth shut this time.

they go from saying the lack of straight/cis vistas are discriminatory against straight/cis users ("they don't need labels") to saying that they are discriminatory against LGBTQ+ users ("straight is standard") to making the ridiculous claim that users will assume that a dragon is straight/cis if they're not using one of the pride vistas... then they top it off with how they just want their dragons to be uniform in vista.

what a ride.

I didn't see any screenshots but there's a couple SMR posts and comments that describe them as being obnoxious af on discord:

h from light, after spending months being a rude cunt both openly and vaguely to me and a bunch of skin artists on discord despite being told to stop repeatedly, just got banned for multiaccounting (presumably bc the thread they made calling out a bunch of artists by name probably got them reported a lot and drew attention to their multiaccounting) and it is SO funny to me. I have never felt this much schadenfreude on this game ever.

brightmyth banned?

(Anonymous) 2023-03-31 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
does anyone know if brightmyth was banned/what he was banned for? his profile is unsearchable + his dragons no longer have like buttons. seems a little weird to do to him after they just picked one of his skins for the fest.

Re: brightmyth banned?

(Anonymous) 2023-03-31 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
no idea/proof, just theorizing, but brightmyth did post in that imp scroll sale thread about having pure G for a g1 imp. bmt involved, perhaps?

Might have been something they noticed because of the win. Plenty of people get away with breaking rules until they do something to get attention on them?

His skin shop is completely gone. Link to it on his profile goes to a 404.

I get "Sorry, this seller's auctions cannot be purchased at this time." When I try to buy one of his listings. Looks like a ban :p

Lol maybe staff got touchy about someone openly complaining about the fact that the skin contests are honestly a bit scammy. Paying someone 20 dollars for a professional looking asset that the site owns all rights to and profits from... 👎 No wonder the amount of contests entries per fest has gone down.

I wonder about the possibility of staff being aware of some BM trading on BM's end, or maybe funneling, but not doing anything about it until now.

i really dont think staff is sensitive/stupid enough to outright and publicly ban someone for statements like this. if anything they would shadowban him from winning skin contests. people bitch and moan about skin contests onsite all the time and dont get banned for it unless if theres other clear ban-worthy activity, like that user who got banned for the mini callout in their post about contest winners

To be fair, the word plague isnt any specific illness. It’s a way of describing one. Much like pandemic is. I’m sure you’re thinking of the bubonic plague, but that only has the word in its common name because it was indeed one.

Ayrt

Yeah that's not what I was suggesting, I'm just imagining a possibility where they could have been aware of something like BMT or funneling and didn't bring the hammer down on him until today. (since he was profitable lol)

Weird that they deleted his whole skin thread shop. I'm really curious what went down.

ayrt

ahh, i see what youre saying. apologies for misreading ur message!

i do agree w/ you though, the skin shop being deleted is odd. skins are comparably high-ticket items and i assume bring in gem purchases to the site. with brightmyth being a prolific and popular accent maker, i assume the violation was pretty undeniable for admins to consider a ban and potentially take some financial hit

Re: brightmyth banned?

i wonder if it has anything to do with staff being more harsh on the face replacement types of skins. still though, feels weird to ban for that...? but i cant think of anything else

Re: brightmyth banned?

(Anonymous) 2023-03-31 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, id imagine if they wanted to crack down on "face" skins they would be handled in a similar way as that gun skin from a bit ago. also there'd be a lot more skin artists being banned lol

not saying its impossible that this is the reason, it just feels a bit far-fetched. my money is on something happening behind the scenes because ur right, theres no obvious public thing hes done
