Droplet here (not the same one as above) - Yes sometimes we decide if we see ourselves place high up on the board to try and score among the top 3, and yes we like to throw in extra fodder for that, and we put all of our effort into big Conquest pushes that are vs
But that does not mean we cannot have fun joint pushes that aren't us going all out (esp with an already pointed out big Vs battle happening later this year). Wind and Water is still aiming to score first, conquest PRIMARILY MEANS THAT, you are all just complaiming cause you can't cash out on us
Like Water has been pretty much the one flight of it's size making big Conquest pushes every 1-2 years, and I have not seen any other flights recently do that. Hell I would love to profit from other flights Conquesting as well in a big Vs manner, but you wont see me whining when its primarily been our flight doing big yearly pushes that got intense lately.
You all have to step up your game in other flights + the nonny calling people vultures for constantly wanting to profit off other flights doing big pushes but not pitch in effort and energy into their own flight's to have equally intense pushes is correct.
Also if this makes you claim we are not as much into Dom then idk what to tell you, like that is the stupidest takeaway from all of this
ayrt at what point did i say any of that. i said that waterdom frequently pitches itself as a dom-heavy flight, so of all the flights, i completely believed water would want to go for two battles and could handle it. obviously i was wrong to assume that, but that is in no way equivalent to me saying "hurhur water SUX!!!"
Literally no one is saying that you can't have fun joint pushes that aren't going all out. If it had been labelled as such, no one would be giving you shit. Expecting two flights that are conquesting at the same time to have PBs is not wildly unreasonable. Other flights wanting to take part in your push, whether they want money or badges or something completely different is not unreasonable. The shitty attitude from Water members in this comm is completely off-putting. You may want to think about that. Particularly since you have a big battle coming up in October and those "vultures" might decide to support any flight that isn't yours.
despite wind being the larger flight it only had one public member in this thread and it was to clarify that there were no PBs, whereas theres been multiple droplets stomping their feet here and on SMR because people had the gall to be disappointed.
i dislike fires history with shitty dom orgs but im starting to dislike water's attitude a lot more. if they really think of me as a vulture i'll happily go elsewhere.
If us expressing frustration at people being immediately going "Oh we are disappointed cause we cant cash in" and have a fun push translates to you as "feet stomping" then it's pretty sad. I am also out of this thread and will refrain from making further posts
yeah it probably is best to stop before you put your foot further in your mouth. there was no need to feel frustrated by this, you can have your fun push and its a bit disappointing to hear that water is apparently so hooked up to ARR that a handful of anons being confused - not furious, not accusatory, just confused - was enough to apparently ruin it for wateranons.
i'll "cash in" my icky yucky vulture fodder with fire, thanks.
If two frustrated droplets tired of being dogpiled and shit on for people misunderstanding Dom watch's terrible formatting is enough to drive you to supporting the other flight, I think you were already looking for a reason to do that.
I will say, the term vulture was harsh, but I was just exhausted of being treated like it's our fault that other people misunderstood and we're obviously lazy cheapskates and not trying hard enough. I shouldn't have used that term. I am just sick of feeling like I failed somehow. No public buy just keeps being thrown in our faces here and on Tumblr. And it always seems directed at water, rather than both sides of a mutually planned event. Wind is just as responsible for the lack. They're obviously just smarter than I am in that they aren't wading in here.
Feel free to shit on me all you want. I'm just leaving. I give up. It's not even worth trying because no matter what, someone is angry or disappointed in what I say. Including me. And I just feel miserable.
It was just luck of the draw on who replied. If I'd checked this place at the beginning of the thread, there would have been at least one Wind person in the mix. As it is, I definitely don't want to dip my toes into this thread in any meaningful way lol. No hard feelings against you or your flight from me, I hope the rest of the week is more enjoyable! <3

(Anonymous) 2023-06-05 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)Those insults peppered in from water-anons' posts certainly aren't helping their cause.
That said it would be funny if Earth snatches 1st/2nd spot from them this week. Pretty unlikely seeing that they're conquesting next week though.
