sometimes, i wish i could get a g1 imp within reason. not because i want one, mind you; just to get DMs asking for it from people like warriorjames and be able to tell them to fuck off within my rights.
Ever think he may have made that whole story up to hide RMT transactions? It's very likely at least one of the deals he made for his most recent imp was of that nature. RMT traders lie like a rug about their activities when the opportunity presents itself.
a majority of Warriorjames' G1 Imperials are Real Money Trades. this was well documented and tracked years ago through chats, screenshots, and cross-site testimony. there was also the website where the owner visited flightrising, offering her G1 imperials for her website's currency. if my memory is right warriorjames was involved with that but flightrising restricted cross-site trades with that adoptable site IF my memory is correct
when i had an Imperial Scroll, Warriorjames personally made an offer to me many years ago asking to speak off site about it. i declined. i also reported him.
due to his trades happening off site and Flight Rising official policy of not stepping in he has not been banned

Crazy how you can just get away with blatant RMT if you just organize it off-site
frankly is the devs really cared they could just ban him without giving a reason, but they don't care enough, they buy probably a buttload of gems so it is good for them
Not sure how making up stories about his debt would cover up RMT transactions, especially since he said in a forum post he'd spent thousands on his imps as "serious investments."

a bit late to this thread but it would be nice if we could rearrange/organize scries and dressing room outfits

Meh, if he was serious about them being "investments," he wouldn't breed them. He's just trying to dress up his pixel dragon addiction.
I believe you are talking about Khimeros and its owner, Onyx.
I could be misremembering, but I thought that she went to FR to offer rare/impossible to find items, such as gen 1 imps, to artists to get them to draw assets for Khimeros.
Since I had quit Khimeros by that point I don't know if cross site trading is allowed or not, and it could be something else that you are talking about.

It's interesting because I've heard of someone submitting a screen from a RMT site to the staff and getting someone banned for it, without any onsite proof. They were trying to sell their whole account or something. They do take screens from discords and RMT sites seriously when shit's flying around for USD.
Why WJ seems to be above the law after all these years and all of their scandals is beyond me. He and Shrine essentially scammed the userbase out of hundreds of thousands of gems for that fake raffle they conducted, and they shouldn't have seen the light of day after that.

Onyx was hatching a scheme to get people to spend holy matrimony USD on Khimeros currency, to pay for her G1 imps and whatever else KS related or rare entities she was selling. This was essentially a loophole to get people to pay USD to her for her FR stuff, because she's the one that recieves most or all of the RLC earnings from Khimeros.
FR staff eventually had enough of it and banned her not that long ago. Good riddance I heard that was a nasty person to interact with.

To your point, I'm not sure if she was also trying to get art slaves on FR, but there was a rumor going around that she refused to pay artists who made pieces for her Khimeros site. So she has definitely tried to get free labor out of talented people before.
So I know that fire was thrown for a weird loop with the person that was handling the OOF vanished but I really hate that the the list of events for Fire flight on dom watch doesn't feature the 50/50. I just found out the 50/50 is being hosted by someone not on the AA.
So in fire, even if you put together an amazing event it only counts if you are part of the AA. VYPERSENSOR's 50/50 is amazing and I hope they get plenty of love. Thankfully the ones who run dom watch like Sadistic actually see events run by members of a flight as important
screw off AA

Except someone in Fire DID tell Duchess to step down. I saw it publicly on the discord. It seemed so out of pocket for the user who did it who was usually friendly that it took me by surprise. The venom in that user was so out of left field that I seriously thought she'd been hacked. Then Duchess [remember folks duchess runs the discord] removed that user and all of the posts from them that discredited them. That user was always helpful and I really wish someone else had helped them or listened to them.
They left fire shortly after that and I remember DM'ing them. They said they had tried to talk about it but because they called her out on DM's on FR the user had gotten a warning on their account from mods. They literally could not keep fighting and so they left fire altogether. I saw the account of that user go dead for months before they picked it up again and I miss them so much.
People telling fire to stand up to Duchess, it's been done and it results in people losing interest when no one supports them. I wish I had supported that user almost a year ago but the way they snapped so out of the blue threw me for a loop. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more deleted comments that I didn't catch. I really miss a few of the old members of the AA but it feels like Duchess is just this powerhouse who has the mod support too.
I really think that the whole flight needs a new bank and to just cut their loss. It's been almost a week since the unexpected vanishing of duchess. She, the items in the account she has for all of fire and the gems/treasure are not coming back. Time to cut our losses and start mad saving for FvW!

honestly I think the simpler answer is just that it's an oversight
Just to add context a large portion of that discord conversation (I would imagine? Unless there's been multiple...) as well as the board that was made publicly in FRD about Duchess and the AA (so if that was your friend, it may have started in DMs but it sure didn't end there lol) was leaked to this site via screenshots/archive. Just gotta go back and find the thread from that time period if you wanted to relive those "precious memories".
Most people who have been around a while are well aware forcing a change of leadership in Fire has been attempted but never succeeded.

i agree that usually when this happens it's because of miscommunication / the link was never sent to the right people / the link was sent at the last minute when the post was already coded up
however it is kind of strange in this case considering dom watch hosts had compiled the event links like a day before fire actually coded their post anyway, i'll give em that. they were truly Right There to copy

Which is why it's been frustrating to a lot of players. I really hope when/if duchess comes back it's with an 'I'm so sorry and I think this proves I need to step down'
but i am more on the side of the anons that are saying that she will come back with a sob story and anyone who tries to say something will become the bad guy in fire

How divided is the rest of the Dom team on this? Because if they present a united front, what can she actually do?
If they can keep it to the practical stuff on FR proper ("This is a recurring thing, and so we've decided to move the Dom bank." etc.), surely that's not deserving of a warning.

She can keep all the stuff she has that fire has donated?

Well, the alternative is letting her stay on and continuing her crap, which isn’t helping either. If embers have such short-term memory over the repeated times she apparently went AWOL during pushes and continue to enable her with her sob stories then I’d say they reap what they sow.

From what people are saying here, she seems to already be keeping some of it, never mind the extra work and loss of goodwill/Dom chances she's causing. And if she refuses to give it back, that should make it even more obvious to others that it's right to make the change.

Thanks, yeah, I tried khimeros, and I loved the art style (mainly because the same artists who orignially worked on Khimeros also worked on a different site I liked), and the actual site wasn't bad, but couldn't take the chat, and did get some vibes from onyx I didn't like.
Ah, thanks, as I said, I only heard the surface of it, and didn't really look into it.
And yeah, she is the sole owner of khimeros (from what I have heard) and there aren't any artists working directly for Khimeros (or coders etc... that was one reason why khimeros never had an feature update, I saw something about onyx talking about being able to buy assets to turn into art for the site, or hiring a coder, and I guess she didn't want to give up enough power to hire a coder) just people doing the 'custom items'.
