The 50/50 was on the Dom Watch last time I checked??
Just because there was no visible evidence doesn't mean there was no evidence on site.
When there is pictures matching the user's inventory that can be compared to site and they give too many details, it's not unreasonable to act on the evidence.

tundra fair looks better than normal flair imo. I put it on my tundra because of how subtle and how it looks like a starry night without being cluttered like constellation
I think that conversation started in dm's where a user who covered all of the out of flight prizes that duchess coded and promised to pass out but didn't. The user wanted Duchess to turn over all of those prizes to someone else and step down as Dom leader. Duchess said something along the lines of 'since this user covered the prizes, now Duchess didn't need to give up the prizes.' She refused to reimburse the user who covered for her absence or to give the items back to dom. The user had basically said 'I got this for now, just when she shows back up, lmk'
Well with that response it burst from dm's into public chats, then onto the site. The user posted a public call out page that a mod was quick to take down but not before the user provided screen shots of the conversations and then... got an official warning for inciting harassment or some bs and went to another flight
All the prizes in the oof are lost to embers I think. Duchess isn't coming back

DA
That's insane that Duchess just straight-up stole and wasn't kicked off AA immediately. Other dom teams would've sent her packing the second that sentence left her mouth

nayrt
Because Fire is a flight of pushovers and let this happen apparently. The more ember anons speak about Duchess and her shenanigans, the more I think a compilation of all the screenshots of her crap is in order. The info seems all over the place that it's no wonder that embers forget that they're getting fleeced for the nth time.

Noxtide on skydancers look horrendous and i will die on this hill. I love noxtide. I fucking hate how it looks on SDs.
forgot to change the title thingy. my bad
Wait, sorry if my reading comprehension is off it's getting late here. Does this mean that the winners of the OOF raffle won't get anything, because Duchess is holding onto the prizes? That is awful...
i'll admit, it gives me a bit of a chuckle when i see someone posting on a thread without realizing they've been blocked by OP. but with this one i'm scratching my head, because there's the added detail of having this image (https://imgur.com/p6HdX9V) as their signature - a screenshot of a clicked-to-highlight text file called "people who have me blocked.txt"
here's the post where i noticed (https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/3255404/3#post_54700794) - it's from a month ago but came up as part of a thread advertising some still-overpriced oldies that was back on the front page of the dragon sales forum, lol. the text, written by @/okurimono, reads "hey, i can't seem to view your dragons at all? i was interested in checking some out."
is there something in particular about this person that would cause a notable amount of people to have them blocked? user #588835, okurimono - https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/588835
right now their broadcast message is "i must be a clown, because my life is a joke LOL" and their clan profile says only "(i'm fine btw, broadcast message is more of a joke about my bad luck)"
perhaps i'm a dramamonger, but it feels like there might be a story here.

They used to be tropicoolfish, I remember them posting a few rude/almost troll-esque posts a few months ago.

I also have bad reading comprehension but I thiiiink they got their prizes because User XYZ bought them all with their own money to hand out, believing that when Duchess returns, she would reimburse them. She refused to.

da yes, this is correct

I believe the question the OP of this subthread is asking is, what about the prizes from this raffle? Do the packs advertised represent items/currency Duchess is holding, and which are therefore in limbo unless she A) comes back and B) is willing to relinquish them?
I doubt another individual Ember would be willing to replace them out-of-pocket after what apparently happened last time (and I certainly don't blame them), but that being the case, it seems like the raffle is not proceeding entirely in good faith. I don't care all that much personally, I participate in raffles mostly for fun, but it's going to hurt the flight's credibility a lot if they don't end up being able to make good and a disclaimer regarding the present uncertainty on the raffle thread might perhaps be wise.

it's in dw's main post, not in the fire res post
It's probably a better idea to not replace anything Duchess is supposed to be holding. Either the public pressure forces her to come back and distribute everything, or the raffle will fail spectacularly and very publicly with exactly one person to blame for it all. The conversation around replacing Duchess will be much harder to suppress if the second happens, which I suspect it will at this rate.

RIP to any support for Fire in FvW later this year though. Granted, not that I thought Fire was gonna put up much of a fight in its current state, it'll be even worse if they're restructuring

OP!anon - thanks for the explainer. yooo that old clan profile text is wild.
"leaving the site, good riddance to me and my sad toxic self, woe is me i'm asking for sympathy and not being subtle about it
anyways bye"
WOW. at least they say they're only 19. plenty of time to move past the toxicity.
the whole hullabaloo of people freaking out & lobbing accusations at staff because they couldn't get 34 gem-gened Sandsurges within the first 3 hours of the breed being released was... ridiculous. this person's posts on the topic:
"this is why we can't have nice things"
&
"this entire sandsurge outrage is making me want to delete my account, how can i contact staff?"
it's a yowza from me on that one. perhaps another player for the blocklist.

I feel like that's a sunk cost at this point. If Duchess stays on through that battle, there are likely to be more problems throughout, and Fire won't do well. If they manage to kick her out, there will also be problems, but they can point out that the flight is under new management and trying hard, and people may be more willing to send them dragons. In-flight morale will probably be improved too, and that's a big factor.

Fuck with OOF and she’d (and the entire flight would) pay dearly.
Even if she does come back and distribute the prizes, at least the rest of the flight isn’t out whatever’s in the raffle prize list and they can think about starting a new bank with a fresh slate then.

oh yeah I didn't mean to suggest they should keep her on, just that it'll be rough for fire's reputation on-site. But you're right, people would be more willing to support a new team I'm sure.

SMR is saying Fire is out of Fire v. Water officially. Can any embers confirm?
