hi, I'm a droplet. I can confirm that they've backed out, but the announcement in the water flight told us not to announce it publicly until it's also announced in fire. well, i say screw that.
i've moved flights quite a lot, and when i moved to fire i figured i'd stay there. the discord community was genuinely very nice and engaging, but we were held back by duchess so often. while i don't like duchess, i hope she's okay with whatever is going on in her life, but she needs to step down if her life gets in the way of being head dom org this frequently.
personally, while i'm pretty mad that they chose to back out, i think in the end it was for the better since the flight is so disorganized. water would not want to be caught in the crossfires of that, and we are still planning to push october 8-14.

Thanks for the confirmation. Do you have a screenshot of the announcement?
That's wild they told you before they told Fire, there's fire anons on SMR right now denying it.

Different droplet here, I'm only just going to put the first part of the announcement:

I find it weird though that our dom team is confirming this even before the rest of Fire was notified about it. I mean... I had been considering vacationing to Fire but postponed it due to the upcoming push. Now I'm not sure what to do. Weird feelings all around with the handling of this news.

On the plus side, it seems the backing out is due to them trying to get their dom team into shape. So that may lead to a better Fire for you to go to

As long as Fire's plan of increasing flight's morale isn't "let's accost Shadow with an unplanned battle for the fourth time" (or third, can't remember right now)

No problem! If you go to the Twitter they listed in their profile, it's even worse (content warning for fatphobia, suicide baiting, Islamophobia, eating disorders, etc).

As another droplet, considering we had people doing battle prep, I appreciate knowing as soon as possible.
The leads can't make fire notify their flight. They sure can let us know it's not happening.

Last thing I'm contributing but they literally tracked down the Twitter of someone who blocked them on FR to harass them.

this is why i never use the same handles across platforms or connect them, it's so easy to be a creepy stalker online :/
One of the Ember’s here. I would like to say, that we told about this earlier today. As far as we know, yes the push is canceled. But that’s because they’re restructuring the dom team. Prizes from the Flameforgers raffle should not be affected. Contrary to rumors going around we were not ghosted. The dom team leader is in the hospital. We are awaiting further updates and information
Not to sound incredibly cynical but werent other embers saying dutchess was gonna show up saying she was in the hospital or something
I have no idea (I think Dutchess is the dom team leader? I might have names mixed up, since I’ve never been good with those) All I know is what I’ve been told, and that is that they’re in the hospital. And that fire is redoing our dom team so that stuff like this can’t occur again. (That and we in fire were surprised and confused when someone that was in a water server was how we learned instead of the dom team being able to finish discussing what they could share and what they couldn’t)
Fire is backing out of the October FvW battle and restructuring their dom team ???? Finally!! Shame about FvW, but this was a long time coming.
Also, Duchess was """in the hospital""" and the flight is sending so many well wishes and "get well soon :(((("s her way. Nonnies, do we believe this? lol. Obviously you can't say anything or you're the bad guy, but .... we all know this is a pattern of behaviour for her.

you don't sound cynical nonnie. i fully agree with you
Ember, the second your team canceled, they gave up the right to tell water dom what they could say to their own.
They should have told you "Due to circumstances, we are canceling the battle with water. We will give more details once we finish working out a statement."

I'm so shook this is playing out exactly how embers said it would. That Dutchess would reappear after ghosting for a week with an excuse that if you call her out for it you'll be reamed out for being a bad person. it's amazing. it's exactly what the embers here said would happen

Seriously, the ember gave the playbook Dutchess uses, and she is trying to execute it again. It's too easy to see.
isn't it Fire's responsibility to notify their own flight considering it was their idea to cancel? this looks to me more like poor communication in Fire than anything, which has already been an issue :/ the embers were barely informed of what the deal was with the late raffle start.
I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt on that kind of thing so if she says she's in hospital, I believe it and hope everything turns out okay for her irl.
But just bc this time might not be her fault doesn't mean she hasn't been shitty in the past. If even half of what's been said about her as a dom lead is true she should've stepped down way before this incident

If she's in the hospital often enough that people are calling it like this for real, she shouldn't be holding the whole bank.
+1 the fact we were accurately told a playbook that is happening right now is wild. this shouldn't be happening
lmaoooo I definitely don't buy it. if something did happen then I hope she's okay, of course, but pressing X to doubt.
how does it feel to be completely and utterly correct?
