(Undel just posted that Sandswept Delta enemies are now all level 9 rather than a mix of 9 and 10, so... new level 10 venue, I guess?)
If so, how much you wanna bet it's another water/nature themed venue
give us an elephant graveyard themed one, justice for plague
Will never happen.
As it is, Plague's overall aesthetic keeps getting softened from the original concept because people (like Prince Eridan) are self entitled, over-sensitive babies and if staff did more for Plague, we'd never hear the end of the pointless screaming and cry-typing from their lot.

ayrt
I mean we have the Titan's Fall scene so i thought an venue with a green and boney background is not that far off.

So, what do you guys think? Who's going to win? Who are you rooting for?
is this in replacement of FvW or was it already planned? if new, then ice for being cool and stepping up to the plate
Ice stepped up to the plate when we tried to see if someone was willing to battle in fire's place. Same week.
They deserve credit for being willing to step in.

Heard that Ice lost the last two times they went against Water so I'm guessing more OoF support will go to them?
droplet here -- im rooting for a fun battle! i can see it going either way
water has a *lot* prepped for this push, we planned to go all out for the fire V water battle. now that focus and preparation has shifted towards water V ice
ice is at a disadvantage because they have not had NEARLY the time to prep for this. but imo that makes it way more fun, and way more like the dom we used to have and the dom culture i missed -- spontaneity
i think dom-oriented people will support ice in excitement of dom being "like it used to be" and wanting to support the underdog of the battle
ice is formidable in its own right and i'm positive they'll put up a GOOD fight, despite the lack of preparation. OOF support is gonna be huge game changer in this battle, but i think ice has the potential to put together a better raffle with better prizes, due to how many breadwinners are in ice that can donate bigger ticket items to entice support
i hope ice dom people are as excited about this battle as i am! i know ice used to love dom (i was a partial dom organizer way back in the day) and i hope a lot of the people who missed what dom used to be come out of the woodwork to support their flight. water has organization, but ice has zeal
i think this is going to be a LOT of fun

To their credit, Ice had more OOF support both times they battled Water previously AND when they battled Shadow even though everyone knew Shadow was the underdog. So I don't think this is even a question, Ice is masterful at the OOF game.
i’m biased as a droplet but we’ve had months of preparation and have beaten ice twice in the past, i’m pretty optimistic the victory will go to water. still, i hope the battle is exciting! i will be pulling my weight and working hard to help my flight, and i am hyped to see what ice will be up to during the battle
New venue has been confirmed in the Dev Tracker.
I can't decide! I'm happy and excited for both flights: Water for persevering and Ice for stepping up!!
...Of course, ultimately this means that I will probably end up supporting whoever's raffle and/or badges I'm more excited about, haha. Maybe a slight erring on the side of Ice since WHEW are they surely having to hustle and are also less a dom powerhouse than Water these days, but like I said, I'm just really enthusiastic and eager to potentially support both.

damn you gave a warning and i should've listened because those tweets depressed the shit out of me. christ
I know this is an old matchup - but it's a good matchup. Those two always come to play hard and put on a show, I'm excited to see it and the unusual circumstances make it even more unpredictable and interesting.
I LOVE both flights but the fact that Ice stepped up to the plate makes me want to root for them and send them dragons!
y'all are awesome. i see way more based takes here than on any other Flight Rising discussion site removed from the main website. i have love for tumblr, don't get me wrong, but i think the venue of SMR and DRR being tumblr means that a different type of player tends to chime in for the discussions there, and unfortunately a lot of those commenters are, ahem, players i have blocked on the main site because i find them insufferable. but making a tumblr to identify & block them all there too would probably take more time than making a thread on a salt blog, so here i am ;)
this is an appreciation post for this venue and for the people who have chosen to spend their time running it - thank you thank you - but i've put it in "wanker" category because iiiit's also a dig at the tumblr salt blogs (if there are other, non-tumblr places i'm missing, do please fill me in).
DRR is boring (sorry) and perhaps a bit slow-paced & disjointed, and SMR is very repetitive & cliquey. "is it okay to exalt or not exalt my dragons? is it okay to breed my G1s? if someone else is breeding dragons that look like this will i be drawn & quartered for breeding hatchlings that look similar? are difficult achievements ableist for being difficult (NOT picking on the shock switch issues/other actual accessibility-related issues, just picking on "mad i have to play FR to earn FR points")? is it ableist that i don't get all new items for free, or that items retire & become expensive? is staff capitalist scum because they need money to support their small team of dedicated staff in making a free-to-play passion project that's setting the current standard for virtual pet sites? is staff hate me in particular because they haven't already released X item or feature that i really want? am i the special-est multiaccounter because i've come up with the most convoluted justification as to why i in particular Deserve to Cheat? should i take a break if playing FR is consuming my life & stressing me out? why i can't trauma dump on the forums, is this because staff hates X kind of person & is oppressing me?"
there have been discussions here before about how posts submitted to SMR relating to certain users seemed not to go through because of potential mod connection to those users, but i don't have any deets to add in that regard. i just pop in to check the feed every once in a while, and have to remind myself to only look at a few posts at a time, and stay away from the notes/comment section because some of them make my eyes roll so hard they're gonna get stuck in the back of my head.

(^ me with my clown nose & bowtie, dressed fool enough to visit SMR)

Same Anon, apparently i don't know how to post a thread in the proper place on this website even though i've successfully posted threads here before, RIP
Y'all have been really great the past few months; Vasemod and I haven't had to pull out any major hammers on threads. Keep being awesome ♥
Definitely why I prefer here to SMR, there's more room for nuanced takes. SMR treats everything black and white, this comm is usually more interested in the gray area.
+1 on SMR lmao, that is a very accurate depiction of that blog.
Some of the submissions there are by people who are probably young and asking about FR social etiquette because unfortunately assholes that try to police how other people play the game/do with their dragons exist in greater numbers than they should be. But yeah, a lot of the others are... well, yikes. They have me squinting my eyes and asking 'is this bait?' because if not, these people probably need to touch grass or something.
I agree on the comments section too. It's a gigantic cesspool of the same people who tends to dogpile over the tiniest shit. Like it didn't matter to those people that OP has a point, they will tunnel-vision on something that OP did not put in words as nicely as possible and strawman something up to attack OP because they feel personally attacked. The multiaccounting shit is notorious for this and I'm convinced that some of these people defending it multiaccount themselves lmao.
So SO glad there's a non-tumblr drama site for my sodium chloride needs. I hate the tumblr format and having to maintain a tumblr account when I stopped using that site almost 10 years ago as I've noticed the same behavior by certain SMR users being prevalent on tumblr even way back then.

I'm not rooting for one over the other, I just want to see an exciting battle with flips and I think we'll get that. Ice is awesome for going for a last minute conquest push against Water.
Oh HELL YEAH. Give us some bamf hyena and scraggly exiled lion familiars.
