Hi, I'm that previous ember anon that warned y'all that this year's ff push was giving me a bad gut feeling that it'd blow up and i did see some people come to support.
I just want to be very very clear about this.
there was a plan by a few users to actually, yknow, make a new dom team. for years, actually. every time someone says "oh Duchess should step down and let new people lead" I can't help but have to laugh because how many times has that been said only for wider response by the community is to...keep letting this happen instead of sticking to your guns and standing by these very people when we actually go to talk about it.
Admittedly, this annoys me, because I have seen people be wary of Fire's reputation within our flight because of the fiasco upon fiasco that keeps happening. Especially when that impacts the support we get from OOF. We need OOF support to be able to pull this off and we need to ensure that we have that support.
You guys did it with Arcane and the old Celestial Senate dom team, and you all supported the other flights with the same energy when they needed to push out bad actors in their leadership. I think we genuinely need OOF support, especially from other Dom Teams, to put pressure on Duchess to either give up the reigns or at least step back and let new blood lead. The rest of the AA? Are actually sweet. They're just as frustrated as the Embers are, and as you guys are, that these issues keep happening, based on the convos I've had with them.
It's not the team making the decisions.
It's Duchess.
And if the flights altogether want the best for Fire, we need your support in actually making a change of guard with Duchess happen. You guys need to put pressure and a spotlight on this. If you all knew about these issues being a result of Duchess' leadership for years, then this is the call of action you need.
The real reason we haven't done a 'mutiny' like the lore of our Flight? Because we can't tell if OOF is going to actually support this new team. Embers would need to take some time readjusting. But the main bulk of support we need is from the outside, because without enough OOF support, it'll fail and we become more disorganised. And then the same issues will continue to crop up again and we're back at square one.
I realise that this could be a bit of a hot take and turn some people off, but at the end of the day, if you want something done you gotta push for the change to make it happen. If the other flights want Fire to make a change like what's being proposed, then you guys gotta help make that happen.
