An update regarding FireDom

Hello, it is Pessi once again, sorry it has taken me a bit to get back with yall.

A little bit ago I made a post mentioning that me, OOF dom team members, and fellow embers were all discussing how to change course for Fire Dom, and that i'd follow up with you all here regarding this. Things were discussed such as new organization, a complete reform to how the team operates, and discussion of our current lead stepping down due to their periodic absences due to irl reasons during important times when we've needed them... Newer members such as me, and a few others were for the idea. While the rest of the team seemed for the other two ideas brought to them, the idea of duchess stepping down entirely didn't seem to agree on them, rather, they wanted her to stay on the team, just not have the role as a lead.

While initially this seemed ok to roll with, when Duchess eventually reappeared (albeit briefly), there was only a mention of her having more of her responsibilities taken up, rather than the aforementioned having her step down as a lead. Additionally, I was offput by a message from one of the members (not listing who), stating I did not care about the team's opinions, for not having private channels for the team. Keep in mind, the "server" was basically a larger group chat so that us, embers, and OOF Dom team members to share the current state of FireDom and take advice on how to improve on it. This message was also sent to me right after I had invited a particular user who had left fire into the server, who had on-going issues regarding FireDom that lead to them leaving.

Another question that I am sure a lot of you are wondering is the cancellation of WvF. While me and the team were discussing things, OOF Dom Team members brought up the fact that we are very unprepared for a battle with Water. Water gave Earth a run for their money last battle, and considering how underprepared we were, a fight with Water would mean a certain curbstomp and unfun fight for both parties. Water has been prepping ever since the fight was announced- and we had nothing. Not only would we be possibly trying to reform the team and reorganize, but we would also be rushing assets, events, etc in only 2 months. Due to this, I had informed the Water flight that we needed to cancel the fight. That being said, thank you Ice for stepping in, water deserves a fight especially with all of the hard work they have put into planning and assets. To embers, I am sincerely sorry that the announcement about the cancellation of the fight was delayed to you. We were in the process of brainstorming the announcement when the announcement from Water was leaked into FRC. Please know that we had no intentions of withholding this information from you all- despite previous communication issues with the flight.

Continuing to the second paragraph I had typed here, I will not be mentioning names, but a lot of this had left a very poor taste in my mouth, not including the many grievances already shared here by others that I also have with the AA. With all things considered, I had returned the attending funds to one of the bank holders, and today eventually announced at 4:52 PM EST that I was leaving AA due to creative differences. 6 PM- No response... 8 PM- activity in a different channel, but yet again, no response. At this point, at 8:23 PM, I had left the AA server. I wish no ill-will to AA, but I no longer feel comfortable working with them due to these reasons.

Posted the same thing here in Fire's Discord so that embers are aware of this as well.
