NAYRT that's totally fair but Duchess preventing positive change from occurring and otherwise hindering Fire Dom from improving has been a known problem for years. of course embers may not have the werewithal to mutiny which i obviously get but the alternative is the current situation proceeding unchanged. Fire has artists (their foddart offerings are impressive) and attendants, as well as new orgs like Pessi who want to change things and are chafing at the bit. there's a lot of potential for improvement.
i really care about the dom scene on FR and i legit feel for all the embers who love their flight and community but whose experience is not as good as it could be due to the actions of a single or small group of people. it's not fair, and it's also a bummer for the other flights because having another competitive team in the dom space would be great for everyone. we're stuck with 11 flights so if some of them aren't dom oriented there's fewer good matches for battles and fewer new ideas being generated.
Fire is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They might need to start over fresh and I am sure people will support them. Look at what embers are doing! Look at the 50/50 for example. Those prizes below the prize pot are amazing. I just really hope that host does not give generated funds to duchess but instead to pessi.
I am going to bet that duchess comes back end of the week and says I am so sorry guys I had a medical/environmental/personal emergency pop up and couldn't contact anyone to let them know what was up. Then write this whole woe is me thing again and make people feel so bad for doubting her. People will send her items out of guilt for thinking ppoorly.
It for sure does! The 50/50 is super impressive, and I'm proud of the new dom and event people being the change they want to see. If we do end up making a new dom team, I'll throw my money behind them
No I don't, I may have said dragons replaced for now as there has still been no response. I am even willing to give away some of my own- i believe I have some that people may like, or hell,,, ill pull out my own funds or *something*.
Friendly advice from someone who has put together a bunch of raffles. Don't worry about using your own dragons. If you make a post in flight asking for dragon prize donations, plenty of people will offer dragons. Just make sure that you list specific criteria or you are going to get deluged with dragons that no one will want to win in a raffle. You'll want to ask for things like level 25's, gen 1's with matching colors, older dragons. No offspring. (Genes on gen 1's do not matter, most people will want to gene themselves.)
Seconding this, adding that the level 25s will be even more coveted if stoned. Dragon taste is pretty subjective but you stick to those criteria and I'm sure they'll go
