It's just a misunderstanding I think. Light took the first post on Dom Watch and their post has "Thundercrack Carnivale: Conquest" at the top; it's actually a link to Lightning's festival push info, but it looks like the title of their post.
That combined with the fact that they don't mention profit pushing in the body of their post got 1 person confused and thinking they were trying to steal festival dom from lightning.
Could all be cleared up with a couple edits on Light's post
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
light took the first post despite not being pinged by dom watch and their wording at the top makes it look like theyre conquest pushing. just kind of a rude move for a fest push week
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
the thing is, I don't think it's inconsiderate or rude. Light is pushing, therefore, they are allowed to post on Dom Watch. Their representative might not have had time to wait for Lightning to post, and regardless, it's not like it's the first time a profit-pushing flight has posted before the conquesting flight. This is being blown up far beyond what's reasonable for something incredibly minor and silly to get upset over. They've accommodated Lightning as best they can and any continued discourse about this is petty and unnecessary. You'll all forget about this when the next big scandal happens in several days.
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
we're allowed to disagree on that. but it doesnt change the fact that there's multiple people in the dom watch thread and other places being confused about what's happening this week, and the fact that the dom watch organizer did not ping lights dom at all for their post. i'm certainly not saying that light dom beat up my progens and spit on them or anything like that, but its impacting people and to downplay that is rather inconsiderate especially for a festival week.
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
I mean, that's certainly fair, but overall there's no real issue. There was no possible way that dragons could've accidentally ended up with Light rather than Lightning, and Light would not have ever overtaken Lightning during the course of this week. The only impact is perhaps people feeling embarrassed their reading comprehension is not as good as they thought.
Light dom organizers shouldn't be relentlessly attacked for a simple misunderstanding. It's quite literally still Sunday - within less than a day, the issue was addressed and fixed to the best of their ability. Continued attacks are disingenuous and feel more like people looking for something to latch onto when there's no other current drama than actual grievances.
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
im not really sure why this is being interpreted as an "attack" against light. all ive seen is people who are either confused by this, or people who have, imo, criticism on a mistake. criticism isnt inherently an attack, and its disappointing that criticizing a mistake is getting this much backlash. this place has had loads of dom discussion and no flight is free from that.
frankly, the edit that dessy included made it worse... titling your dom post as "thundercrack carnival conquest" honestly does make it sound like a post for a conquest push rather than a profit push, and could have easily been avoided by phrasing it like "click here for lightnings festival details" or something like that.
as you said, this is a minor thing. but its only been a day since it happened, and people will want to have timely discussion on it. saying that is dragging it out for petty purposes feels like an attempt to sweep it under the rug and shame even mild criticism. as you said, this will blow over in time. its only been one day.
Re: why are people losing their minds over light doing a profit push this week
I love Light Flight because they get snippety and butthurt over the most menial, honestly constructive criticism over their legitimate mistakes and get so defensive over it. It's like someone standing next to an overreacting beehive and getting swarmed within seconds. You don't even have to try.
