So the entire bank ended up funneled to Duchess despite that being a massive no-no...? I don't know the full detail of whatever the fuck happened last year, but it seems bad enough that multiple users got essentially kicked. Was Duchess part of the old dom team that was part of the problem? Seems awfully sus to continue putting her in power if that's the case.
Duchess has been in firedom for as long as I can remember, and complaints about her have been around for pretty much the same. It honestly boggles my mind that she's still around after everything that has happened. Makes me wonder if she's the one refusing to let go, and if yes, why is she so hellbent in staying in an org position...
I was one of the users involved with that dispute. I did not like the secrets from those who donated/the Dom team themselves. We had no idea what duchess had and what she didn't. Some embers might remember the Build A Raffle threads. Users suggested prize packs and then people would help name them and fund them. All those items went to Duchess with the expectation that they would come out for the event we put together. They never did.
Another user got really pissed and snapped publicly at duchess. Turned out that user had supplied everything everyone funded because duchess didn't let the items go for the event they were gathered for. That user who had replaced the items and helped the flight got chewed out for putting duchess on blast. They ended up leaving the flight and don't play anymore even. So fire flight got really screwed by standing up for someone who was literally stealing from them.
so in summary, Duchess is likely going to appear in a few days or next week with an excuse about what happened that if you call her out for it, you'll look like a terrible person. Annd, the fire raffle items are probably not going to make it to the intended recipients. And I'm assuming, even worse, that fire attendants are using their own funds right now?
Over a year ago now, a few users in fire did have it out with duchess. There was a flight only discord formed and then Olde Duchess got real prickly. I fully believe a lot went on behind the scenes because we lost event runners and heavy hitters not long after. I followed suit and ended up in another flight that shows me how Dom should be run. I still miss all the old embers. Community is great but I won't go back if duchess is still in Dom.
Duchess doesn't even LIKE running events so why stay as a leader in Dom?
