hi, I'm a droplet. I can confirm that they've backed out, but the announcement in the water flight told us not to announce it publicly until it's also announced in fire. well, i say screw that.
i've moved flights quite a lot, and when i moved to fire i figured i'd stay there. the discord community was genuinely very nice and engaging, but we were held back by duchess so often. while i don't like duchess, i hope she's okay with whatever is going on in her life, but she needs to step down if her life gets in the way of being head dom org this frequently.
personally, while i'm pretty mad that they chose to back out, i think in the end it was for the better since the flight is so disorganized. water would not want to be caught in the crossfires of that, and we are still planning to push october 8-14.
Different droplet here, I'm only just going to put the first part of the announcement: https://imgur.com/0b1cCqF
I find it weird though that our dom team is confirming this even before the rest of Fire was notified about it. I mean... I had been considering vacationing to Fire but postponed it due to the upcoming push. Now I'm not sure what to do. Weird feelings all around with the handling of this news.
DA As long as Fire's plan of increasing flight's morale isn't "let's accost Shadow with an unplanned battle for the fourth time" (or third, can't remember right now)
isn't it Fire's responsibility to notify their own flight considering it was their idea to cancel? this looks to me more like poor communication in Fire than anything, which has already been an issue :/ the embers were barely informed of what the deal was with the late raffle start.
