I have no idea (I think Dutchess is the dom team leader? I might have names mixed up, since I’ve never been good with those) All I know is what I’ve been told, and that is that they’re in the hospital. And that fire is redoing our dom team so that stuff like this can’t occur again. (That and we in fire were surprised and confused when someone that was in a water server was how we learned instead of the dom team being able to finish discussing what they could share and what they couldn’t)
Ember, the second your team canceled, they gave up the right to tell water dom what they could say to their own.
They should have told you "Due to circumstances, we are canceling the battle with water. We will give more details once we finish working out a statement."
I wasn’t saying that they should have control over water dom can and can not say. Just that I wish we had learned about it from our dom team. I very much agree that our (fire) dom team should have said something like that instead of what went down
I'm so shook this is playing out exactly how embers said it would. That Dutchess would reappear after ghosting for a week with an excuse that if you call her out for it you'll be reamed out for being a bad person. it's amazing. it's exactly what the embers here said would happen
I don’t think Dutchess has actually reappeared, since from what was said the dom team was still trying to get a response from her. I literally only know what was sent in the fire server earlier today. I haven’t been paying much attention to Fire dom until literally this push. I was only trying to share what we were told
She hasn't re appeared, she has had a friend contact people on her behalf, no wait sorry
Duchess so reached out to a friend of hers to tell her and knew enough to tell dom peeps something about her terrible condition.
Just like when she was too distraught over her dog being sick 2 years ago to pay any attention to a game. When she had refused to let other aa members prep for the oof raffle. I mean, come'on. It's a pattern of behavior for her. She expects gifts to thank her for reaching out despite being soooo hurt. Oh she did everything she could, boo fucking hoo.
That I know of personally? 9 times. I gifted her a get well soon gift of food stacks the first time because her dragons had starved and she didn't have time to grind for food while getting caught up on the Dom stuff she had to see to. I sent her food because I felt bad for her situation and because I was glad she was prioritizing Dom things.
How many other people have sent her stuff like I did? It was at least 150kt in food from me.
Y'all should really come together and compile screenshots of all PMs/Discord messages of this happening. Best if in chronological order. Share the deets and get this shady dom lead kicked. Actually a massive red flag for shit to happen to her so many times (sharing details of them at that lmao) that she isn't doing her job and yet still stay in power.
i literally went on a hiatus for about a year because of the dom drama in fire that went down in 2021-2022. when i came back this year, i moved to water. she does this so often, and even if she does actually have frequent medical conditions that hold her back this often, it shouldn't be a controversial thing to say she should pass the torch to someone else and take on a smaller role in dom or to just quit organizing completely. she's holding the flight back and she's been doing this for years, even before i switched over to fire.
i think what truly killed firedom was losing protowilson, emeraldskye, and booleano all in the same year. those three were absolute powerhouses for the flight, and losing them made a lot of us more casual exalters lose morale. it's why i went on hiatus before flameforgers, and then didn't come back for an indefinite period of time. i don't wish ill upon duchess at all, but if she's in genuine medical distress for the umpteenth time during her tenure as the head of fire dom, then she should have learned by now that she needs someone there to take up the reins for her if something happens.
in the case she's not in medical distress or simply exaggerating actual issues in order to garner sympathy, then she's just an even shittier person than she already is. embers both former and still in the flight all saw this coming.
I find it really sad that the flight remembers Bool and emeraldskye as much as an aa member like proto. There is a reason that two non Dom lead users are more kindly remembered than real aa members. I got so many personal fundraising tips from bool and emerald ran a lot of events where the focus was flight enjoyment and less cost vs profit. Some of the prizes emerald put out were not worth it for the profit the bank would make but they would be prizes from emeralds stash not bank funds.
Bool I can not thank enough. I can earn so much following the tips I got. I wish both would come back.
I miss the events that skye would run in the discord. I loved seeing the challenges where she would bet with some people to be the first to have 7 familiars from a venue or something. I was too shy to openly play along but I would race with them. I miss watching bool's excitement too. The race to getting the bug was the best. If they both came back fire would be so much better for it.
