Guess some people saw the Domwatch header image and thought
"Momma might have said yes, but Daddy said No" lol

+ with 104! badges available this week only (I think?) Earth deserves it, that's a lot of work - why aren't they conquesting for real? open a buy themselves.
and Plague double doms like two or three times throughout the year, so I think it'd be hilarious if they get to be the first flight to lose an attempt on the first week. not like they cancel the next week right? lol

Where are you getting info plague is double domming more through the year? They only have next week and RoR fest marked on Dom Watch.

I think they're talking about last year, where Plague did two double dom runs without anyone stepping up to contest it. Which was a missed opportunity imo we should be contesting all double and triple dom attempts it's just more fun if stuff happens!

My understanding of their flight culture is that every named push is pretty much a conquest. Earth doesn't label these as conquests though, because people expect out of flight activities and raffles for conquests.

I agree, though. Plague could be saving their resources for next week, but they have less events even as a conquesting flight. Earth has 5 events total, 3 which are out of flight. Two of them will get them dragons and levels. Plague has 4 events, 3 of which are out of flight, but none of which funnel dragons in for exalting. Now they've opened a public buy with very generous prices, so their exalt flow is finally beating out Earth. I don't doubt that Earth goes very hard for these pushes internally too.

Sorry to ramble. Dominance dynamics are one of my special interests.
