There is a difference between taking steps to assure that your dom is going to be successful (bringing out the light sprite) and assuming you will be successful, so you don’t prepare for it.
Also, I was *in* light. I can assure you that we were boarding in anticipation of a potential challenge. If other flights looked at our work and decided “we don’t really want to fight that”, task failed successfully.
You said earlier you don’t think double dom will lead to more spontaneous battles. That might be true! As the site has grown, the energy and funds needed to do a proper spontaneous battle is so steep that it’s not surprising most teams aren’t interested in. But that’s only the case if a flight isn’t complacent in planning their dom pushes (which can be the case in double dom or regular pushes), and if they do get complacent, the dom fatigue on week two makes a battle much more fair for all involved. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
