"If people were upset at Plague contesting all the time, had they ever thought of fucking bringing it up to the orgs? Of course not lmao."
IIRC Nature asked Plague to move their double dom in Dec 2023 so they could do their traditional week for Decorate the Behemoth, and Plague said no. So yes the orgs were consulted and they frankly got what they deserved later.
SA I checked DW archives and this seemed to not happen but it was a nature org specifically who told me this so idk what happened. if any nature people are around and could clarify that'd be great lol.
I was also nature at the time, and my understanding was that after the stress of the experimental pseudo-conquest in 2022 ("pseudo" since it was an attempt at conquesting purely off the back of the "normal" DtB activities, and only ended up working thanks to Earth playing nice), there was never a plan to make DtB 2023 an official conquest.
that being said...... I'd be very interested to hear if there was additional stuff that happened in the background which the wider flight wasn't made privvy to. e.g. I could definitely see the dom team wanting to find out if they could at least set us up to potentially take the lead, just without the pressure of making it official. that's the kind of thing that fits their style and philosophy.
AYRT that would make sense - maybe they felt plague out first and ended up not telling you guys. but what i don't get is that there's no plague conquests on that month at all so idk
