NAYRT I'm having issues with Wayback Machine rn. rufusdrumknott (who moved to Earth from Wind) said on the Dom Watch thread that they and three other people in Earth ordered mercs to flip Beastclans. They said they were out 50kg from the effort. However, they kept on going after they flipped Beastclans, which also made things harder for Wind to place 3rd.
While I'm glad the participating flights mostly had a good time, I don't envy the spot that Earth Dom is in. This was a reckless decision and a hit to the good relations Earth has worked hard to maintain over the years.
TBH I want to see people from flights like idk Nature doing this, where the dom leads don't have interest in organizing battles so the flight members can do stuff like this.
DA I'm saying bullshit: they couldn't have spent 50kg to flip.
Reason: math. Assuming the worst case - exalting hatchlings - one hatchling is a loss of about 4-5g, which means that the so-called 50kg loss is 10-13k exalted hatchlings and dragonomics chart don't show any spike in hatchling price. If you count level 5 dragons as the exalted population, that's a similar loss (assuming ~10-12kt/g price per merc dragon). If they were so stupid as to exalt level 1 adults, that's about 7k dragons which is also reasonably far away from reality. They could have used about 50kg but the actual loss shouldn't have been bigger than 10-15kg - or they truly suck at spending money.
Why the hell would they be buying and exalting hatchlings? 50000g x 1000t / 13000t per levelled dragon they were buying as mercs = 3846 dragons. They could easily have bought 3846 dragons as a merc and exalted them.
AYRT You're bad with math and budgeting - you're confusing spending 50kg and losing 50kg: spending 50kg buys you 3846 dragons, but you're not losing 50kg buying those dragons as each dragon exalted gives you 8250 and you're back to ~32kg, ie a loss of only 18kg.
