ayrt

Incomplete or not thanks for the stats! Shadow's were ordered at level 5 at least, but that's still a crazy total number for 4 people to be pulling in in one day, props to their hustle.

I would like to assume those 2661 from Earth were exalted by the same people who trained them or else the "4 people won by themselves" thing will just take a different turn and isn't really going to end lol.

The earth to earth mercing worked exactly the same as it would for any other flight, mercs sent dragons to the people receiving them. That being said, pebbles were also exalting their own dragons independently of the merc order.

NAYRT If Earth just did a last minute push, all's well and good. Entirely fair, even. I was under a vastly different impression earlier today because the person who decided to try and explain what happened in the Dom Watch thread botched the job.

A "thank you to all the Earth flight members and out of flight mercs for making this last minute push possible," would have gone a long way to clarifying what happened and highlight the hard work Earth put in to make this happen. That's not what y'all got, though, and that sucks.

What's done is done. I hope the messenger takes a lesson from this and does a better job communicating Earth wins in the future.

nayrt. echoing what someone said earlier, do you not realize that they had to say something because people were already blaming earthdom when earthdom wasnt behind this? they were trying to make sure their team wasnt getting unfairly blamed/harassed, which is something that has happened before when people decide they dont think earth actually deserved dom.

AYRT Yet here we are on ARR, hashing it out because the person who tried to explain made it too much about them, and glossed over the fact that what Earth actually did was a last minute push with what appears to be considerable in and out of flight support. That's careless miscommunication.

Now that we have more info on what actually happened, anyone giving Earth Dom team a hard time can kick rocks.

It doesn't feel terribly organic or like a normal push to me, but hey.
Considering light pushes frequently and has another push next month... I'm not really crying for them either.

Honest truth, ratios or not, Earth being close enough to flip first to knock beastclan out of second seems like Light needed to get more padding on their profit push lead. If Earth hadn't flipped aiming for beast clan...

doesn't everyone lose if beastclan gets any of the top 3 spots? thinking of the light nonnie complaining about plans based on a higher dom discount

no, they just take the bonuses for that specific slot, the other two places are safe

sa

that would be a hell of an incentive to get everyone exalting, though, maybe they should consider it

In theory, but it's actually bugged iirc! Ie if beastclans get third, the flight in fourth actually gets the bonuses (again this is afaik)

As the other anon said, it happens enough. They just eat the reward of the spot for the week.

Nayrt tbh this to me feels more organic than an uncontested regular push! It feels like in the early days of the site when people would just organize on their own
