this is killing me, light's most recent raffle had multiple prize packs worth 1500g+ individually, what the hell is arcanedom doing with your money???????
I’m assuming our dom team has been sitting on any funds they’ve received in preparation for the push we’re doing soon. I’ll be disappointed if I don’t see good raffle prizes for that, though, because then I REALLY won’t know what is going on with the money
this is what i've been trying to tell myself too, but like... it doesn't seem like any of the other flights need to profit push for an entire year to prepare for a single conquest push, yknow? :/ and it isn't like our profit pushes are unsuccessful - there was that recent fundraiser that raised 400kg+. just... idk man. something doesn't seem right.
no, you’re right, I don’t know any other flight having to save up for so long just to do ONE conquest a year (that we end up losing anyway). makes me feel a little like all this isn’t worth it, and I often wonder if I should just change flights already, but I stick around hoping to be the change I want to see. starting with requesting that we start keeping a public record of funds, maybe.
you're getting scammed if they're telling you they still need to rebuild their bank lmao. i bet you anything that money is mysteriously gone, especially since you guys can't track it.
not in light, but my flight's recent raffle has also had high value prizes and a general dombank spreadsheet exists for transparency. what is going on over there
honestly it just seems to me that arcane dom is spreading itself needlessly thin with doing monthly profit pushes where every single one has a raffle to begin with?
other anons have mentioned light's generous IF raffles as a contrast, but those are for actual conquests, not profit pushes—at least from what I've seen? I'm still pretty new to the flight, though. for another point of comparison: back when I was in nature, we had a program that would do a lot of internal competition profit pushes where there would often be a few small prizes provided by each "team captain" figure, but it was handled as a supplemental thing to the main dominance team.
it seems to me that arcane could ease up a touch on the official profit pushes so people could start properly banking dragons, and do some actual conquests instead. put the exalting energy of the flight—not to mention the war chest—towards something that would feel truly meaningful to people.

and the grand prize is...
an Unhatched Shadow Egg.
but this was just a regular old monthly profit push - surely the arcdom bank is saving all that money for conquest pushes, right?
the last time arcane conquest pushed (not counting the festival push) was almost an entire year ago. in march of 2024.

but surely there's a public record of arcdom bank funds and how they're being spent, right?
nope.
