Flight Rising Rant Thread

[Kirrandria]

<nodnods> Hey, if I ever see another in similar colors I'll totally grab him for you! I had a beauty of my own that got exalted (sadly to ice), he was Navy/Ice. Girl dragons can't find any good guys these days! They're either all taken or exalted <smack'd>

[Chimera]

I know D: Hearing from various members over on Magistream that it's been a few users doing it, one or two are still doing it, Ice flight is trying to help Fire dominate cause they're tired of being hated because of these guys, and the people doing this don't even care about the dominance perks

[Makoes]

The only bright side I can see about this that it might bring the economy up a bit.

[Chimera]

Yeah, that's part of the reason they're doing this

@Kirri, someone from the other forum who's been throwing dozens of dragons at me said they have a pair of dragons that can breed the same kinda babeh and neither are progens so they said they'll send em to my lair for fire eyes. Just letting chu know so you don't need to scour around XD But thank you SO much for the offer, I was so broken seeing the baby go I was all like ;_______; *hugs*

Alright! And if there's ever a second one in those colors... I'd veeeeery much be interested in buying it. I found a female skydancer accent that is a rainbow mane, and that on a black/orange dragon would be hnnnn <3

... Rant. I don't have a skydancer cause they're no out and the treasure or blueprint to get such a lovely thing D:

[Chimera]

They are hoping to breed change one or both into either (or both) skydancer and/or pearlies so I'll see if I can snag one for chu when the time comes :3 One pair (apparently they have two pairs) breeds in 9 days and the other in 11 days

Argh, one person said they'd give me exalt fodder and then I think went to bed without sending them ;A;

*raises hand?*

You're just a tad bit late, I already exalted them.
And it just dawned on me that when I do have nests that need to be hatched and I don't have enough room, I can just transfer some dragons over to my girlfriend until I get rid of the hatchlings somehow.

So
I'm dumb
and crisis slightly averted?

I'll keep you in mind if I have any hatchlings I need to get rid of tho, if you don't mind that.

I'm only taking babies till dominance rolls over on the reset between saturday-sunday to help keep Fire ahead but if you have any to exalt before then I'll gladly exalt and send you the monies ^^

I wouldn't be too mad at Vel for exalting a bunch of dragons, guys. He doesn't seem to be doing it to try and take Fire's holiday away from them (from what I understand, he really likes to crunch numbers, so this is likely him testing something). Normally I'd be really annoyed about people not naming dragons before exalting them, but the guy doesn't even name most of his own dragons. And everyone would be much more upset if he named them the way he names his.

He's doing a lot of good for the economy (last I checked, hatchling prices had jumped quite a bit, as I saw some in for only 1.5kt earlier today), and there's no harm in Fire having some competition. The peace and tranquility doesn't start until next week, after all! The only reason he's managed to push Ice to second is because every other flight has completely backed out this week. Nice for Fire, not so nice for the economy.

He managed to overtake Fire for what, and hour? Then Fire kicked their (excuse my language) asses into gear and overtook him right away. All this means is that Fire can't slack off at all. Not saying they have been, ofc.

I sincerely doubt he'll manage to push Ice to the top, and I urge everyone not to get upset. People on tumblr have already started saying things that sound vaguely like death threats and harassing other members of spiralknots, even after they said they don't condone (or understand) what he's doing.

Just thought I'd share uvu

My rant: People on tumblr are all in a tizzy and it's making me dizzy.

[Chimera]

TBH he could of picked a different week to do it AND tell his flight so they can pass the message on to the other flights on what he's doing and why. Cause imo it's ignorant regardless of how potentially innocent it was at first. Plus Ice has been telling whoever doing mass exalting to stop but they ain't saying a word. No one did this to Light or Lightning, why do it to Fire? Why do it now, of all weeks, when they could of waited till next week or do their test last week, specially seeing as regardless ice got dominance for this current week

[cowmuflage]

Pfft Aeladrine when are people on Tumblr not in a tissy?

[Vephriel]

It's so surreal hearing about all this flight drama and such. I don't really visit the official forums or look in tags or anything, so I'm oblivious of most of these happenings.

Lightning actually did have to fight for their dominance. I don't remember if Light even did get dominance for their holiday; the site was so new and I'd only just joined.

If some of his close friends' theories are correct, he's doing it now to drive up the prices of those hatchlings and to see how exhaustion affects your likelihood to win the next week, which means now is the perfect time to do it. No one knows exactly what he's doing or why, and he and the rest of the spiralknots crew don't interact much with the rest of the ice flight.

I'm sure you guys will still get dominance for your holiday. There's nothing wrong with having to fight a little for it, especially when it helps our already poor economy. We've all been complaining nearly nonstop about how low hatchling prices are, myself included. He's driving those prices back up by making Fire fight back.

[Chimera]

Several other flights are trying to help us get dominance but like, ice already has a bad enough rap, mathmatical theories or not, it would be much appreciated if he could make ONE post in ice forum to say 'hey, this is what I'm doing, we're not trying to get dominance, I'm just testing something out.' Cause without proper communication, yeah, you're gonna get the kinda threats half the community is giving him. I dont wish ill on anyone from any flight, I would just like a heads up to something like that if someones going to do it.

It didn't really help either that there are mass exalters naming the dragons EXALTATION (I do believe it was all in caps hence the caps) and sending them off. These people frankly are causing unneccesary harm and grief to the Flight Rising community because of an experiment because they couldn't take two minutes of their time to give a simple point form or small paragraph of what they are doing to the ice flight to pass onto the other flights so no one would give them the threats and ruin ice flights reputation to the point where they're probably never going to be seen favorably within half the FR community as a whole.

[Aeladrine]

One of his close friends said he started naming that because he misunderstood what people wanted out of him. They were upset he wasn't giving them names, he thought it was because you couldn't tell which dragons has been exalted and which hadn't, and that was the only reason why.

And, honestly, I don't see the harm in his mass-exaltation practices? As I said, he's driving the prices back up, and he's not a real threat to you guys, anyway. He's just one person. He's only in second because every other flight backed out.

rant about lair expansion cost, the possible 400k price on skydancers, the fact that hatchling comes in the front and that the economy is busted...

[Chimera]

Because of the lack of warning he's been making a lot of people frustrated and furious, as people don't know why he's doing it.

If people knew why he was doing it, they could take down the babies they don't want exalted for some experiment and let them do their thing with the ones people don't care about. It's the lack of communication that has everyone in an uproar because no one knows what's going on and they're victimizing him because he's brought this on himself by not saying one single word to anyone from his or another flight that could let the community know so they don't make him out like a vicious exaltation bad guy
