Im in Wind Flight and I have to admit, Im impressed that we're winning.

As the biggest flight it kind of sucks because we have to exalt more dragons but we seem to be doing just fine....

it's still early. if another flight is going to make a push they'll probably do it closer to the end of the week.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
is anyone else going?

I don't think so. Nature, Plague, and Arcane are certainly holding off (for various plans, and Arcane because they just got it). Can't speak for the others, but I haven't heard anything, so I think Wind may be alone this week.

I can add that Shadow's holding off too.

damn, that makes me want to push my flight to go for it...

(Anonymous) 2013-09-23 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Go for it, since Wind is so big even with a late start you'll have a good chance of winning.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-23 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
not to sound like a whiner, but plz let us wind have a dominance I want to rub a discount on my body for once :(

Unless your flight never had dominance before then I would be okay with it.

not to be a dick, but if you really want dominance, work for it. unless it's your festival week and it would be a real dick move to take it, there's no reason for other flights to stand down.

maybe i'm just a bitter shadowanon but i'd agree with most of this except for if it's one of the smallest flights competing

i lost track of whatever the flight organisers were at for the tally of exalted dragons, but iirc it was 4.7k dragons from the in flight raffle alone, and that was only the ones people bothered to record

idk what the turnout from flight-wide raffles was.

Why do people keep saying 4-5k dragons exalted like it's a lot?

Re: da

(Anonymous) 2013-09-23 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
the point is that mobilizing to manage to exalt that much nets us little more than 1:1 ratio of exalts to users, most of which probably didn't care, didn't know, or gave up on dominance halfway.

in comparison, a smaller flight like earth maybe needs only one or two rich users to match that ratiowise.

lol I wasn't being that serious. If some other flight goes for it I'm not going to start shaking and crying. But it's really hard for Wind to get dominance because we're so huge. We really did work for it when we were going up against Ice, but, alas. I just honestly think we're not ever going to have a chance unless we duke it out against a flight almost as big as us.
