Ixii's Flight Rising Shenanigans

Ixii / 25 / whatever pronouns Making lore and art and skins and dragon shitposts. Hmu here (not on FR) for messages. Main blog is @tutelie.

Intro!

I follow/like/etc from @tutelie

On Flight Rising I go by Ixii and while I'd like to say I make skins and write lore, really i'm developing carpal tunnel from excessive coli grinding.

My clan is called The Blighthouse! It's kinda like a hotel for dragons in the wasteland. The lore is constantly under workshop and I am so indecisive but that's part of the fun I think!

FR+0, they/them/whatever, send an ask for everythin' else ✌ Find my clan here~

No-Hit Boss Killer

I made this build about a month ago, but I don't think I've properly introduced frblr to THE CLOBBER.

Kill ANY boss in any venue on a cold start. Grind in lvl 25 venues hitless, forever. Yes, it works in any venue and any boss. Yes, it slots perfectly into a team of 133 STR general grinders. Yes, it costs less than 45g to build. No, you don't need another eliminate.

The Clobber Build

Guide Forum and discussion thread go into more detail.

You only need 110 QCK to use this, meaning low level dragons can help train themselves. This runs Discipline for the extra breath, Regenerate for general grinding, and Contuse so extra turns can be used to help your fighters skip a turn of Scratch.

For Bosses:

Put the Clobber at the end of your team.

For starting on bosses, have a fighter Haste the Clobber once. The Clobber should Meditate, Meditate, Clobber the boss.

Scratch with your fighters.

Clobber and Meditate between boss turns. Fighters Scratch and build up breath. Repeat.

For regular grinding:

Have two fighters Scratch and Elim two enemies. Clobber will stun the third.

The Clobber has an extra turn to stun 4-pack mobs. You can use that extra turn to heal off unlucky dodges, build breath back up, or whatever else.

If you have extra breath or turns, use the Clobber to Contuse the remaining enemy twice. Two Contuses from the Clobber is equivalent to a Scratch from a 133, allowing the next dragon in the turn order to Eliminate the enemy immediately.

Santae banned me without telling me why and won't unban me unless I send them my photo ID

Hey guys sorry for not posting in… forever? I just suck at social media lol. But you may have seen that I've reblogged some posts that advertise Santae in the past, but please disregard all that. I've since deleted those posts after learning how the site is managed and, after what happened to me a few days ago, I feel as though I should go public about this. Because boy did I just get fucked over.

Anyway, yeah, what it says in the title. On October 24th, around 10am EST, I was restocking my user shop when the entire webpage went white. I couldn't access the site at all and, when I tried to look for the Discord on my server list, it wasn't there. I knew what this had meant. I got banned from both the game, and the Discord - this is important to keep in mind for later.

I didn't receive any Discord DM or email notification about my ban, so after asking a mod what their support email was (and yes, I later verified that this is indeed their legitimate support email), I sent them this:

After a few hours, I get this back in response:

There's so much I'm confused about here. I think the one that screams out the most is that they're asking me to show them my photo ID so I can get unbanned. Absolutely not. I refuse to do this. This poses a massive security and privacy risk. They straight up banned my account, gave this half-baked explanation, and told me I need to send my personal information or... I stay banned?

Let me make something clear: The only personal thing they have on file about this account is the email address that I created my account with, which I've also used to contact them. My real name, date of birth, anything of that nature would not be connected because this was not asked for during account creation, therefore this wouldn't actually prove I'm the account holder. Theoretically speaking, I could show them any ID in the world and for all they know, that's my real information, because they have nothing else to go off of. They even say as much in their privacy page.

Secondly, "account has been compromised"? What does that mean? I think anyone's interpretation of this would be that my account got hacked. But if my account got hacked, why wasn't I informed of this? I had to reach out to support, they did not reach out to me first. That means my password, which I may share across other sites, would have been known to someone else and thus I should've been warned of this immediately, not roughly 5 hours after the fact.

Thirdly, what, was my Discord "compromised" too? If an automated system had flagged my account, does that system somehow interact with a Discord bot so they ban a user on both at the same time? How does that work? That makes no sense as to why they'd ban me on both the game and the Discord for something like this, which is why I'm calling bullshit.

Let me tell you what I think happened.

Recently, Santae has been in some really hot water with connections revealing their relation to an older petsite, Lurapets, which has a history of scamming and artist mistreatment, as well as proof coming out of them using AI art for their NPC art. You can find these posts on the @santae-salt blog if you want to see for yourself, but I'm also linking them throughout this post.

Once the post about them being directly related to Lurapets was released, several users that the Santae staff thought might be involved in the creation of the post got banned. As it turns out, I was banned at the same time as these users.

After speaking with the @santae-salt admin, we are both of the belief that I, a regular user, got caught up in this mess because they're assuming I'm an alt account of someone else and staff demanded to see my ID because they didn't think I was a different person. It may turn out to be wrong, and yeah that sounds a bit far-fetched, sure, but really, what else can I go off of here?? Santae staff has given me a very questionable and refutable explanation as to why I've been banned, and their radio silence after I refused to send them my ID is just making me believe they don't think I'm real. They don't want my photo ID to verify I'm the account holder, they want my photo ID to verify I'm not someone else.

This is unprecedented. I've never seen any petsite ask for a photo ID in any situation, and after asking around, not even those banned from Santae were asked for this. It's just me! This is an incredible attempted breach of privacy, and, with Santae now under doxxing allegations, I really don't feel confident they'd keep my personal information… well, personal.

I messaged back almost immediately after they responded to me where I told them I would not send my ID and I had asked if there were any other way I could verify myself to get my account unbanned. I've received no response so far, and after what I've learned, I feel like I'm not going to get one at all.

So, let this be a lesson to you: don't waste your time on Santae. You can be the most obedient player out there. You can abide by all their rules, be a nice and generous player, or just be minding your own business, but if they so much as think you're associated with someone who they think has wronged them, you'll be banned.

And they can't even be bothered to properly tell you why.

[mudpuddle-fr]

All current issues in Sornieth (as far as I can get from the encyclopedia, and in no particular order)

The Shade is free and active (as of Epilogue: Flight Rising, reinforced in several other stories)

Infighting among the Oculus of the Eleven - inter-flight distrust is seemingly quite high (as of BotE: Ten Eyes)

Large strike/rebellion in the Ashfall Waste (as of BotE: Temper, Temper)

Portal connection between Tangled Wood and Sunbeam Ruins (as of BotE: Kindred Crossing, reinforced in Unveiled)

Suspicious disappearances in Earth Flight excavations (as of BotE: Ancient Fascinations) (I did not have the chance to participate in Dustcarve Dig, but from what I've been able to read on the site itself, these disappearances, while part of the setup, were never resolved)

(Intentional) destruction of the Stormcatch Sanctum (as of BotE: Workplace Hazards)

High tension between the Nature and Plague Flights, due to the breaking of the Armistice by use of The First Seed. Plague ambassador has still not been found, and has taken The Final Infection with her. Implied to be part of a larger conspiracy. (as of BotE: The Seed and The Sickness)

Tidelord is missing, and no divination magic can currently be practiced. (as of BotE: Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow, reinforced in Mixed Elements, Echoes of the Deep, and Unfathomable Oddyssey)

There is a three-headed Emperor (Luminax) in the Sunbeam Ruins. (as of BotE: Raising A Family)

Major change in the energies of Auraboan nests due to the events of The Seed and The Sickness, allowing younger Auraboas to experience linear time, and causing a worrying partial disconnect from the Loop. (as of Ancient Arboriculture Observations and the Auraboa breed article)
