I love FR updates except for the part where The Most Annoying People in the World find a way to complain about every feasible thing

Earth flight PLEASE stop fucking pushing. I know its probably meme worthy at this point but the last few times arcane has tried pushing fucking earth beats us without pushing at all. It’s frustrating af. I know it has everything to do with the fact that arcane is massive but our dom push team is like. Max 50 people per push but still my god can we get second place sometime we’re really trying our best and earth isnt even pushing at all. you’ve been in the top 3 for like 3 months straight. let other flights get their measly dominance rewards PLEASE

I get your frustration but the reality is that it's not Earth's fault. It's about how exalts are weighted regarding flight size - something that Earth has no control over. Additionally, Earth has NOT been pushing for three months, outside of two pushes. Any place in Dominance is from individuals exalting (for personal profit) and NOT a push from the dominance teams.

This year Earth has had one Profit Push (February 9th-15th), one planned Conquest (April 13th-19th) and one unplanned Conquest (January 5th-11th, which had them in competition with Light who also weren't planning Conquest initially), whereas Arcane have done three Profit Pushes (one is currently ongoing!) and one Conquest.

To be clear, a Profit Push is not about ranking on Dominance - it's about making money. If we look at the dominance rankings for Arcane's profit pushes this year we'll see:

January 12th-18th: Arcane comes 3rd place, losing out to Fire (1st) and Earth (2nd).

February 16th-22nd: Arcane comes 4th place, losing out to Shadow (Festival Push), Earth and Ice. (1st, 2nd and 3rd).

April 27th-May 3rd: Arcane is currently looking to be in 5th place, behind Light, Earth, Fire and Ice. (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th).

However, if we look at March 23rd-29th which was their most recent Conquest push (which is about ranking on Dominance), they came first. 2nd and 3rd place were Earth and Fire respectively. When Arcane as a team want to conquer, they conquer.

Again, to be clear: Arcane have only aimed for the top spot once this year (so far). Last year, they did it twice (one Conquest, one Festival push). In 2023, it was the same - they lost their Conquest in week 48 because they were in competition with Light. Every other time? They've taken top spot in Dominance.

This goes for the other teams as well - their Conquests often succeed, outside of when two flights are actively competing for Dominance. This is not an issue of Earth constantly pushing or "letting" other Flights win. This is just how team size, exalt weights and Dominance/Pushes work.

#signed: a former arcane member who switched to earth because I liked the smaller Dominance team #i hope i don't need to say this but don't actively go be a dick to the original salter #also I wrote this while running d&d because everyone is roleplaying and I just need to chime in occasionally to confirm #'yes thats right' or 'yes that happened'#also i know this is just salt but this spawned my own salt and i had to get DATA and EVIDENCE to reply with my own salt #thank you to those who have faithfully tracked all the dom pushes since 2014! i fucking love spreadsheets dude

Today is my birthday!!

I've been super sick so I wasn't able to do anything lately, but here's a moment where i got a little bit vulnerable

English is not my first language and because of that I'm always kinda scared of interactions, so whenever people post sweet and kind words about my art in the tags I always want to respond but I don't know how

Just wanted to say I'm extremely grateful for the fr community. So, I hope yall are having an amazing day, and thank you so much for the kindness and support you've shown me
