Goodness, what a stormy week. We even got some flash flooding in California! It looks like Lightning has most likely struck first, but there's still a little time for Wind to blow them away. And Earth, just what the heck is going on?! Cool badges, a mysterious "shakedrill," and consistently high standings? Is there a shonen sports manga happening in your forums or something?
This week, believe inSteven the Arcanist! It's almost time for that most magical of celebrations, the Starfall Celebration! To prepare, Arcane will be pushing for holiday dominance. Make sure you check out their holiday hub as soon as it's up, and if you don't like pink and purple... well, deal with it and check it out anyway. They're great colors. :D
While that's going on, Water's holding a profit push to both make money and angle for extra gathering turns during the celebration. Will any other flights challenge them in their quest for money and Shards? Shadow, maybe? Does Droolmama still have a thing going on with Spaceparent, or did they break up?
Who's currently pushing?
Arcane is conquest pushing for their holiday
Water is profit pushing
Fire is profit pushing
Light is profit pushing
Dom Links
Arcane's Starfall raffle - lots of items from festivals past, and plenty of art too.
Arcane's in-flight raffle - for Arcanites who don't read their own forums. :P

If anyone has any raffle or buying threads associated with this week's dom push(es), just send me a note and I'll link them here.
Need fodder/want to offloadyour uglies dragons in support of another flight? Try the Inter-Flight Fodder Buyer Spreadsheet!
Wondering how the flights have been doing so far this year? Then you want the 2015 Dom Stats tracker. Featuring a ridiculous ton of stats and charts; just look for the tabs along the bottom of the sheet, courtesy the hard work of @acheronta. Also contains links to all past DW threads.
Announced upcoming pushes:
None at the moment.
The above list is only for announced upcoming pushes. Flights are not required to announce their plans or decide in advance if they will push, so this list is not comprehensive or certain.
If you would like to reserve a first-page post in the next thread, just PM @Sylvandyr.
So hey, last week was pretty stormy, eh? I received a lot of supportive messages and comments (thank you so, so much!), and I told those who asked I was planning to continue Dom Watch same as always. However, since then I've seen a number of comments off-site and frankly, they've both shocked and depressed me.
I've always been very proud of this thread and how lovely everyone in it is. Terrible puns, rallying dom themes, pokemon gifs... Plague, Light is only a little jealous you used Mad Max before we could, you did it so well. And one of my favorite memories was floating the idea of a "pride raffle" only to be inundated with support and prizes, then having so many people show up for that raffle and be a small part of what made the Battle of the First Four so amazing.
Dom Watch has been running for over eight months now (!!) and I've always done my best to present a place for all flights to both have fun and chart what's going on with the board. I'm a proud Acolight, but I made everyone as welcome as I could. It was a wonderful milestone when I could start counting on dom teams to want to post on the first page instead of the occasional odd request it was before. Between that and a couple threads topping the "most viewed" list back in the spring, I felt like the thread had really "made it."
I don't know what I could do to make Dom Watch better, and I don't want it to be controversial. I just want it to be full of neat stats and fun. So I've decided to take a break from hosting for a while. Acheronta is currently unavailable, so I'm handing the thread and the spreadsheets over to @Sylvandyr. They've always been a level-headed presence in the thread and I'm sure they'll do a wonderful job in charge. If you're interested in reserving a post, have updates on upcoming battles, want to submit images, or anything else to do with Dom Watch, just give them a holler.
Thank you again to everyone who said nice things. It means more to me than you can probably guess. :) I hope you'll continue to support Dom Watch in this next chapter of it's life! <3
