Flight Rising Discussion

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4PuXZXp.png[/img][/center] You've been waiting for it, and it's finally here: the fated rematch between the four original elements have returned. Wind, Water, and Earth will be fighting to claim the pinnacle of Sornieth in full conquest, while Fire will be staying hot on their trails. Thousands of dragons will be exalted and money will be made (and lost). Continents will move, storms will rage, and the land will drown in flames. Will you pick a side, or defect to the highest bidder? This week, the flights of Sornieth bring you the second Battle of the First Four! [b]Who's currently pushing?[/b] - Wind is conquest pushing. - Water is conquest pushing. - Earth is conquest pushing. - Fire is profit pushing.

If I don't know of planned pushes in advance, I will reserve some posts in case, adding links and formatting as instructed. If I have advance warning of a push, I will list the related flight representatives; please try not to post until they get a chance to. Thanks. :) I will mainly be doing reserved posts and links for flights that are pushing that week. (The main exception is a flight festival, where the festival flight's organized hub will also be featured, along with links to the chest farming guide.) Advertising other things (such as mercenary threads and personal raffles) are totally fine to do in the thread, but pushing flights take priority, and other posts will be treated with a first-come, first-serve policy. Thank you for understanding! If you would like to reserve a first-page post in the next thread or to let me know that your flight will be pushing, please feel free to send me a message. Thanks in advance.

Please do not post until the reps get their reserves. We are waiting on Wind, Water, and Earth. I am not sure if Fire wants one since they're just profit pushing, but a Fire rep is free to reserve as well. I did not receive any word from Earth about their rep to ping, but feel free to take a post.

@Candlelit97 - I'm not sure if Fire would like a reserve or not, and it's not mandatory, so I'd say posting is all right after the battle starts. :)

@Joydom29 - Thanks! If you'd like, you could also use that post as Fire's reserve, since you're one of the first.
