Or to study the sudden weather changes... [br][br] [b]Who’s currently pushing?[/b] - Wind is profit pushing - Light is profit pushing [br][br] [b]Flight Dominance Links:[/b] [columns] [b][color=#9ACD32]Wind[/color][/b] - [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/fd3/2561762]Main Hub (in-flight)[/url] - [url=https://uquiz.com/iFs7Yf/wind-house-cup-sorting]Wind Houses Quiz (open for all)[/url] [nextcol][indent] [b][color=#d3b460]Light[/color][/b] - [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/fd8/2567283]Hub (in-flight)[/url] [/columns] [br][br] [b]Announced upcoming pushes:[/b] -[b]Nov 18 - 24:[/b] Earth (Festival) -[b]Nov 25 - Dec 1:[/b] Fire (Profit, with Art For Fodder) -[b]Dec 9 - 15:[/b] Earth (Conquest), Arcane (Profit), Nature (Profit) -[b]Dec 16 - 22:[/b] Shadow (Conquest), Fire (Conquest) [br] 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.

Wondering the meaning of those push "labels" in parenthesis up there? You are not the only one![br] In general lines, a [b]"conquest push"[/b] is one where a flight is [b]spending currency[/b] from their collective vault to try and win [b]first place glory[/b]. That is the ultimate goal and they are ready to buy dragons to exalt at a loss![br] A [b]"profit push"[/b] is one where a flight is focusing on [b]earning[/b] currency. It is possible, however, that they will decide to break even (or only earn minimal profit) in an attempt to get a higher placement in the dominance board.[br] Each flight approaches these concepts in a very different way and both types of push may or may not involve out-of-flight participation. Flights aren't asked to mention anything else other than "conquest" or "profit" when they do announce their pushes, but for added clarity [size=3][b][u]Dom Watch encourages them to mention any other relevant details if there are any (for example, involving OOF participation or the intensity of their pushes.)[/b][/u][/size][/columns] [/quote] [br][br] [b]Reserve posts:[/b] -[b]Nov 18 - 24:[/b] Ashki (Festival) -[b]Nov 25 - Dec 1:[/b] Fire (Duchess) -[b]Dec 9 - 15:[/b] Earth (Ashki), Arcane (Jazzyleia), Nature (Valyrie) -[b]Dec 16 - 22:[/b] Shadow (RedWillia) [br] This is a list of reserve posts requested by flight representatives. This option is available for flight-run pushes or push preparations that will run during the specified week. Flights are not required to reserve posts, and if no representative is specified, it will be assumed that the flight does not want a reserve post for that week.[br] Out of respect for pushing flights, reserve posters should always give priority to flights that are pushing during that week. Pushing flights should all get their reserved posts [i]before[/i] other flights. Please [b]do not[/b] announce that your flight is pushing if your flight isn't going to be primarily exalting dragons to your deity, as this would unfairly bump your flight up in the reserve post priority. [br][center]---[/center][br][br][br] [b]Push Announcements, Post Reservations, and Advertising[/b][br] Feel free to ping, PM, leave a profile message, yodel, smoke signal, or carrier pigeon the current host if you'd like to announce that your flight has a planned push and/or would like to reserve a front page post in a future thread.[br] Dom Watch is a Dominance discussion thread, so we will only advertise threads that are very specifically Dominance-related in the OP. These include, but are not limited to: Dominance raffles, fodder buys, art for fodder threads. The only exception is during elemental holidays, where we will also advertise the flight's event hub.[br] Advertising other things (such as mercenary threads and personal raffles) are totally fine to do in the thread, but please take care not to overwhelm the discussion![br] Thanks everyone and have fun Dom Watching![br][br] [br][center]---[/center][br] [center][size=5][url=https://goo.gl/forms/Zbl8C6Wj4Vti9Ae82][b]Dom Watch Ping List Google Form[/b][/url][/size][br] (click the link above to add yourself!)[br] [/center][br] [size=2]Fill out the form to automatically add or remove yourself.

Each house believes in different values that glorify the Windsinger, and this reflects in their lifestyles. This year the windsinger decided to once again shake up the festivities. He whispered a few words of magic into the wind to provide himself some entertainment. Turned out that the whispered magic was the same as before. The dragons of the houses launched into a heated competition, with their onlookers choosing a house to cheer for. Who will be victorious this year? The outcome depends on you. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/2RmtdWX.png[/img][/center] Windies! Make sure to join in for fun and glory to your house! Sending in your exalts gets you a badge at the end of the week!

Well, take a read below! [columns][img]https://i.imgur.com/JB30QcL.png[/img][nextcol] [size=5][b]House Apeliotes[/b][/size] [size=4]Wind of the East[/size] Autumn winds bring the celebration of the harvest and community, and the dragons that take after it is some of the most giving and supportive in all of Wind. Those of the Apeliotes house are empathetic and emotionally sensitive and are always willing to pitch in what they can spare to help those around them. They tend to be the shyest of the houses but make loyal and caring friends.

Of all of the Wind flight, they are the strongest warriors and the deftest fliers. They follow their intuition and are driven by a strong sense of duty. These dragons believe in fighting for what they think is right, and will exhaust every option to see a task through to the end.

A very spiritually and emotionally attuned group, they communicate through a variety of arts and bring music and color to the land. They focus on introspection and are always chasing their muse.

They live for the thrill of discovery and are constantly pursuing knowledge as well as uncharted land. Those of house Boreas tend to be dreamers, always searching for new possibilities. They tend to be the best diplomats and explorers and sometimes consider themselves to be the closest to the Windsinger.

Summer is long gone, and now the ocean winds are bringing rain, wind, and lightning instead. A thunderstorm is rolling in this week, and the Lightweaver has taken her place atop the Beacon of the Radiant Eye to watch over her children and light the way home for the ships still at sea. Why don't you send a dragon or two to keep her company?
