1. What flight are you?
A. Ice

2. When did you join that flight?
A. When I joined

3. Why that one?
A. It matched with some outside lore I had at that time for a favourite character aha

4. Do you ever think about changing flights? ?If so, to what one/s?
A. Not now, but I’d probably switch to Light or Arcane in the future.

5. Did you ever actually change your flight? If yes, what clan/s were you?
A. No

6. Do you feel a sense of genuine loyalty or pride for your current flight?
A. Kind of

7. Which flight festival (not your own) is your favourite one? (can depend on the theme in general, holiday items etc)
A. Starfall! I just kind of love the magic theme of it haha

8. Do you engage with flight exclusive auctions or forums?
A. Very rarely

9. If you have friends playing, what are their flights?
A. From the top of my head: Arcane, Lightning, Fire, Ice, Shadow, Wind. Maybe more, but I don’t remember now

10. Tell me your favourite thing about your flight!
A. Love the primal eyes

11. Which flight had the nicest players you've interacted with?
A. Don’t know

12. How hard was the decision to pick just one flight when you first joined?
A. Not that hard, all things considered.

1. What flight are you?
A. Plague!

2. When did you join that flight?
A. I think... about a year ago? Maybe a year an a half?

3. Why that one?
A. I found Plague fit my style waaaay more than my previous flight, Shadow. Plus, the red eyes were much more versatile than purple ones and generally go well with everything.

4. Do you ever think about changing flights? ?If so, to what one/s?
A. I'd had momentary thoughts of joining Arcane, and a few others here and there, but I always very easily conclude that Plague is a much better place for me to be and I'd regret leaving.

5. Did you ever actually change your flight? If yes, what clan/s were you?
A. I used to be a Shadow clan, and absolutely adored Shadow's glowing aesthetic. Then I moved to Nature with the idea that I'd have dragons and lore themed off of the seasons, then found it actually quite boring, and the green eyes were hard to work with.

6. Do you feel a sense of genuine loyalty or pride for your current flight?
A. Absolutely! I think a lot of Plaguelings are enthusiastic about being Plague, maybe because it's sometimes controversial (which I can side with /pos).

7. Which flight festival (not your own) is your favourite one? (can depend on the theme in general, holiday items etc)
A. I generally find Shadow to be the most exciting, but they all pretty much tie for me!

8. Do you engage with flight exclusive auctions or forums?
A. I occasionally pop on the Plague forums to see if there's any recent newbies joining so I can greet them, but I'm often late to the party.

9. If you have friends playing, what are their flights?
A. I have one friend who lives in Fire, and another in Lightning.

10. Tell me your favorite thing about your flight!
A. BONES!

11. Which flight had the nicest players you've interacted with?
A. Shadow was absolutely precious a lot of the time I was in it (though there is some bias there on my part), but I see a lot of friendly players in Ice and Water. Perhaps because Water isn't people's first choice usually until they learn about the lore with Tidelord?

12. How hard was the decision to pick just one flight when you first joined?
A. Honestly? I gravitated towards Shadow really fast. Not for any particular reason, I was just really excited to get into the game and was trying to get in as fast a possible, and my younger, edgier self saw Shadow as a magnet for angst. I'm kind of surprised I didn't go for Plague earlier, it's so much more 'evil'...

1. What flight are you?
Ice

2. When did you join that flight?
When I joined FR a little under a year ago

3. Why that one?
I liked the aesthetic and neutral eye color but also read that Ice was a good all one package which was good because I wasn't sure what to look for in a flight when I joined

4. Do you ever think about changing flights? ?If so, to what one/s?
I've thought about vacationing to Water, Wind, and/or Light but I think I'll always go back to Ice

5. Did you ever actually change your flight? If yes, what clan/s were you?
Nope, been an Icicle from the start

6. Do you feel a sense of genuine loyalty or pride for your current flight?
Definitely

7. Which flight festival (not your own) is your favourite one? (can depend on the theme in general, holiday items etc)
Water or Wind's. I really like the skins, items, and general themes

8. Do you engage with flight exclusive auctions or forums?
During dom pushes I do use the forums but I'm not much for small chat in the flight exclusive forums

9. If you have friends playing, what are their flights?
I have 3 friends who have joined, only one is active and she's in Lightning

10. Tell me your favourite thing about your flight!
Probably the community but I'm also pretty fond of the aesthetic

11. Which flight had the nicest players you've interacted with?
Don't think any flight stands out to me as having the nicest players overall. I've met nice people from all flights

12. How hard was the decision to pick just one flight when you first joined?
I debated between Water, Ice, and Shadow for a while but I decided on Ice when I did more research

Which flight had the nicest players you've interacted with? 12. How hard was the decision to pick just one flight when you first joined?

1. What flight are you?
Lightning

2. When did you join that flight?
When I joined the game in December 2018

3. Why that one?
I wasn't sure whether I should join Lightning or Wind actually... since everything seemed weather-based and I'm easily positively affected by weather I chose what gave me most energy, between Lightning and Wind it was just the deity that made me choose Lightning.

4. Do you ever think about changing flights? ?If so, to what one/s?
I did think about joining Earth (also Plague, Ice, Water and Light) for the eyes actually. Earth eyes fit my dragon preferences and barely look out of place. But I don't hatch dragons very often, so at the moment the weathery feeling is still more important.

5. Did you ever actually change your flight? If yes, what clan/s were you?
No

6. Do you feel a sense of genuine loyalty or pride for your current flight?
Not a lot. Sometimes I'm happy another person is in the same flight and of course there's dominance in which I casually participate, but I still get excited for my flight and I'm sure I'd still mostly root for Lightning if I ever join another flight.

7. Which flight festival (not your own) is your favourite one? (can depend on the theme in general, holiday items etc)
I don't really have a preference, but I tend to be the most impressed by Plague skins.

8. Do you engage with flight exclusive auctions or forums?
Flight exclusive auctions never, forums sometimes during dominance.

9. If you have friends playing, what are their flights?
Friends I knew before and interact(ed) with often? There were three, two Arcane and one Fire. Out of them one is still active and in Arcane.

10. Tell me your favourite thing about your flight!
In case that wasn't obvious... thunderstorms! I also love the map.

11. Which flight had the nicest players you've interacted with?
No idea. I might have a tendency to get closer to Plague players though.

12. How hard was the decision to pick just one flight when you first joined?
Hm... hard, but I didn't put too much thinking into it. I didn't think it would be that important.

1. What flight are you?
A. Ice

2. When did you join that flight?
A. August-? Unsure

3. Why that one?

4. Do you ever think about changing flights? ?If so, to what one/s?
A. Not really

5. Did you ever actually change your flight? If yes, what clan/s were you?
A. I changed from Wind, I didn't like the eyes.

6. Do you feel a sense of genuine loyalty or pride for your current flight?
A. I do! Ice kids forever (plus I get an infinite supply of birdmojis :birdknight:)
