Flight Rising Discussion

[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4PuXZXp.png[/img][br][br] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mFZ35nA.png[/img][/center][br] Do you ever look at those traditional holiday pictures in the media and wonder how it would feel to be cold in December? Have you ever wondered what snow looks like? Not the weird thing they call "bottled snow" on shops, but [i]real[/i] snow? Do you have trouble figuring out if your end of the year is dominated by the Flamecaller, the Lightweaver or both?! If you are one of the 12% living south, this one's for you! If you are one of the 88% living north, come flock south with the birds - and Olaf - for a nice bit of warmth this week! It's time to revive some good old stories. :D Not everyone gets time off for leisure, though; if you look closely at the picture, you may even be able to hear the Stormcatcher screaming "GET BACK TO WORK!!" in the distance...[br][br][br] [columns][color=transparent]>>>>>>[/color][nextcol] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/84mvhtsvtl18f6g/frvs1a.png[/img] [nextcol][color=transparent]>>[/color][nextcol]----- [size=5][b][font=Helvetica][color=#000000]WHO'S CURRENTLY PUSHING?[/color][/font][/b][/size][br][size=4] [color=#000000]- Fire and Light are conquest pushing - Lightning is profit pushing [/size] -----[nextcol][color=transparent]<<[/color][nextcol] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/84mvhtsvtl18f6g/frvs1a.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/EP0tyGE.png[/img][nextcol][color=transparent] <<<<<[/color][/columns] [br] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ixVUlp7.png[/img][/center] [size=5][font=Helvetica][b]FLIGHT DOMINANCE LINKS[/b][/font][/size][br][columns][size=4] [img]https://i.imgur.com/WpFlPTq.png[/img] [b][color=#d3b460]Light[/color][/b] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2944252/1]Out-of-Flight Raffle[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drw/2944220]Public Buy[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/2943494/1]Illuminarti (Art-for-fodder)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2945482]Grab Bags[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2945256/1#post_2945256]Joint Story Thread[/url][br][br] [nextcol][size=4][br][img]https://i.imgur.com/WpFlPTq.png[/img] [b][color=#FF8C00]Fire[/color][/b] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2942987]Out-of-Flight Raffle (and Public Buy)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/2945192]Foddart (Art-for-fodder)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2942701#post_2942701]Familiar Field Notes (event)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2942713#post_2942713]Marshmallow Roast (event)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2943937]BYOA - Pirate Pretend (event)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2945144]Lit Scavenger Hunt (event)[/url] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2945240]Waffle Raffle[/url] [nextcol][size=4][br][img]https://i.imgur.com/WpFlPTq.png[/img] [b][color=#40E0D0]Lightning[/color][/b] - [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/2945251]Prodartivity (art-for-fodder)[/url][br][br][br][br][br][br] [/size][/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ixVUlp7.png[/img][/center] [br][columns] [color=transparent]>[/color][nextcol][br][br][br] [img]https://i.imgur.com/fHq1OIW.png[/img] [nextcol][color=transparent]>[/color][nextcol]---------- [size=5][font=Helvetica][b][color=#000000]ANNOUNCED UPCOMING PUSHES[/color][/b][/font][/size][br][size=4] [color=#000000]- [b]Dec 20 - 26:[/b] Earth (Conquest)[/color] [color=#000000]- [b]Dec 27 - Jan 2:[/b] Water (Profit)[/color] [color=#000000]- [b]Jan 17 - 23:[/b] Ice (Festival)[/color] [color=#000000]- [b]Feb 14 - 20:[/b] Shadow (Festival)[/color] [/size] [nextcol][color=transparent]<<[/color][nextcol] [/columns] [br] The above list is only for announced upcoming pushes.

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.

Please do not post until the representatives have gotten their reserves!

Pushing flights reserve first:
- Lightning: @DeadlyInformant (Since the hype clearly got the best of us, please let me know if you'd like anything to be added to the OP, or I can make room for it in this post too!)

- Light: @Pachirisu
- Fire: @Duchess

Other Dom-event-running flights reserve after pushing flights: (none)

@protowilson
sorry to bother, but the OOF Raffle seems to only links to the hub, not to the raffle! ;0; (same goes for hub link...)


_{edit: entirely unrelated, but I realised we entirely forgot about lightning oh no--}

@crowvidae AUGH! Sorry, it should be fixed now!

felt so good to exalt all that stored fodder, my lair space is FREEE [img]https://media0.giphy.com/media/5nsiFjdgylfK3csZ5T/giphy.gif[/img]

[quote name="crowvidae" date="2020-12-13 01:11:11" ] edit: entirely unrelated, but I realised we entirely forgot about lightning oh no-- [/quote] That is true (it's the hype!), but I think we can keep the ball rolling as it is... @ Lightning Not sure you all had any threads to be linked, but if you'd like anything to be displayed this week (either OOF or IF), just let me know and I'll put it in the OP!
