Link to another thread of hers:

She seems young. I hope she's young, anyway; if she's in her late twenties or more and still doing things like this, she's probably never going to learn better.

Considering Nature's tendency to aggressively bump raffle/PB prices during a battle, I don't think it's an out of place concern. They barely went half an hour without bumping during their fight with Shadow and kept bumping 'round the clock on Light, so.

I'm all for straight people to put their sexual orientation in their profile, as it helps normalize it for everyone else who wants to share their orientation. However, they have it in italics in their profile, unlike everything else. Just strikes me as spiteful, especially because of the homophobic signature: https://i.imgur.com/ndVxu5e.png

"Earth likely needs to conserve resources"

do you still believe in the "earth is so tiny and so poor" argument, because that's not what we saw last december

they have some damn rich players, even if their flight vault might not be huge (tbh that's convenient, nobody can leak their actual figures if the money is on a few personal vaults)

maybe nature needs to conserve resources (because of their fest) but earth only isn't spending more because they don't need to. they also got themselves a boost by buying more mercs and burning hatchies on the firstday

Wow.

There's a difference between "I'm straight!" and "I'm straight and I think gay people should die, the filthy sinners!" and she breeeezed way past that line.

I write lore for my hatchlings, as well as give em a nice formatted bio, and links to the subspecies they're affiliated with, but I don't mind if people delete the content- especially if they're regening them! I mostly put it in there to make them more appealing to folks who do like subspecies/lore!

i cannot imagine not only wanting people to die for our orientations, but thinking dragon fucking neopets is a good avenue to advertise that

It was all or nothing battle. Do you really think they can pull those prizes out of their collective asses for every dom battle? Maybe once a year, heck I don't even think all 2 years is even realistic. I am pretty sure we won't see a battle like this ever again where KS things where raffled off.

like one time i tried asking her out for lunch during the hols and she fixed a date with me but literally never replied when i sent a followup message asking /where/ she wanted to meet, lol.

idk, my other friend says she's just forgetful but i cant' help feeling a twinge of anxiety. i just wanna talk to yoooooouuu >_<

Y’all should or else what’s the point in PUSHING and blowing your resources?

NAYRT
I see how you got confused, but AYRT is referring to upthread where someone from Nature said Nature was one of the few flights to ever beat Light indicating that means Nature has a better chance than Light to pull this off. That win was indeed over two years ago.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
And are you doing science, Nature? I’d love to see the data.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
If Earth would post their numbers for their fight with Light, we could all do science. I was hoping to see those show up after Light went public.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
if the ratio wasn't what we actually think it is, light would've at least gotten some flips last december.

but sure, if anyone manages to do any science, i'd love to see some numbers from earth.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm not talking about the ks, but about the money they blew in the constant price raises. the people who had that money could presumably earn it again, why not.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
To quote someone earlier:

"EvL was different, an all-out for the title of the main dom flight, with KS prizes and other stuff, and tons of dragons sent to PB and bought from mercs which further fed the ratio. Also, it was kind of personal at that point for many players."

I don't think what Earth rolled out for LvE is at all indicative of what they're capable of on a regular basis. In reality, the funds they have dedicated to conquest are probably nothing extraordinary. It’s the handful of rich af players that potentially make them scary, and I don’t think Earth as a whole can always count on those rich players being a resource. While I agree with you that they can always make their money back, I don’t see them getting that interested in every battle.

I could definitely be wrong, but we have only ever seen Earth spend to that extent against Light. For me, it's too soon to tell.

That said, I don't feel like Earth is as poor and smol as some of them portray either. They are over 10K members now, and I remember Fire and Water doing plenty at that size. I think they have an average conquest vault. Not too big and not too small.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They won't because that would reveal that they only won because of the ratio heavily leaning towards their benefit.

Earth is ballin and has a lot of money. However this battle won't make earth and its rich players try to spend as much money. A nonny earlier said that this was a friendly push and earth's guaranteed a win anyways.

Light was itching for a fight and they had a vault of over a year of savings since they haven't had a dom fight since....light vs plague I think? They were a much bigger threat than nature is.

No offense to nature either. They have their festival in a month too so it's not like they can throw 100% into this fight.

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Light did spend their vault money since LvP. I think they did dip into it during their impromptu battle with Earth earlier, and then also during their battle with Nature, when Light had fatigue going on. So I'm not sure I would say Light went in with a year+ of savings.

Okay so I don't agree with this person or their views at all but considering they could be young and misguided, comments like this on their clan page is not helpful.

Block them and report them but let's not try to one-up them in terms of cringyness yeah?

(Anonymous) 2018-04-09 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt

i agree that it might not be indicative of what they could do on a regular basis, if they were to conquest regularly, but imo it is indicative of what they could do if they wanted or needed.

unfortunately, the ratio means they don't have to do much to bag a win, if they're ever facing a strong flight, they'll have a lot to pull out, either items, money or both

so basically, earth does not need to conserve resources, they aren't poor by any definition (and money does last them much longer given oof ratio), they just don't ever need to spend a lot.
