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.

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:
- Fire: @dreamclaws @romeow @AkaDC


Other Dom-event-running flights reserve after pushing flights:
- None!

We are doing an experiment. This is an all-flights merc order. Anyone from any flight can pledge to send in dragons for a set price.[/b][/size] [nextcol][color=transparent]...........[/color] [nextcol][emoji=veilspun confused size=2][nextcol][color=transparent].................[/color][/columns] [img alt=""]https://64.media.tumblr.com/d3d80f7b718d1bb2d13ece1ecd4a9fbd/6e1421f57235d081-7a/s1280x1920/4ef9db0e3d87babbaecb9feeeb61b5069ce389d7.png[/img] [columns][nextcol][color=transparent].........[/color] [nextcol]--------------- [b]What is a merc buy?[/b] Normally, mercing is when an individual or flight buys a (usually) set amount of leveled dragons for a specific price. These dragons are ordered from a flight's merc company. So for example, let's say a Nature member wants to order from Plague's foddart, but doesn't have time to level, so they contact Fire's mercs to order the 500 level 5s they need. [b]So... this is a public merc buy?[/b] Yep! All OOFers can see that we are currently buying. After the order has been completed, we stop accepting dragons until we need more, at which point we put out another order. OOF trainers sign up to a pinglist to be informed of when we are accepting more dragons. We will not accept dragons unless there is an open order. [b]How is this different from a normal merc order?[/b] Merc orders are usually sent to one flight at a time. If someone is ordering from multiple flights, they each have their own spreadsheets and the mercs from different flights have no contact. In this public merc buy, our sheet is open to mercs from all flights. Mercing is also usually not done as a replacement for a public buy. ------- [nextcol][color=transparent].........[/color][/columns] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drw/3455375/1#post_3455375][img alt="Merc Buy Thread in blue text."]https://file.garden/aI4-gsGM62x0i7tA/941d3488be83541dd213a56be4c96f37.png[/img][/url] [b][i]Come on in, the mosh pit's fine![/i][/b] [img alt=""]https://file.garden/aI4-gsGM62x0i7tA/9bb6dd2fdd0255e59c2b12ed2f33677eef20ee0e.png[/img][img alt=""]https://file.garden/aI4-gsGM62x0i7tA/1656be15b9d3493322ced519d921883cf584303a.png[/img][img alt=""]https://64.media.tumblr.com/2e6af1ceb7de7b44766b60ec67a70f5b/d23d80c79fd7455c-5b/s250x400/16b433196b559ddd32f3c8e11abb1c53cba9fa2a.png[/img] [i][size=1]badges by anyxtrine[/size][/i][/center]
