Do you try to carry on lineages of AP finds?

Recommended Posts

I like to try to keep nice lineages alive if I can, try to keep names going down the lines as well, but sometimes that is harder than you think it would be O_O

Well, since I focus on Water Walkers, I'll add a lineage name if I get one in the AP, but lately, it seems like the ONLY time there are WWs in the AP is when I'm scroll locked biggrin.gif

 

If the lineage is really long/messy/terribly inbred/et al, I'll freeze the hatchie.

I look at the lineage of everything I get unless it's CB, and if it's a Dorkface, Thuwed, whatever, a PB, staircase, something of that sort, or it just simply looks interesting, I do my best or stop at nothing to find a mate suitable enough for it (if the urge ever strikes me to breed it).

I always feel guilty if I don't, like I destroyed some beautiful project xd.png I found an even 3rd gen bluna, with two blunas for parents and two pairs of CB skywings and waters for grandparents. I MUST CARRY ON THE LINE

Depends. If I really like the lineage, I might. Doesn't even need to be an AP-find, if I get one as a gift/trade and I like the lineage, I might continue it.

I've snagged a beautifully lineaged 4th gen gold with CB stripes as mates. I've been hunting for one for probably a week or two and still no luck catching one :/ Let's hope I get one soon! X3

 

Other than that, I prefer CBs so I can breed 2nd gens for myself and other users ^-^ Depending if I get a rare with a small and neat looking lineage, I might carry it on like with my gold ^-^

Well, I'm really looking for a white or gold dragon with a pure white and gold lineage, to breed with Moravio Tirablanco Dorkface. ^^

Looking for a pink mate for him from a BBWxPink. Preferably with a BBW father. Not much of a lineage, I know, but I was so darned pleased with his parents I had to plan his perfect mate. laugh.gif

 

And I don't breed much yet, but I do try to respect nice lineages.

i got this gold here http://dragcave.net/lineage/aGmR in a trade nothing really special she is just even gen so i have found her an even gen mate, i have others with a pretty lineages i'm going to work on as well.

 

here are those i'm going to keep working on.

 

http://dragcave.net/lineage/fmCa thunder stairstep with CB grey mother and grandmother.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/7Cuu pure bred stairstep nebula with CB mother and grandmother.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/143Q even 3rd gen pure stripe i already have a mate for this one he is right here http://dragcave.net/lineage/OQFu i hope they will give me there first egg soon.

I foune both these in the AP http://dragcave.net/lineage/4qF8 and http://dragcave.net/lineage/n4in they are breeding together now.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/3fgE he was another random AP find i kept him because he was purebred i'm currently raising his mate.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/OUD4 found this one in the AP has a very nice lineage but no one claimed him so he is now my golds mate.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/pnf8 found this one in the AP too someone lost him as an egg but didn't wanted it back since they found something better.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/CsEH got her in a trade i just need to find a CB red mate for her since she refused the first one.

http://dragcave.net/lineage/hWmV got this one in a trade started to look for a good mate for her.

 

I know there are a lot i have been really lucky lately when trading or AP hunting.

I love to carry on interesting lineages from eggs I find on the AP.

 

This guy is one of my favorite dragons, and his lineage is inspired by an electric egg from the AP that had electric/waterhorse parents.

 

I found the female pink that makes up the bottom half of this lineage in the AP. I bred her to my even gen pink male, and now I'm working on an even gen dream dragon (with a single pink thrown in) to be her mate.

 

Finally, I found this beauty when I was still pretty new to DC. My husband and I are both gathering CB seasonal dragons so that we can make an even 6th gen seasonal one of these days. tongue.gif

I do try, when I get a nice lineage dragon.

 

As soon as I can breed an even 3rd female for this PB Stripe's mate, (influence has failed twice now :/ ) I'll be able to breed a 4th gen even to mate with this PB even Stripe. Then I'll be able to make 5th gen even PB Stripes! biggrin.gif

 

I do want to continue the line of the Dorkface I have (This guy) but I'd need a CB Female Gold to do it. I would totally give someone the first Gold (or the first White. or both) from the pair, if I could get a CB Gold. I'd really love to continue that specific stairstep another few generations. If only CB Golds weren't so hard to come by.

Yeah, I too often try to continue lineages of the eggs I find on the AP, especially if they have a lineage I love.

 

For example, this sweetling stairstep : http://dragcave.net/lineage/sPY9 - the lineage has now grown into this http://dragcave.net/lineage/C5mP

and

I loved this even-gen shallow water http://dragcave.net/lineage/MhKQ and I had a lot of fun building an identical mate from scratch, and now I have this http://dragcave.net/lineage/aWv8

I don't breed very much, but if I catch a Thuwed or Dorkface I definitely use the name.

I haven't kept any yet, but if I do come across something with a neat lineage I'll probably do my best to continue it. I think it's fun tracing dragons back over generations.

If I see a lineage I like then, yes I do. A few examples of lineages I would like to continue are:

This one and this stairstep.

I would like to find a CB stripe to make an alternating stair step for this guy.

I definitely want to continue this Glitch's lineage. I already have a male Ember-female Marrow pair I can breed a 2nd gen Ember male from. I just need to find an 2nd gen Ember egg or Ember female hatchie from a female Ember- male Marrow pair to use as the 2nd gen male's mate. Then, I can use their male hatchie as a mate for Trinity.

 

Usually, I pick whatever mate I deem suitable for a 2nd gen dragon regardless of whether of not its CB parents match the 2nd gen's, but there are few exceptions such as this one and this one.

 

I also want to try to find a suitable mate for this silver although it will be difficult to do so.

 

I'll also carry on lineage names. Well, most of the time.

Most of the time I will try to--especially if it's a nice even gen or stairstep lineage.

 

There are several that I have that I'm working on breeding appropriate mates for in order to get at least one more generation on the lineages I've come across in the AP.

I DO carry on the Dorkface, Red Sox, Thuwed and D'Hennegel lines. I also try to use names in my naming, like I recently snagged a Purple with 'Hex' in it (was also a Thuwed) that had something about South AMerica in the name too, so it became Incan Hex Thuwed.

Not really. If I grab a Dorkface or Thuwed, then I'll name them appropriately. Otherwise, since I really don't care about lineages, no. Dorkfaces or Thuweds that I breed, however, don't get named, but I do track them when I'm breeding.

Sometimes, it depends on how pretty/personally appealing the lineage is. There've been some dragons I've picked up for one purpose (freezing, etc.), but one look at the lineage convinced me I had to use it for something else - like the gorgeous lineage of the black I got a few days ago, which is going to alternate between breeding with my gold and silver.

 

Other times, if something has a nice lineage, it's obvious some effort's gone into it, but I don't feel like carrying it on myself or need that type more for something else, I'l re-abandon it to give someone else the chance and get a different one.

When I get a dragon, I don't really even bother looking at the lineage. tongue.gif I'm not bothered with the lineages or if it's inbred. Makes no difference to me. haha

Now that I found this electric from the AP, I will definitely be continuing it. I'll keep the Evanthe surname and since the name is Greek, I will find an appropriate matching one once it genders. Yes, I did Google it to see where the name came from. xd.png

 

Lineages are fun. biggrin.gif
