Posted February 12, 2013 Looking through the thread for mirror and it seems different people have different ideas on what a mirror is. I saw one calling this mirror http://dragcave.net/lineage/rdEnc, http://dragcave.net/lineage/g7IhG and http://dragcave.net/lineage/fRfIu and another calling these circles http://dragcave.net/lineage/h0Ncc and http://dragcave.net/lineage/GdGpA when I would have thought they were mirrors. So maybe we can get a few more opinions on a mirror. -Rockin' on - I really don't have a name for your lineage maybe others do? Share this post Link to post
Posted February 12, 2013 Well a mirror used to be just a perfect checker and a checker was anything with only 2 breeds, so apparently things have just changed. I see checker being used now instead of perfect checker, which makes the old checkers what, plain even gens? Gah. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 12, 2013 To me mirrors are any lineage shape where the bottom half of the lineage is a mirror of the top half. So of the links ruby has, I would only consider the Terrae a mirror. @Karobb - I think the checkers where there are only 2 breeds are called twisted checkers now. But I'm not sure if that's only for where the gender of each breed alternates in each generation and not for where the genders of the breeds are completely random. :s Share this post Link to post
Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Wondering what you would call this? http://dragcave.net/lineage/YsXkl Edited to add.. I am hoping someone will give me some ideas with continuing this lovely Royal Egg I caught last night! How do I continue? IS this a Checkerboard? http://dragcave.net/lineage/sLaWm Edited February 13, 2013 by Sannois Share this post Link to post

IS this a Checkerboard? http://dragcave.net/lineage/sLaWm I would call the first one a checker, just not a perfect checker, but apparently people have messed the whole thing up, so who knows. The second one is a purebred even gen. Edited February 13, 2013 by Karobb Share this post Link to post
Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I'm a newbie (though eager to learn), so excuse me if this question sounds silly, or if it's posted in a wrong topic. I have found this egg in AP: -please use lineage links- /view/Enc2I[/url] Could somebody tell me if it is a Dorkface? I know from Wikia page what a Dorkface is, but I'm too new to the game to be sure about this one. Edited February 14, 2013 by rubyshoes Share this post Link to post

Yes, it is. The original Dorkface pair is just really far back there. There's a thread in the Breeding subforum about Dorkfaces, if you're interested.

Posted February 15, 2013 Thank you for the help re: my lineage...but Im still not quite sure what to call it...however,this isa link that is more than half of my lineage(almost finished)...perhaps this link is less confusing to those who would know its "namesake" http://dragcave.net/lineage/OOZmZ Rockin' On Share this post Link to post

Posted February 23, 2013 Well,as I replied to the other PM..I certainly DO appreciate ALL the hunting for a name that SHOULD be at least "listed in a 'off-center' terminology name" , or I would have thought at the LEAST,its got a type of NAME for a SIMILAR LINEAGE . Oh well,anyone thats got any ideas,they are all greatly appreciated if they might give me an idea what to name this unique(but very do-able) lineage...a new creation would be fine...Ill take the credit & name it myself...the "Rockin Mystical" lineage or some such...*joking* (SORT OF) ! Thank you again.... Rockin' On Share this post Link to post
Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I may be a little late to discovering this thread, however, I have noticed that "Mirror" usually refers to a Mirror Image or Reflection. Therefore, only the Terrae: http://dragcave.net/lineage/h0Ncc is actually a true mirror lineage. Also, there seems to be Arrow-Head which would be your lineage: http://dragcave.net/lineage/g7IhG. (going like >). If it is going opposite direction (going like <) it is called an Arrow. (though in another thread of terminology this is also called an arrowhead: http://dragcave.net/lineage/jQrqp) Ttinsels seem to have brought out the Comb-tooth (stacked going in same direction) and the Zig-Zag (stacked going back and forth). What you are referring to as "circles" I have seen more referred to as Hearts: http://dragcave.net/lineage/fRfIu Checkerboards discussion I have seen seemed to settle on a Checkerboard being all males of one breed and all females of a 2nd breed. example: http://dragcave.net/lineage/AHvad An Alternating-Checkerboard was where the breed genders changed in the second generation. example: http://dragcave.net/lineage/LFNZ7 Perfect seems to refer to when a specific extra something is achieved in a goal, according to the Even/Perfect Gens v5 thread. I believe the answer to Rockin' On is that her lineage is a Chevron. Edited February 23, 2013 by grammydragon Share this post Link to post

Posted February 24, 2013 I'm not sure what type of Lineage this is? Please and thanks for your help! I'm not sure either but it is pretty. I replied mainly so that hopefully others will see your post and might have a name for your pretty lineage. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2013 I believe that is a type of arrow lineage, not all that common tho. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 24, 2013 That is nice, danielle02212001. First of all, you have 2 Spirals joined together. Most of what I see called Arrows are two Stairsteps joined together, opening the opposite of an Arrowhead. example: http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...ate=9EQ66&style[bg]=y I seem to remember a while back reading a reference to a "comb teeth" pattern. I am wondering if your lineage is an example of that description? I have some like that also so hope there is a specific name for it or perhaps we have to come up with one!

Posted February 28, 2013 I think this looks pretty cool, what kind is it? Share this post Link to post
Posted February 28, 2013 I think this looks pretty cool, what kind is it? I don't think it has a specific name besides uneven- Peanut M and Ms' lineage is a combination of 2 pennants (stairsteps bred together). But, This Is My Angry Face is a Gen2, and doesn't really match the mate's lineage. I hope this helps. I'm really bad at explanations. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks, I figured out that it was stairstep's after posting, but it's cool that it's called pennants. Share this post Link to post
