Metal Census (of orginal gold/silver dragons)

[DarkEternity]

Aim: to determine the eveness of the spread of the original Gold and Silver Dragons.

[Varekis]

That's one skewed curve you're going to be looking at. My vote goes to 10 - 14. And most of my metallics are siblings (only 4 of them aren't ), if you're interested in those kinds of stats too. o3o

[xLemon]

Including my hatchie and egg, 4 :3

[MysticTiger]

1 Gold that Never Produces any Eggs

1 Silver (and 6 Offspring) that Produce Eggs I end up Gifting/Trading

 

7 Total. None of them are CB.

 

EDIT:

Who said 100+?! We have a Rare Hoarder here! LOL

[DarkEternity]

I guessed that.. ;-;

D'ya have a better spread for voting?

[Silverwingwyvren]

Two none sibiling golds

 

One CB Silver

[Infinis]

My vote goes for 100+; I have something around 130 silvers and 60-odd golds. /greedyhoarder

 

o3o

[lightningsky]

(40 to 100) i have a combined total of 61 golds and silvers...22 gold, 39 silver. i figure that the older the player is, the more metals...i have more silvers than golds 'cause i liked silvers more and back then, they kinda...bred so easily. a lot easier than now haha.

[BirdSpirit]

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

[Cheystar]

I voted between 30-45. It would probably be closer to 60 or more, but I gift a lot of mine away.

 

I do have CB's (1 gold, 2 silvers), but they have never produced an egg at all.

 

Edit: I have 44, just counted. And a bunch come on line to breed today and tomorrow, so we will see if they are producers this week.

 

Edit: My CB Silver female just produced an egg. Shocked me.

[Kizzikins]

4 gold, 4 silvers, one frozen silver hatchie...8 total

[Fuzzbucket]

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Not so. Gold trophy, good connection, total of 9 - and one was a gift.

 

ETA 4 m, 2f silver (2 CB, and very hard work; one was a gift, one caught in the AP. The other two I bred from my own.) 1m, 2f gold - two caught in the AP; one bred from my own.

 

Edited cos I first thought this was about the new stuff. Only just got up - excuse me ! But the principle holds. Of course the rich get richer if they work at it. The poor can too. The first ones I got were caught on the most amazingly appalling dialup, which dropped (I kid you not) about every 20 minutes with no warning. And you know what - now that I have a good connection, they are no easier to catch. It;'s sheer luck whether you happen to see them, more than connection. my newest silver actually sat in the biome through three refreshes before I realised what it was

I have six: four Silvers and two Golds. Didn't catch a one of 'em, was gifted one of the Silvers and the two Golds. Bred up the rest from those three.

[Iside]

4 golds (nice lineaged but that never produce gold eggs), 3 silvers (bad lineaged) and one frozen silver

 

So range 7-10 for me

[Cheystar]

Not so. Gold trophy, good connection, one gold - and that was a gift.

I agree with fuzz. I gift a ton of eggs, metals included.

 

My connection is rated F, I'm on the very outskirts of a DSL, all I can get in the boonies, and I've caught CB's.

 

The metals go on breeding sprees, and then they completely stop for a long time. Right now they are breeding a little, but I've gone several months without any breeding at all, and that is breeding them all weekly.

[Maiden]

I have eighteen metallics - a good thing, too, because the number nineteen got left right out.

 

Five Golds. By some miracle, while AP hunting one day, I caught a Gold hatchie. The other four golds are her children and grandchildren.

 

Thirteen Silvers. The first Silver I ever got was a gift, and she's got a clean but unremarkable lineage. Most of my silvers are her children. I caught two in the AP, but their lineages are so messy I rarely even bother to breed them. I have only one Silver with a lineage that warrants constant breeding - she's a fifth generation Dorkface.

 

I've been on DC for three years and have never caught a CB Metallic. All my shinies were gifts, AP catches, or bred by me.

[Eldrene]

Close to a hundred. Didn't really count.

 

Have 1 CB Gold, 3 CB silvers (all female). A ton of descendants with questionable lineage, maybe a third are inbred. There were no online tools to check lineage before. Some are trades. Most are descended from common dragons since Rare x Rare were auto-refusals then.

[cottondragon]

I have close to 100 I think, got to count them one day Most of my golds were breed from one pair-they have been super productive <3

[Becka]

100+

 

90 Golds and about 10 silvers I guess....

 

I was around when golds were much easier to get....

[sparkdragon]

18 all told: 1 frozen, 9 golds, 8 silvers

 

Earliest acquired in May 2009 and latest April 2011. So yeah. They breed horribly. A large number were traded/gifted and thus unrelated to each other. I've only ever bred 5 golds and 3 silvers (and kept them all barring 1 of those golds).

[Gluria]

1 Silver

1 Gold

[dragongrrl]

So far, out of almost 1200 dragons, I have 1 CB Gold which I caught in the cave in August, and one 6th gen, not too bad a mess, with no inbreeding, 1 spiral 5th gen Silver which was a very special Christmas gift, and a 3rd gen inbred frozen hatchling from the AP. Total = 4.

 

My CB male has two Gold children, both traded away, but my other Gold and my Silver girl haven't produced any eggs yet, but I'll keep trying.

[Nine]

Two.

 

One bred Gold gifted to me November '10, and one CB Silver I caught Christmas '11. Overlook is a sad, lonely old lady with no children... and Number Nine is my speshul boy.

[Loliwo]

Four of each, one silver is frozen. So that makes 8 in total. One CB of each. Caught the silver one in the cave (Aug 06, 2011), the CB gold was a very lucky AP catch (Nov 10, 2011). One silver is the child of the CB. The rest of my metallics are messy lineaged.

[PointOfOrigin]

Been here for 3 months and caught one CB silver. As for the golds I've seen only 1 in the cave and missed it

 

But really, when you look at it it's all matter of luck and how much time you spend hunting.
