Posted May 12, 2013 Brilliant! We have three of each colour so far. I have updated the first page with them. You don't need to move your breeding dates at all, I will just run each week from Monday to the end of Sunday. As you post your results I will simply add a tick or a cross beside your shimmer. Very simple and very little work. The starting week is Monday 13th May to end of Sunday 19th of May. I will make a graph at the end of Sunday 19th on a Goodle Spreadsheet and link to it from here so we can all see the results. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 As you post your results I will simply add a tick or a cross beside your shimmer. Very simple and very little work. Dubious, I would find it even more interesting if you added a tick for successful shimmer breeding (shimmer egg), a line for a shimmerkin (other parent's breed) and a cross for unsuccessful breeding (no egg). Otherwise it doesn't show all the outcomes. I think it's great to work on statistics, I'm looking forward to see the results! Too bad I can't participate, I don't have a gold shimmer. Good luck!

As Dubious originally said, we're tracking the Shimmer eggs bred - not necessarily all the outcomes. Although I do think that a Shimmer-kin would be better than no egg at all (like a scale of 1-3, 1 being no egg, 2 being Shimmer-kin and 3 being Shimmer). It would also help with "Whether breeding is getting worse or better" or "What on average the current breeding is like". Are we allowed to use Fertility for this? Straight after breeding my metallics, I always use Fertility (in preparation for the next breeding in case I forget). I've done this with my Shimmers already. [i can stop using Fertility for a while, but it still means this week's breeding will have Fertility.] Share this post Link to post

Already ahead of you there. I found free to use tick and cross images and have added them to the front page. If you all would like an icon for a shimmer fail too then I could do that. Hmmm you bring up a good point about fertility, cfmtfm. Ideally everyone would be using fertility, whether that is possible though....There is no doubt that fertility will affect the outcome. I think we will all need to use it, I will add it to the sign up form. Edit: Added an icon for Shimmerfails, however to keep things simple and easy the graph will just show the number of shimmer eggs bred. Edited May 12, 2013 by Dubious Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 I'll make sure to reserve fertilizes for these three, then. Or perhaps we should note whether we did or did not use Fertility? Because I sometimes run out of them when I totally don't expect to Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Last two gave shimmerfail/kins. My second gen silver shimmer has either given fails or no egg for 5 weeks now. edit: Silver shimmer came off cool-down and gave a shimmer. No fertility used but the mate is a shadow walker so it was either a shimmer or nothing. Edited May 12, 2013 by rubyshoes Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) I'll help. Gold Shimmer: Sugoroku Waves, Wednesday, http://dragcave.net/lineage/cyZpB Silver Shimmer: Pirate Queen of Connacht, Saturday, http://dragcave.net/lineage/HUAm4 Bronze Shimmer: Do Ya' Feel Lucky, Wednesday, http://dragcave.net/lineage/LNc5B And for the record, today has been a bad shimmer day for me. I bred two silvers and two golds and ended up with two fails (one from a silver breeding and the other from a gold breeding) for my efforts. ...and no interest from a bronze. *sigh* Edited May 12, 2013 by Sir Barton Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 My latest bronze grew up a couple of days ago, yesterday I tried breeding him and got a fail. So my stats so far: Bronze Jukihoquea Kirameki = (3 breedings) 2 shims, 1 fail Sibofiqua Kirameki = (1 breeding) 1 shim Bilbo's Buttons = (1 breeding) 1 fail Vigadivo Kirameki = (1 breeding) 1 fail Silver Kiqubo Kirameki = (1 breeding) 1 no eggs Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 Nooooo~ Another shimmer refusing its only possible holiday mate T_T Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) I bred a silver Shimmer last week and it gave an egg of the other parent's breed (White, so common.) Edited May 12, 2013 by Coins In A Jar Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 I got my first "no egg produced" message today, but considering I got five eggs from the past five breedings, I still feel lucky. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Fifth week in a row that Luckiest Catch has failed to produce a shiny. I could curl up in a ball and cry, honestly. (Also, I hate Nebulae. HATEHATEHATEHATE them. Argh.) Edited May 12, 2013 by Amazon_warrior Share this post Link to post
Posted May 12, 2013 My latest bronze grew up a couple of days ago, yesterday I tried breeding him and got a fail.

Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Still looking for 6 more people willing to participate in our shimmer breeding experiment. All the info is in the OP. Edited May 13, 2013 by Dubious Share this post Link to post
Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Still looking for 6 more people willing to participate in our shimmer breeding experiment. All the info is in the OP. Send you a pm regarding the experiment And here is the form Gold Shimmer: Simon der Perlige, Monday lineage Silver Shimmer: Perlen Soshia, Monday lineage Bronze Shimmer: Seaglory of Christmas, Monday lineage Is there a problem, if they do not breed on the same day every week? as long as they breed every week?

Posted May 13, 2013 If needed, I have another 'set' of shimmers I could track here for the experiment. Share this post Link to post
Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Is there a problem, if they do not breed on the same day every week? as long as they breed every week? Added yours in, thank you! When they breed doesn't matter, as long as they breed sometime during the week. So you can breed yours on any day. I just asked for the day as a basic reference, you don't have to breed it on that day exactly. If needed, I have another 'set' of shimmers I could track here for the experiment. If you are able to do that it would give us our 6th set. Are you okay with fertilities for another set? On a general note: It starts from today so I imagine results will start coming in for any that breed today. If you could please post results as a quick.... Name of shimmer, no egg or shimmer egg or shimmerfail. Very quick, simple and easy for you and I can just update the first post from it. Edited May 13, 2013 by Dubious Share this post Link to post
Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) I'll join Gold Shimmer: Happy lo Caar, Tuesday, lineage Silver Shimmer: Vincent lo Caar, Thursday, lineage Bronze Shimmer: Hunter li Caar, Monday, lineage The bronze refused it's last mate, hope she doesn't do so today.

Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Going to copy Eldrene's idea because it's cute...and I'll join! Gold Shimmer: [The Head of Arrows], [Friday][lineage] Silver Shimmer: [shimmering Sinned], [Thursday][lineage] Bronze Shimmer: [42 Mysfytts on a Kiite], [Monday][lineage] Gold has only produced one gols so far with a '09 Vale. Didn't produce an egg his second breeding...and so has only breed bronze shimmers with this Bronze Shimmerscale mate. Not only that, but because The Head of Arrows and his mate The Butt of Arrows ar BOTH 5th gen arrowheads...very few know how to continue the lineages they make.
