Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Congrats Terrafreaky! And thanks everyone for supporting the namefest! /kicks ratios, I'm in a no bred-egg-arama We're having a raffle variant. This one won't involve breeding, but naming.To enter, post a screenshot of your scroll with the option /show unnamed dragons checked. It should be pretty empty. Growing/frozen hatchies don't count against you. Obviously, some people have special codes they keep. If that's the case, just post and let me know. Now, that does not mean it's okay to have 20+ dragons un-named because "It takes me awhile to pick names" We feel your pain, but that's not going to get an entry. As far as tickets, this one is you get a ticket in the order that you enter. First to post is 1, etc. 1 entry per person. Prize! You get to request what Metal gets bred to and you get the egg(s). You get 5 eggs, stopping at your first 2g prize. Refusals and no interest don't count, only eggs. So you could get 4 2g fails and one shiny, but if that 5th egg is a fail you are out of luck and only get five 2g kins. Also, I have to work breedings around the lottery and holidays so it may be fast... or not 8) Welcome! During some conversation with other breeders, we came to notice that some commons are all but impossible to breed with other commons. For whatever reason, their ratios are so out of whack that it's almost impossible to get the other dragon out of them after months of trying. So this raffle is an attempt to straighten out some of the worst offenders by breeding eggs and sending them to the AP. There will be 4 sections to this post. Welcome! (You're Here!) Faq and Rules Codes and Forms The Ticket List Raffle Status: Waiting on egg!

Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) July 6-14! We are doing a Variant Raffle, see the First post and ignore this one! Quick Summary Breed 20 approved common dragons for one ticket. Take Screenshot of action log showing breeding. Post link to screenshot with ticket number. Run Amok through AP. Extended Edition Breed 20 approved common dragons for one ticket.: It’s prefered to breed from the common so I don’t have to double check your mates. The common must be one from the approved list, not a special request or one under consideration It does not have to be an even-gen or stair step lineage to qualify. One count per Breeding. That means breeding 2 approved commons to each other does not count twice, only once. Don't use the same ticket for two different raffles. IE, Do not breed the dragon twice during a raffle (s). Take Screenshot of action log showing breeding. Screenshots can vary in size, it’s very helpful if you mark where each ticket starts and stops. Folders of screenshots are fine. I’d suggest posting links rather than images, as this thread may get a lot of traffic it could run up your bandwith allowance. Post link to screenshot with ticket number Pick any number you want, if you end up with a duplicate and do not change it, you will be assigned the first number available starting from 1. Run Amok through AP. Amok! Amok! Amok! *cough* The Departure Board is a lovely place to release hatchies should you choose. Addendum This requirements of the raffle are meant to change. After all, if this works we won’t need to play ratio clean up. So I’m including forms to suggest pairings or remove them. If there is a seasonal, holiday or uncommon pairing that you’d like to see in the AP, feel free to ask. I’ll list it as as separate special request and good luck to the ap hunters Raffle Donations: Given that this thread is meant to improve breeding ratios, I feel it’s against it’s interest to take multiple donations of prizes or metals, though I appreciate the thought. What I will take is a 2g prize so Metal can get a break, or a CB Metal, same reasoning. Prior Winners: Prior winners will be given a handicap of 10 points from their numbers. So, if there is a tie, the prior winner loses by default. Glomp Raffles Glomp Raffles are inspired by Glomp Gifting. They may happen at any time, but they are fairly simple and usually depend on two things. Do I have time for another raffle? Do I have a 2g egg to give away? If the first answer is no and the second yes, a Glomp Raffle happens. A Glomp Raffle works much like those in IRC, there is a list of people, each has a number. A number is rolled and whomever's number comes up, wins. Every person that has submitted in current and past raffles is counted once. And yes, winning a Glomp raffle will incur a handicap for regular raffles. But no, I do not handicap Glomps. They are FFA (free for alls) and meant to be happy surprises Edited July 7, 2016 by Vhale Share this post Link to post

Posted June 15, 2015 Can I enter again? If not don't worry, I'll still breed my commons, just won't send in screenshots (anddd maybe not breed the few messy ones in the bunch this time ) Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 Can I enter again? If not don't worry, I'll still breed my commons, just won't send in screenshots (anddd maybe not breed the few messy ones in the bunch this time ) I bred along with the last group, but never made official entries. Managed to drop a few hundred eggs that way. I doubt Vhale will swat anyone for doing this, since I never got swatted last time. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 Can I enter again?

So, if there is a tie, the prior winner loses by default. Looks like it's allowed, but at a bit of a disadvantage vs people who haven't won yet. Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 What Kith said, people get to win 2 prizes so I would feel bad just saying no, but I do feel like a little push helps If you are that lucky then I bow before your mastery of Murphy! Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 Looks like it's allowed, but at a bit of a disadvantage vs people who haven't won yet. Ah, thank you! I'm still not sure what a ten point handicap means, though, exactly, other than the tie loss. D: Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 Ah, thank you! I'm still not sure what a ten point handicap means, though, exactly, other than the tie loss. D: Say you choose 505, Kith chooses 508 and the raffle rolls 500. Kith would win because your 505 is adjusted to 515, 10 points away from the winning number. Make sense? It means people could try to claim numbers near you and rub you for luck, or you may want to wait for the last day to post yours so they aren't too close to anyone elses :3 Minigames. We has them!

Posted June 15, 2015 Just to clarify - we are allowed to enter multiple times before the raffle, right? Some of my dragons are still on cooldown, so once they come off it, I can enter those as well? Share this post Link to post
Posted June 15, 2015 Just to clarify - we are allowed to enter multiple times before the raffle, right? Some of my dragons are still on cooldown, so once they come off it, I can enter those as well? Yes, just so long as they aren't dragons you already entered in the current raffle If you bred some yesterday for the first raffle, you're free to enter them in this one as soon as they come off cooldown. But if you breed some today, please do not breed them again 7 days from now for this same raffle. Share this post Link to post
