Yeah, that is even scarier than what I am doing. Good luck! Make sure you have enough Purples for fertility at all times. Less likely to refuse outright, but still the possibility of no eggs/no interest.

Oooh, good call! Thank you! I always forget about fertility, but luckily it looks like past me did an OK job at collecting purples.

A New Challenger Enters!

Scroll Link (optional): scroll
Forum Name: zippuzzle
Today's Date: May 4th

Starter Dragon (link and name if named) : not yet

Challenge Group Link (required): Group link

Goal (Plan for your lineage): Wisteria stairs ^^ I've had an idea to do one for a while, but never really made progress.

I haven't managed to spot what I was looking for yet, dunno if it was just bad timing on my part, but I bought my Wisteria starter just so I could stop searching ^^; I added it to my group, and the mate I plan to use for it as well, but it's hidden for now to keep it from getting accidentally viewed too much. I'm excited to get started, and to see everyone's projects!

Edit - cool I found one just now, thanks RNG 😂

Starter Dragon (link and name if named) : https://dragcave.net/lineage/W2f41 (a fresh hellfire, it's hidden right now)

Challenge Group Link (required): https://dragcave.net/group/235069

Goal (Plan for your lineage): A spiral of Hellhorses, with the base pair producing one then from that point they'll be mated with Arcanae. Of course it may be a challenge getting them to cooperate; I'm not looking to win, just curious how far I could get with it.

[Gwathgor]

Welp, I hoped to try and hunt my starter, but ended up not having much time today and just buying from the market. Anyways I'm excited to be starting this challenge ^^ It's not my first lineage project (I have a checker thingy I'm lowkey working on), but the first public like that.

That's about right. You look all day, see none, buy one and then there it is!

And yay for new players! Welcome! I have added you to the list.

Challenge Group Link (required): 100-Day Challenge 2023

Goal (Plan for your lineage): I think I'm going to go with a basic purebred Magi stairstep. 

I almost forgot this started today! 🙃 I managed to catch my starter; it will grow up late since I caught it late. I'm sticking with my original concept.
 

Good luck, everyone!

what i did this morning when i got my starter egg from the market, i went right to the biomes (because it was 10:50), and refreshed both Alpine and Desert, and there was no Nebula. so yay!

i haven't been looking for Nebs or Antareans today though.  i have enough for a few gens in my group.  

[missy_]

Oh noooo, I forgot that I have an egg on my scroll that I want to earthquake! I've been waiting to work on this lineage for a long time and I completely forgot that it requires an earthquake. Now I'm not sure what to do.

 

ETA: Never mind, I'll just ask someone via the help thread to hold my egg while I earthquake!

Ask someone to hold your challenge egg while you EQ. I would offer but I am scroll locked unless the person I bred a Blusang for hurries and picks it up!

I can help you, if you still need help!

[missy_]

Thanks, purplehaze, and Lagie! I will ask for help, once my newly caught egg is off cooldown.  
 

(I just caught it, so it's going to be awhile.)

Just got my starter and updated my post.

Good luck, everyone! 💚

[missy_]

Just making sure that all the newcomers know that your starter dragon can be (and usually is) a dragon that has been on your scroll for awhile. You only have to catch one new egg, and that is generally not your starter. But it can be; it's OK for your starter to be a brand new dragon as well.  Generally, you start with one established dragon on your scroll, which is your starter dragon, and one new egg.

like everyone else, i updated my first post with Krttika, my Neb starter

[Ytak]

It might be too late but I'm signing up if it is still fine.

It's fine.

[missy_]

I am posting here and in the random connections thread. 
 

Is anyone around to hold my egg for a few minutes? I just need to do Earthquake.

ETA: Thank you, @NightEagle!

 

ETA2: The earthquake was a success. Yay!

Welcome @Nierta! Not too late at all.

 

In past years (for the 20-week challenge,) I have posted standings weekly.

100 days does not come out to an even number of weeks.

So...how best to record standings?

Should I post updates every 10 days instead? But I fear that will be hard to keep track of and I will forget.

Should I post updates once a week, starting from Day 1? That will leave several days from the last weekly update until the end of the Challenge.

Should I post weekly updates, but post the first one after Day 9, which will line up the last update with the end of the Challenge?

Or is there a better solution? Or am I totally overthinking this?

[BringsTheSnow]

Once a week still sounds good to me (I don't think it matters too much which day the first weekly post is on).

 

Don't overthink it too much.

I think you're overthinking a little bit, I'm not sure it's such a big deal if it doesn't line up perfect! I wouldn't wanna go through and check everything all at once at the end, or forever be trying to remember when the next 'ten day' check-in was. Honestly, I'd just say do whatever is easier for you, you're already hosting the event for all of us and that's work in the first place. If weekly is the easiest for you to remember, that seems fine to me. It's all supposed to be for fun anyways ❤️

[missy_]

I agree to just do whatever is easiest for you. Thank you for hosting this event; I'm okay with whatever you decide.
