Old Blood Frenzy -- Accepting Wave II Candidates

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 11:13 am

Eeexcellent. I think I have a pairing in mind for him already... >_>

Promise I'll make some good old fashioned regular colours, too. I just can't resist pretty shiny rocks. XD

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:24 pm

I did a quick check (I'm at work >.>)
Savitath and Arianoth are actually 75% Old World, 25% Starlight Hatchery.

Children of Dark Opal Cysscatainth and Cherubith. Their old-world blood goes back to Oceanside (White Quioath), Morning Star (White Veranth), Wu (White Surrith), The Healing Den (Opal White Truth, the mother of the Lian Minis), and Ryslen (Light Bronze Erachenth, Truth's father and one of the first Lights (dating back to Ryslen Weyr's second clutch))

There are quality bloodlines in that 75%.

Is there any chance that I can see that clutch's pickup page? I'm curious to know how Savitath, for example, might breed with a regular Pernese, or with something that doesn't have Pernese blood at all (mostly want to know what his siblings looked like so that I can get a better idea of what kinds of colours to expect from him outside the original five!)

Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst

He can throw any/all of the original 5/6 colors. His bloodline is pretty solidly white and gold/bronze, though the jeweltone/opal has been pretty dominant. Truth > Taveth > Cysscatainth > Savitath.

Oh hey, Cherubith. That'll mean they have one of the very few Aster dragons I sent out for breeding (a green-blue, which was equitable enough to gold in rank as far Aster was concerned) in their bloodline. I guess that'll mean I have even more of a vested interest to write candidates if one or both of those dragons get accepted.

Just as a quick speculation though, would the raw ruby and amethyst be equitable to normal Ryslen red and purple respectively in size? I was mentally equating the raw emerald and sapphire to green and blue size-wise.

Ahh, wonderful! Now I need to figure out how to emulate that gorgeous jeweltone sort of roughness.

Thank you, Ty!

While I'm jigsawing pairings together, I thought I should ask:

In regards to snagging dragons from this event:
How many candidates would you like to write stories for?:
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?:
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?:

(This survey is to help me make a good number of pairings to meet demand. X3 If you only want to send one candidate in, that's fine. I just want to know if people want freebies, and how many they'd be willing to take!)

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: Lots (Maybe 10, considering how long we have, but short stories.)
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?: I refuse to let myself do this.
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?: As many as I can get away with? *smirk*

My name is Delyar and I am a dragon addict. *bow*

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 3:51 pm

NB: Owners of the clutch parents will get freebie slots whether they want them or not. :P As the owner of a dragon who flies or catches, you can choose to keep the freebie slot with a random candidate (a la the Backwards Frenzy), or you can create your own candidate to fill the spot!

Freebies will mostly fall within the green and blue range, with a couple of higher rankers being given away in a lottery style (probably when you send in a request for freebies, pick a number and if you get closest to the one I roll, you get the rare in addition to however many regular freebies you want.)

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 3:55 pm

I'll be finding some to contribute, but naturally most of my Pernese are still in transit

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: probably 3-4
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?: up to 6 or 8 maybe, fewer if need be.
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?: if I wind up with any dragons in the mix, just one per.

X3 I noted that Yakima says in her colour guide that silver is a mutation of blue, but my first guess was that Leireth is the equivalent of gold (due to her wings!) I'm only wondering because I'm playing around with pairings and am wondering if she will take a blue or blue-sized mate, or if she'll only stand for the bronze-and-brown-equivalent crowd!
Weird, I remember reading that black was the rank equivalent of blue, maybe that's new flavor text. The "natural rare" progression should go silver, copper, cream, black, white (don't ask how I remember all that XD), with about equivalent size to rank ratio in most individuals.

Well, unless she was a twin/triplet or was lain by a sport dragon... probably best to confirm with Yakima actually. =)

Looking at some of the old Falas Records, (ie these) I'd be tempted to say gold/bronze equivalent too. Looking at clutch 3 especially, silvers come first, then cream, then black, then white. But yeah, Yakima would be the best one to ask, lol.

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: I'm going to be cautious and say 2... but having just come back I really don't know... I could end up doing 5-6...
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?:A couple perhaps, but I'd probably only send them in if you needed more to fill the clutch... since I will be preferring the more traditional colours... which aren't as much fun to colour, lol.
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?: I don't entirely understand what you mean by free slots, to be honest? I'd probably go with none though, since, I'd probably prefer to write a candidate.

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:23 pm

For free slots, it would be more like a giveaway: You say, "Hey, I want some dragons!" and I give you some low-ranking dragons with some candidates attached. X3 It's for if you want to fill out wings, have a chance at a freebie higher ranker without writing candidates (so chance versus direct competition!) or would like some new blood in your wings via candidates that you might not have come up with, yourself.

Yakima · Post by **Yakima** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:27 pm

Well, if you want her as gold, then you can but she was genetically altered from a green-blue clutch. (I have her down as blue Siyeth and green Lejarth >.<) I also have her as a green-sized dragon.

I don't even remember how I ranked them "back then". Rarity wise, it's silver, copper, cream, black, white. But any size can be any color (using my codes...).

I can find a way to post the database somehow if people want. I have all the sizes for altered dragons as I would see it happeneing. And if someone wants to disagree (because they already have there dragon being a certian size or whatever), I can change it. *shrugs*

{Comes back after a few seconds}
Never mind. I can save the spreedsheet as HTML!

http://www.wolf-mage.com/full_database.html

It's a big file...I might have to divide it or something. >.<

TyGryph · Post by **TyGryph** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:43 pm

Red is roughly brown-sized, Purple is closer to blue-sized than green-sized.

O_O holy crap, check out that spreadsheet!

(And yes, the filler blurbs on each dragon's page are about Palanth and his bitter lifemate. I should change that. I should.)

Since Yakima wrote her down as green-sized in that incredible stylesheet, I'd say she'd go for blue-sized mates. I don't have preferences so you can do whatever you'd like.

She was hatched back in the day when her stats didn't include sizes so I always thought she was probably average sized.

(I'm not sure about her color and genetics and if she can pass them on or not - that would be Yakima's call again.)

If you'd like me to switch her out with a queen-ranked dragon, I can.

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: An ambitious number would be around 10 but realistically probably around 5.
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?: I prefer written characters but since they're so easy to do, probably 2-3...
If I'm giving away free slots, how many would you be interested in snagging?: As many as I can mooch off. ;___; Especially if they're blues. I love blues.

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:49 pm

All that I really need to know is whether they fall into the large category (gold bronze brown) or the smallish category (blue green white/sport). :3 I'll try to keep the pairings from getting too ludicrous!

Oh yes. I was debating between Varioth and Baeroneth and another blue before just choosing one of them randomly.

Saeri (and Dray...): Her genetics are able to be passed on. Her color code would be C2CX T2TX (X being I don't know what her parents DNA are yet...>.< Well, I actully C2C2 T2T1 would be that. (bold indicates what was changed...I just do that so I know that they arn't naturally that way. XD Once I get Lejarth's DNA figured out, she'll have a better code. But I think Dray's just gonna wing it for this. XD

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:15 pm

I'll be giving away full pernese dragons if people want them, too -- they'll just come with candidates attached, like in the Backwards Frenzy.

I'm going to wing it for these guys, yeah. Genetic codes are a mite too complex for this frenzy!

Continuing to sort my dragons, but would you accept a Moire dragon in the mix, Dray? He's one of the "simpler" colorations, I think, at least compared to some I've seen. White web dun ribbon-winged scorched-red... which I guess doesn't sound so simple... let me upload him:

I love this guy so much, he's pretty. =D

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:44 pm

Or as Baeris might have said, "a marked brown variant"

Choosing mine is hard, because I've already used a lot of my own for the Alabaster / Blackstone giveaways. But I will donate, yes I will.

Post by **Dray** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:46 pm

Moireans are fine! XD I'm over my thing with Moire dragons having really long names -- I used to get so incensed about it for some reason. Now... coming up with names for the colours themselves I might suck at. XDD

Comments: The page is a little out of date at the moment, I'll work on updating it when I can... I'm guessing Cata' is about 28 turns now, and Cimoath about 12? And Cimoath is sport sized, smaller then a green, or so Yakima and I figure... she was, we also think believe, a twin though we're not 100% sure on that either... there were alot of multiple babies in her clutch though, so even if she wasn't a twin herself she's probably gunna have the ability to throw them... (edit. And I'd personally prefer it if she was caught by a blue or a more "normal" rare (white/black/etc?) type dragon, rather then a rainbow/neon/etc one... and produced babies of the same sorta colour range... but, if this is a pain, feel free to skip her out)

How many candidates would you like to write stories for?: Well it depends on when you open this up. If school is back in by then, I'd say one or two. If it's before school starts, I'll shoot for more say, 5+. If you're kosher with sending in candidates with pre-written "generic" stories, I'll send more. ^^; Vague enough?
How many stats-based candidates would you like to send in?: 5

Those were from Gallimim's special 2000 4th of July celebration

Aren't they awesome!? There were also some that had 2000 on their wings, but I didn't get those. I think I got a flitter maybe, I can't remember but then I also went through and snagged all the images outright long ago when their owner vanished. I so miss gallimim's fun.

Hey Dray, how do you feel about some pureblood Geperna joining the event?

Post by **Dray** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:45 pm

Geperna would be darned nifty. :3 I just love their naming systems. If you want to, feel free to submit! I'm still shuffling potential pairings (and colouring a few offspring for the ones I'm sure of. XD) I still have room for more options!

eta: Woot, I got the 77,777th post! :D Do I get a prize or something? XDD
