It looks like we need a new nominee: I vote for peanutzmom:). She seems like a perfect candidate. Let's help her get her island. I'll be sending her a friend request.
Here's her post:
Hi! I'm new here, and I've been lurking for a few days, reading the tons of great information posted in this forum. I've finally caught onto the concept of breeding for a specific outcome, and not just throwing two dragons together, and I've become very familiar with the Sandbox!
OK, two newbie questions.... First, right now I just have the basic breeding cave. Should I invest my gems (once I FINALLY collect enough) to upgrade the breeding cave, or to buy an EBI? Second, I'm really hoping to breed an Emerald Dragon if the gemstone dragons continue this year, particularly because my birthday is in May! I saw in the sandbox that I'll need a Lichen and a Crystal in order to do that. I've got my Lichen, but I've tried twice now for a Crystal, first with Obsidian + Storm (Firefly result), then with Earth + Storm (Quake result). Is there a more sure fire way to get a Crystal? I'm only a Level 15, and most of my dragons are common earth, plant, fire, or lightning hybrids right now.
Thanks so much, and I can't wait to get to know all of you better!
IN THE WAKE OF THE TRADEDY IN BOSTON THIS WEEK, MAY I SUGGEST THAT WE PUT THE WORD "Gift" AWAY FOR A WHILE. LET'S ALL MAYBE USE "SPARKLEY GEM" OR ANOTHER TERM TO DESCRIBE OUR GENEROUS GIFTS.
THANK YOU COMMUNITY!

As you can see, we have substituted "Gift" fo that other word. Thank you for pointing that out.

Hello Jacqui, Forum,
We have spilled much ink discussing what we should do about this issue.
Our consensus, going forward, is that destructive words, or words with a destructive or violent connotation should not be used as label for forum-endorsed initiatives. In other words, if we had to do it over again, we agreed that we should have used a more positive name for this awesome thing we do in this thread, even if no harm was meant.
Going forward, please continue to support this great initiative, which we are going to call a "gem shower".
Just as before, we will continue to edit nominations with a graphic to help the nomination stand out. Thanks to Pixie for animating this great GIF, which we will use from now on:
Now that that is settled, we are going to remove the word "b.o.m.b" from the list of censored words.
Comments? Questions? Send us a PM.
In the meantime, let the gem showering begin... err continue!

WOW! Thank you all so much! I will definitely pay it forward!!
GCID- peanutzmom:) And yes, you need to include the smiley face
I give gems randomly to those who seem to need them because I'm not organized enough to keep a list, but I'm always looking for more Party Hat friends!

Thank you Myke for your above post.
It is sad that it takes and tragedy like Boston for us all to wake up and realize that we need a life and grammar check once in while. Thank you and the Community for supporting this issue.

You're welcome. It was a group effort. I'll pass along your TYs to the rest of the staff, each of whom had a couple of pennies worth of thoughts to contribute to the discussion.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of my gem gifters! Not only am I overwhelmed with your generosity as my gem count grows, but I love visiting all of your islands and seeing your dragons, how you lay things out, how you decorate, etc. You guys have some amazing parks!

Gem sent. Got confused because I also have a peanutmom on my list!
Thank you for the update peanutzmom:)! It's great to hear your progress.
I tend to distribute my spare gems to those who look like they need them so please don't feel you have to return if you get one from me!
My GN won't let me in regularly so please don't send me gizmonauts crystals. I can't use or return them!
