I switched from my level 17 pair to Lava 15 & Rain 13 this morning. The decided to show that they too could produce another SE. I just spent more of the lovely gifted gems on hurrying the SE along to the nursery… and now Panlong attempt #143 has at least resulted in a shorter fail time (8 hours). Another Bone egg will hatch soon and after that I will just have to speed that 8 hour along and try again.
I've been watching some TED talks with my kids & other homeschoolers. One by Tom Chatfield is about the ways games reward the brain. Really interesting stuff. I highly recommend it. One thing, though, is that game goals should be neither too easy NOR too frustrating. Getting the right level of uncertainty is important. He talks about how some games increase your odds after a certain number of failed attempts. DV doesn't seem to be one of those. ;( This Panlong hunt, alas, has been almost too frustrating to continue. Collaborating with others is another topic he brings up - and how people motivate each other. Your encouraging words (and the gifted gems, but more the empathy) have helped me keep going. Thanks!!
Oh oh oh, LOOK! I pushed the 8 hour of the the ebi with some of your splashing gems and then checked the time of the new lava and rain 17&17 pairing:
Well. Sniff. I can't post the picture - an error says that my 156k pic can't be uploaded because this forum has exceeded its limit. Anyway... You guessed, I'm sure. 1:04:47:57!!!
Thank you again for all the support and the gems! May you all have extra koala for the rest of BeB and beyond!

Hooray, I am so glad! Now, if only your dragons will produce a second before the weekend ends. Congratulations. I already sent one gem before seeing this message. I'll keep sending until BeB ends in hopes that you can obtain a second.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Now that elehchim's got her Panlong, I'd like to nominate Cobus (GCID: evattr) for the next gem shower. I realize it would be but a tiny token in this cold winter, much less to honor his service to country, but a balmy gem shower would warm things up in the Vale at least, and all aloha is good Aloha.

I think this is a terrific idea. I'm heading to my account to drop a gem now.

Once again, thank you for the shower. I really appreciate all the words of support - as well as the new GC friend connections and gems from nine of you. I'll be visiting for party hats and to wish you all koala in future endeavors!
Main GCID: GregDarcy Secondary: GregDarcyToo All gems friends spoken for. Happy to accept friends for party hats. I blame Apple's auto incorrect for all my typos. I actively discourage challenges. All challengers are unfriended.
I have been continuing to shower daily. (Quite clean really ) But is this shower still continuing? It was for a mistletoe and they are no longer available.

You know the saying "Great minds think alike..."?
