During the past two weeks I manged to get my "O" (has there been a poll about the name yet ?)
Yes, well, um... there was a... a top secret poll! And Oreo was the clear victor! [Editor's Note: He forgot to do the poll...]
It's listed under Oreo is the "offical" lexicon entry. I saw several people use it and thought it had a particular, as the French say, I don't know what. So I just sort of went with it.
But I listed several of the other common ones, plus shoemom's OoobieWoobie (since I found it ammusing
If there is still interest a poll,I could do it now and just edit the lexicon later...?
Yay! Second Peridot is brewing in my cave, instead of rebreeding straight away, I fed one dragon up a level, renamed the other and bingo. I'm also raising the Crystal fails and rebreeding them back to the Cactus parent. It's such a good feeling to have more time for breeding my missing dragons. Going for Seasonal until Blue Moon hopefully re-appears. Thanks to the rare/gem breeding strategy, I have more time at the end of the months. Just wish I could thank the author properly.

Yeah, it's a somewhat similar design, sure. But it's not an actual pallet swap.
LYD is a pallet swap. Blue Moon and the Opposite dragons are pallet swaps with some minor edits
Forest is a completly unique drawing wtih totally new animations.
I happen to like the look, myself.
Hopefully this is the calm before the storm. I was contemplating quitting this fudge when they claimed to be releasing an "all new type of Dragon" and they farted out Spring Dragon. I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I'm still holding out hope for two new elements some time soon.
Light and Darkness get my vote!
But I admit the golden hybrids make me think it's either not going to happen or is a LONG way off. If they do one new golden every two weeks or so they wouldn't run out of combos until 2015.
Personally I'm not holding on to all my epics. I figure it gives me something to do if they come up with an epic shrine. Breed epics while I wait for other dragons to breed.
Thanks BS for the info on best colluseum dragons. I've now sorted out 3 dragons plus Current that I shall crown first.
Yay! Go me!
Yay! Go you!
On the plus side, there are a lot of combos wil allow you to try for Pepper and Forest at the same time.
Heeheehee! ;D
I've decided to chase a Seasonal dragon next, the highest earning epic I've not yet got. It has Pepper as a fail, and I'm going for a Peridot egg, which has Forest as a fail. It's all good atm.
And what's a pallet swap?

Thanks for the giggle this morning. I am in IT vendor Hades right now and needed something to laugh about! Glad I could amuse! And w00t! Something I said is in the DVC Lexicon.
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all/Gloom, despair, and agony on me... {HeeHaw, 1970s - totally showing my age)

The Leap Year Dragon is a pallet swap of the Rainbow Dragon.
Ah, I understand now. There are several sets of them. I quite like the variations. Most new dragons lately released have been unique, and I wonder if the changes in style relate to different creators within BFS?

One more day left to cast your vote for POTM for July. Don't let your chance slip by. And it is the ninth of the month and NOBODY has thought there was a post worthy of a POTM?! What's up? I have seen some funny and witty posts as well as posts that have helped folks with their game. Remember the poster and the nominator win gems and maybe crystals from the A-team. For all you new folks don't be intimidated, just quote the post and say POTM. Some mod will come along and move it to the right spot.
I just realised that my hibernation cave is now full as well - have to decide what to sell off now.
This is what I have:
- 2 of each dragon (excluding a few gemstones which I'll have shortly) - 3 of some epics (either for the goal, or by accident, and given the long breeding time, I was inclined to keep them in case they make epic shrines) - 3 of a few limiteds (bred for the goals - a process I no longer do as the payoff is not worth the time. I will sell off these, although I think there are only 2 or 3 in my cave) - ~28 Gold olys (bred when these were the best money makers) - ~29 Panlongs (mostly still out for earning cash) - ~50 solstices - ~25 blue moons
I'm trying to decide what to sell off. The few triples that I have are the obvious start, but I doubt that is more than about 5. I could start selling off the triple epics, but I just can't bring myself to do it given how long they took to breed.
So really, all that leaves is the Gold Olys. I have loads of them, so could slowly sell them off as need be. I'd still have quite a few to contribute to the epic shrine, if and when they implement them.
I could also sell of doubles for very easy to breed dragons (e.g. flower, poison, cactus etc) and also doubles for the base dragons (plant, lightning etc). Although I think I have already done this for quite a few of them...
What I would give to breed but 1 Gold Oly!!!! I've been trying since they first came out and still no luck. 😥

So, can someone clarify this for me? I've been putting low earning dragons in the collosseum to minimise the DC loss. So, should I be putting in the highest earners instead? My brain hurts trying to work it out.
Simple and by the numbers: you want to use high level dragons with the correct element and with the highest DC/min value possible.
I can get into more detail if you need further explaination.
And does anyone know how I can find out which dragons go in which habitats with which boosts to maximise DC while having all dragons on display?
This is an incredibly complex question with no one true answer.
I can tell you what I do or what I might recommend, but the value of any setup varries depending on your playstyle and what dragons you have in your park...
POTM
Looking around and enjoying life!

My final shrine just turned silver! YAY! Now the not-so-fun part, trying to get them to gold. Wow, it is super expensive to feed a dragon up to gold!!
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!
Then you'll be thrilled when you decide to get a couple up to 20 heh. I'm up to lvl 17 on my second. I chose century dragon as he seems olden and wise and the flower as she was one of the original beauties.
I had been doing Quicksilver+Rust and Water+Quicksilver per the sandbox to try to get Platinum. The sandbox only lists Rust as a failure, which I had received over a dozen times. After runs for Peridot, Pepper and Forest I returned to my quest for Platinum. Today I received two 14h24m failures which would seem to be Quicksilver. I looked at the Races menu to verify I really did have the correct dragons as unavailable. Is the sandbox wrong, did something change or am I just going crazy and did something wrong (twice!)?

Quicksilver + Water should only produce rust or platinum.
However, given how the golden hybrids seem to work, I wonder if it's possible the rules for uncommon hybrids have changed with the last update... it would need to be tested with some of the other pairs. Iron + Metal should only ever produce Iron, so if it creates a Scoria we know what's up

PS Is "the sandbox" in the lexicon?
Will test this when I get home.
Brass + Metal gave me Forge first try. They've changed the rules. As BS said, probably to do with the new hybrids
