LAST CALL FOR GIDDLE
20 Hrs/16 Hrs
20 Hrs/16 Hrs
BREEDING COMBO: Plant + Earth + Light
FLETCH's SUGGESTED CLONING COMBO: GIDDLE + SAND
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
The LAST CALL competition is a race to be the last person to breed the next rare or epic dragon. The "winner" (the last person without said dragon) receives at least a gem from all the participants; a meager reward for the pain of being last.
Long Story Short ...
1. Join the competition.
2. Constantly breed for epic/rare dragon in at least 1 cave when it is released.
3. Breed said dragon, and lose the competition. Then send a gem to the winner. Or
3. Win the competition by having all your competitors breed said dragon first, and receive a gem from all your competitors.
Long Story Long ...
Rules:
- Participation is reserved for members of this DragonVale Community. I need to be able to PM the participants during, and after, the competition, and I can only PM members.
- All participants agree to pledge at least one gem into the competition pot, to go to the winner. Participants are welcome to pledge more than one gem to any number of other players.
- All participants promise to constantly use at least 1 of the 3 breeding sites in their main park for the competition. You can breed in the Rift Breeding Cave to try for the dragon, but you must also be breeding in a cave in your main park. If a participant has only 1 breeding site, it must be used constantly for the competition. If you don't already have the required parents when the combination is announced, it is acceptable to use your breeding site to breed them.
- To register for the contest, you must post in this thread, include your current park level AND your Friend ID. You must send a friend invite to me.
- If you make a mistake at some point and put the wrong dragons to breed, it is your responsibility to buy out your mistake, because you must always be trying for the sought dragon in at least one site.
- If you get caught by someone not breeding in at least one site and you get reported, you get DQd.
- Post as soon as you are sure you have bred the dragon.
- Post when you have paid out your debt.
- Have fun
- Be honest
- Koala
Mechanics:
Before the Comp Starts
- Announce your participation by replying to this thread. Please include your Friend ID and current park level, without which I won't add you to the competition. Please include any other pledges that you want to make, beyond paying the winner.
- Send a Friend Invite to me, Fletch#4399. I will accept your invite and visit your park, after which I will add your name to the list below.
- Please modify your inbox preferences so that you are notified by email when you receive a forum PM. I use PMs to get in touch with participants. If I can't get a hold of you by PM, I will resort to emailing your personal account.
When the Comp Starts
- Someone on the staff will close down registration and declare the competition started when a qualifying dragon is released and minimum level requirement has been determined. If no one from the staff has declared the competition started, then it hasn't started yet. (It's important that this competition be triggered only by the correct type of dragon.) - In the unlikely event that someone does not meet the minimum level requirement once registration has been closed, they will be removed from the contest.
- Reply to this thread when you have successfully bred the sought dragon.
During the Comp
- This competition is self-policed; though I will be checking in on the players, from time to time. We do encourage befriending the other competitors during the comp. You will need to friend the winner at least, to send them a gem after the end of the comp.- If another, shiny, limited dragons comes out and you want to focus on breeding it, you can withdraw from this competition. But you are still expected to pay your pledge of gems when the competition ends.
- We've been asked more than once if buying an egg pedestal disqualifies a participant from the competition. The answer is, it depends
This competition is all about breeding. So technically, buying the egg pedestal does not disqualify you. However, what concerns us is that everyone gets the same fair chance to win/lose this competition. Therefore, if you want to buy an egg pedestal, make a post in this competition thread so that everyone knows that the egg on display in your park was purchased (and not bred). If you do not announce your egg purchase, and a mod or a participant reports an egg pedestal on display in your island, we will have no choice but to assume that you bred the dragon, and we will move you over to the loser list.- You cannot buy and hatch the dragon and remain in the competition.
- Stuff happens: RL, exams, family stuff, vacations, internet outtages, broken iPod/Pad/Phones, whatever. When stuff happens, and you can't keep up with this competition, the right thing to do is let us know so we can withdraw you. Who knows, maybe some folks will feel inspired to send you sympathy gems. But it's better than getting DQd and possibly causing others frustration.
The Comp Ends
- when we confirm the winner of the comp has the dragon, they decline to continue to breed for it, or the dragon has left the market.
- when we confirm the winner of the comp has the dragon, they decline to continue to breed for it, or the dragon has left the market.
- Pixie and Twin awards may be offered till we have a winner OR until the comp has ended.
After the Comp
- If you make pledges beyond just paying the winner, it is good to keep on top of them as the comp continues.
- Please pay what you owe promptly.
Pledges
NOTE: Due to the nature of some of the pledges for prior contests, it is okay to sign-up for this contest even if you have not paid your pledge for a previous contest. Please keep in mind that you must 1) have made a crazy pledge that takes some time to pay off, and be 2) actively paying off said pledge.To simplify the pledge recording, the following shorthand styles may be used:
Boring —> one gem to the winner
First & Last —> one gem to the winner and one gem to the first competitor to breed the dragon
GT —> gem + treats
Ninja —> 2 gems to a person who breeds a second whilst the first is still breeding
Darcy (I nominate ??) —> one to each player still in after the nominated person gets theirs
wapatango (I nominate ??) —> Darcy pledge repeated for each subsequent person, after the nominated person gets theirsLemmy (I nominate ??) —> A reverse Darcy. 1 gem to each person already a loser when the nominated person gets theirs
Buffy (I nominate ??) —> 1 gem to the winner. One gem to the loser immediately after the nominated person
Reverse Buffy (I nominate ??) —> 1 gem to the winner. One gem to the loser immediately before the nominated person
Pixie (Day of the Week) —> 1 gem to whoever breeds the dragon on the chosen day
Middle —> 1 gem to the middle person/s to breed the dragon
Twins —> 1 gem to the person who breeds a twin. 1 gem to the person who receives a twin.
Prime —> 1 gem to each person who's order number is a prime number (2,3,5,7,11,13,17, etc)
RULILIND -> 1 gem to each person who breeds their first dragon during the last 24 hours it is available.
