LAST CALL FOR LOVESICK 18 hours / 14 hours, 24 minutes
BREEDING COMBO: Sweetheart + Cuddlewing
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.
- 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.

We will make an announcement about Last Call in the upcoming days, once staff have finalised the details.
It looks like MinyaZ will be hosting Last Call, at least for the first limited release. So members don’t have to worry about running the competition.
Friend ID: adlerist#5274
Due to a potential limit on the number of friends a player can have before issues arise in the game, I will only be able to add Forum members. Thank you, for your understanding, and please consider joining us!
We would like to inform you about the future of the Last Call competition. Last Call will be hosted by MinyaZ, and OboeKade will also be hosting the contest once or twice per event. Fortunately, MinyaZ and OboeKade were already prepared to do this. We were planning on having them oversee a couple competitions starting with this event.
Both MinyaZ and OboeKade have participated in Last Call and understand the rules and pledges. In addition, samiam will be overseeing some of the Rate a Dragon threads. This will allow moderators to have more experience with the various functions of the Forum.
We want to be sure players are still interested in Last Call. If anyone thinks they will no longer participate, please reply on this thread. Unless a significant number of members decide they will not play, members can anticipate the competition will continue.
Thank you everybody for your understanding and support!

I think we should dedicate the Last Call to Fletch_smf due to his long-time affiliation with it.

I’m not sure what you mean by 'dedicate' Last Call to Fletch. We can’t change the name of the competition, new players won’t understand. We want to keep the contest open and welcoming to all.
Fletch revived Last Call when he returned to the Forum a couple years ago, after a three year hiatus from DV. He didn’t create Last Call.

Ah, I see.

I have updated the table on the first post with everyone's pledges. Would you all mind checking that they are correct please? 😊
If everyone agrees, I thought I would leave Fletch's pledge there for this contest. For paying out winners/loser, this is only going to affect the players that that are paying the middle winner/loser.
Rysaroni I have assumed that you will be playing two parks as usual?
NinjaKiwi. would you mind clarifying odds/evens for me please? Do you choose at the start of a Last Call that you will pay either odds or evens or do you pay everyone (because everyone is either odd or even?)
I am unable to come on at reset to officially close the contest. Everyone knows that the contest is for the limited dragon that will be released on Thursday, so registration will close at reset when the dragon is released. 🐉
My pledge should be a first, last, evens and pixie (Tuesday). Fletch was not on at reset either (something about the middle of the night, 3 am or such) so no worries. He did sometimes let people come running in late for the competition if they forgot to signup, especially with the release being changed to Thursday.

Thanks lisgie I have changed your pledge to pixie (Tuesday). I copied your pledge with the detail that was showing under the table - I have updated this as well. 😊
