And, for your reminiscing pleasure, here are some screen shots of the hilarity.
While you were all scratching your heads wondering what was wrong with the forum yesterday, we A-Team Members were taking screen shots and giggling. Here are some highlights for you to enjoy:
Something weird is going on... "White dragons" horribly appearing in my park once again, but it has gotten worse. I clicked into a dragon profile, feed it a few treats to level 15, then accidentally clicked onto the "treats" in-game purchase section when trying to exit out of the profile. Then, I got this horrifying thing Anyone have any information on this or have experienced the same problem? Is this something.....normal, better yet harmless, or a regular glitch? Or could my game possible have a displaying problem? My game is 100% clean, and have checked out the wiki site for this. Couldn't find any info on it so far.
Oh wow! You got the Super Secret Air Supply Dragon! This dragon is "all out of love" and "so lost without you".

Well done to the winners and honourable mentions! Congratulations to you all....especially the candle hunters!
But....huge thanks to the founders, admins and mods. Amazing job! You have created a beautiful piece of humanity in cyberspace. No small task. Thank you and Aloha .... Or should that be adios?
As the plucky player who couldn't quite reach the podium, I'll once again express my delight with the games!
I had so many laughs, felt such tenderness, and witnessed some pretty serious cleverness unfolding within these woven threads.
I should also mention the gut wrenching heartache of placing 4th as the final flag came down. Humiliation. Looks like I'm still worth betting on for the Diamond win...
Thanks to all these new found forum friends. It's a treat to know you all better, and an honour to play with you.
Question 12 did skaala also mAke it to level 40.. I never got one until after I hit level 40.
It took Skaala very nearly 9 months to get his Rainbow dragon. He bred it June 17, 2012. He reported he had reached Lev 40 in Nov of 2012, so no, he hadn't. The question referred to the time it took him to successfully breed a Rainbow.
Did we mention the decision of the judges was final?

Congrats to the hard-working winners and honorable mentions! Also, big thanks to the DVC Staff for putting all of this together! It was such a fun and exciting (and shall I mention, eye-bleeding) experience for many of the members here. What a wonderful surprise it was, and your time and effort was much appriciated.
