LAST CALL FOR RAGNAROK

[Skitch]

Agggh! You know how you go to tap something and just as your finger is about to hit the screen you realize you're making an error but it's too late to stop? Kairos was ready to fire, so I finished my breedings, tapped all habitats to collect gems and coins, including those that hadn't filled enough to display a collection icon, planted pumpermelons ('cause who wants to waste 5 hours growing 1 hour beanstalks?), and went to activate Kairos. And just as my finger was treacherously committing my action I realized I hadn't started new breedings. Two Bicentennial retries wasted. Hate it when that happens...

Don't be upset.
This happened t me too.
Actually I think it happened to a lot of us

Try to see it positive : after that break of six hours your dragons now are refreshed.
Perhaps that's just what they needed to be successful...

Try 109 and I was excited about my long timer until I realized it was about 7 hours too long... 38h24m here.

It got to be hard, since you have been down this stressful long breeding spell before. Keep up the positive attitude, slight humor, and pound at it...you will breed one. GL

Last year, around this time you and I were preparing our BeB's list, remember that? And a year later we are here, missing none but one.

Thanks! I do remember that, and the stress of trying for a Panlong. I did get the one... wondering if I'll dare try for a second this year.

I'm not stressed about the Ragnarok breeding attempts, especially since I'm in the last call. It helps to feel like I'm not alone! It also helps that Bicentennial only took 7 tries and I got a Berry after 25. Then my first try for Lodestone was Cactus and the next was a Lodestone! All the same, it'll be nice when we're both back to flaming dragonariums. Thanks for the encouragement.

Last year our BeB's list was much longer than this year, and the "I want to have all the dragon" pressure compiled onto one big stress.

I will definitely try and hope to successfully breed a second Panlong, no stress, no pressure this time around.

Thank you,
It's a picture of the Stoker Class of dragons and belongs to the movie how to train your dragon 2
Which I finally managed to see yesterday
Great movie !

I am still using leathery & miasma trying for a second and that last bicentennial I need. I can now add soly to my list of fails for this time around, and after an obsidian break, I joined the oly club again with a snowy. This combo really is dreadful. I hope I get the bicentennial soon so I can use a different one.

[myke]

I am all paid up!

[elehcim]

Thanks, myke - everyone else who has sent non-boring or last-few-people gems already.

I had a "short" fail - 8h48m Cave - and just hit retry. 38h24m. SIGH!

That's not serious disgust; there isn't a time limit on this one, so I'm just seeing what happens next.

Maybe it's time to switch again. I'm using Leathery & Miasma right now.

[wapatango]

After sending a snow bro to the nursery, my next breed was a 28 hour oly? Seriously, this combo is horrendous, but since I need some of both dragons, I will stick with it for now. I hope the oly club dissolves itself soon.

[Greger]

This is reminding me of the Autumn comp... I'd rather not get reminded about that.

[wapatango]

Well, I may not be in the competition anymore, but I am still in the oly club. 4 out of the last 5 attempts have been some type of oly. When I sent a soly to the nursery and hit retry, I got another snowy. I would much prefer to get a 16 gem time. This one was 10 gems too long.

[ceme]

I'm out.

Unbelievable, didn't think it was ever going to happen.

With Reindeer coming out today and the comp park being the one that didn't get Reindeer last year, I decided to go for Ragnarok and reindeer in both spots. Both opened up at the same time. I had been using ruin + lava for quite a while, switched the cave from that to carnival + ruin. For the island I used Arctic + Gourd -> 1st try is Ragnarok!

So, for my Darcy -> ceme pledge I owe the two remaining contestants Greger and elehcim. friend request sent to Davellania.

[ceme]

Gem sent to MicheleGameC.

[wapatango]

Congrats ceme! I am so glad that you have one now too. I hope that our remaining two contestants will both get 1 before BEB starts, whenever that is.

[elehcim]

Congratulations, ceme!

Yesterday morning when my most recent Sun was moved to the nursery, I was so happy to see a 2h24m fail. My next fail was 6h24m. It's sad when that is exciting, but I've bred two Suns and one Autumn in the last seven days.

I'm thankful that I'm at 202/203 dragons, so I'm not anxious about BeB. I would like seconds of a few dragons, though, so I'm hoping that a Ragnorak comes soon. What about you, davellan? Here's wishing for some koala for both of us.

[Skitch]

Congratulations, ceme! Sent second runner-up gem. At this rate we may finish this competition before... well, before Ragnarok!

If you like I can send a gem on your behalf.

[ElektronX]

I'm going to try to pay the two competitors tonight, just as long as my social menu doesn't bail out on me before I get the chance to

Yes, sorry. I noticed the first one, clicked accept. Wouldn't surprise me if it didn't go through. GameCenter has been behaving very wierdly for me lately. I cannot send or accept friend requests. I have gotten an iOS update today that is currently downloading. I hope it fixes the proplem.
