POTM for OCTOBER 2014

[dragonmagic1]

With the new month, comes a new installment of POTM. It works like this:


You find a post you like and you nominate it for Post of the Month. You do this by quoting the post and adding the comment "Post of the Month" or if you think you can't pull it off, simply "POTM". A Mod will move your POTM Reply to this thread. Conversely you can right click on the "Link to Post" at the bottom of each post and Copy Link Location. Then post in this thread with "Post of the Month" (or "POTM" if you think you can), right click in the thread and Paste.
You cannot nominate your own post ... I mean c'mon ... that's just really lame ... no matter how cool/funny/clever/poignant you think you were.
Each post can only be nominated once. The first person to do so gets the nod.
On October 1st (or thereabouts, I mean, we're all working folks here, well most of us) we'll make a Poll with all the nominated threads and everyone here will be invited to vote for their favorite thread. You'll have about a week to vote.
So about the 7th of October we'll have a winner, or more accurately, two, because the original poster AND the person who nominated them wins. What do you win? Gems of course. The mods will pay the winners.


So, to sum up.
- Make good posts.
- Nominate good posts.
- Vote for posts.
- Profit.

Whining didn't work for me. Clearly I'm missing a variable. I am starting a research program to identify the necessary conditions to guarantee successful breeding of a Mirror dragon. To this end, those of you who have bred a Mirror, please provide some detail about your situation when you got your dragon.

Think of this as a murder mystery, any random detail may turn out to be the important clue. For example:

• What did you have for breakfast the day you bred your first Mirror?
• Did you last break a real-world mirror more than 7 years ago, or less?
• Were any sacrificial chickens involved?
• Are you now, or have you ever been, an employee of Backflip Studios?
• Exactly where was your tongue positioned within your mouth when you tapped the breed button?
• Are you gem-swapping friends with both GregDarcy AND wapatango?

As collation and processing of the extensive data we will be collecting for this project is paramount, I will need the services of a research assistant to handle the number crunching and to fetch me coffee. If you are interested in a dreary job with long hours and no compensation, please submit your resume for consideration.

POTM

Also:

• Yoghurt and müsli, bread w/ butter (only butter) and one glass of orange juice.
• Has never happened.
• Absolutely not.
• I am not, and I have never been. I probably never will be.
• Double-twisted, pressing against my lower-left corner teeth.
• Neither. Last time I gifted or recieved a gem to/from:
  GregDarcy: Never
  Wapatango: A month or two perhaps?

Yes it's a glitch. Putting the Rainbow Fountain in storage displays it as a Tree egg. I guess the Rainbow Fountains want to secretly be Tree eggs but can only do so in the privacy of the Storage Tower.

Nobody else seemed to comment on this, but I found it HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laugh

Maybe you attract them? Like, they take one look at you and think, "Mummy".

POTM!

Turns out that Lotus/Nectar+Lotus/Nectar is a good combo for cash and candies, due to the reasonable incubation time. Sadly, it nets several lotuses... I've been sending 8-12 a day to the dragon orphanage. Each time I do, I think of you:

me: Taps Sell Dragon.
Pop up message: "Are you sure you wouldn't rather keep this dragon in your park?"
me: "NO!"
Pop up message: "C'mon, she's kinda cute, and friendly."
me: "Right, until she starts talking. She's a Cactus Dragon in disguise. Just give me my 1.4M DC."

I left my park open for the last 2 hours and I'm still getting double candies. Exploit confirmed

I'll see if I can make it to the next reset in 12 hours as well. Hopefully my Internet doesn't drop.

POTM worthy!

Whew, just created my Ragnarok display egg so I'm all done with this guy.

Now would the rest of you laggards please get off the dime and breed one? The administrative costs of rolling this gem debt forward from year to year is eating me alive!

POTM
The thought of wheeling the accountants in to track DVC pledges. Oh my!

Finally got dark enough outside to light the pumpkin!

POTM! Some people have all the talent.

[wapatango]

This one was hard. No wonder I didn't vote before. Can we vote for more than one?

[lemmyloop]

Congratulations myke, vonfirmath, Greger, and Skitch. I paid out to you winners today

Yep. And I want you to know that I spent gems in both parks this evening. In my dad's old park I got a second berry. In my park, I got an arctic and a hypnotic!? Something does not seem right about that.
