saving it here, in case staff decides to delete it for hurting their lil feefees :((((( and then ban me for being a real mean meaner and hurting their feefees :(((((((((((((((
All of the gene "bugs" that staff just comes down to say "WEHH WEHH ITS A CHOICE ACTUALLY THAT ON THIS BREED IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT" would feel so less whiny and "ackshually" if they just RAN POLLS.
Imagine. Between site news and the random dragon widget on front page, a little poll
"Do you think [GENE] on [BREED] should be changed
[Click here to see the gene in the scrying workshop]"
Maybe it has a vote button, where it links to a post explaining why people think it should be changed
Maybe its just a yes/no or maybe its more nuanced like "yes because its inconsistent" "yes because its not pretty"
and then it lasts for a few days, maybe 5/7 to make sure a lot of people see it and vote
and boom. Staff has a nice idea of what their players want, and if "no dont change it" is the majority then players like me, that submit really inconsistent genes to bug forums, feel more like the community agreed its ok, rather than THE MOD ON THEIR HIGH THRONE OF POWER HAS DENIED YOUR REQUEST.
the thread on copying someone's dragon is so wild to me. how is it rude to make a dragon like someone else's in a customization game. esp if it's a super popular color combo and overall style. it's dragon pngs guys c'mon, just be glad someone was glad enough to emulate your creativity rather than be a snob about it. have a little fun
not quite gremlins but a fun thing that happened to me recently :)
On leap day this year I hatch a G1 with funky colors.
Smth like 2 days ago, people are talking about color rarities in a server I'm in, so I look up this guy.
And I find. A perfect color twin. G1. ON SALE.
So now I have two :)
There are 4 dragons on the entire site with those colors, two of them are exalted, two of them are in my lair :')
and since their primaries are both mantis, they're named after mantis types/genomes: Callimantis and Tenodera
Also since i think its funny they're def gonna be the bug catchers/farmers of my lair
Got some bad health news just now. Could use some dragon therapy
Show me your professional gremlins, trash goblins, and stinky bastards?
(I'm coming down from an anxiety attack so I may not respond to them but know that I see and appreciate all of them)
