2G Vals and EG Checkers

[jocosa]

I'm hoping TJ will lift the limits on previous Vals like he did Holidays. If so I'd like to add to my collection. :)

What I'm looking for:
2G from Alt Val (Hahahahaha I know, I know)
2G 09s  (Biggest Wish)
2G Sweetlings
2G Arsanis

Also I have but am not looking for more of:
2  1 CB Heartseekers.

I can offer all of the above in return, but one of my 09s is tied up in an IOU. Ok, both my 09s are spoken for now.
Or I can offer IOUs for BSA hatchies.


<s>And I'd like to get 2-3 more pretty 5G or lower EG Checkers for my Secret Santa person if possible. She likes lineages with the color red in them, but likes anything pretty as well. If you can help out, that would be awesome! BUT .. I don't need it yet. I'd like to wait until tomorrow at earliest, just in case TJ does drop new eggs at midnight cave time tonight. I doubt he will, but I know if I lock myself, he is guaranteed to drop. *grin* </s>  Got it covered, thanks so much!!! :)

All the 2nd-gens I can breed are Heartseekers and Arsanis, alas. (I'd love a 2nd-gen '09 Val, sigh.)

I can do pretty 3rd-gen (checker with white OR checker with GW) or 4th-gen Sweetlings (checker with White), though! Maybe your giftee would like a non-holiday baby from them to add to his/her checker pile?

I haven't forgotten about the Crimson checker, either; don't worry! The Crimson I need for it has gendered correctly, so as soon as she's grown I'll try to breed her. :D

Oooh, and speaking of Crimsons; if the Valentine limit is altered, I'd love to get my hands on some Heartseekers from Crimson! *crosses fingers for limit change*

[jocosa]

Can I get an 2G Arsani when the time comes, and if he lifts the limit? My free 09 is all yours in Feb. :) If you don't breed your own HS x Crimson to keep, or just want more, let me know on that as well, and I'll do that for you as well.

[krait]

>>Can I get a 2G Arsani

No problem! Do you want the other parent to be something in particular?

>>If you don't breed your own HS x Crimson to keep

I won't, since I've already used mine to breed Crimsons; so I'd love some!

[jocosa]

Ok, so I have you down for a HS x Crimson and an 09 Val. :)

Mate wise, for the Arsani, let me get back to you? I want to look at my scroll, see what might look nice with it.

What about for your 09?

[krait]

Yay; sounds good!

For the Arsani... I dunno! Maybe Daydream? Tan Ridgewing? Sunrise? I'll have to try a couple of experimental crosses, see what looks good. :D

Same for the '09 -- is there anything you think looks good/have seen done elsewhere and liked?


Edit: I made some experimental crosses!

[kshandra]

I've never really gotten into breeding for lineage, but my Heartseekers, my Arsanis, and one of my Sweetlings are all CB; feel free to take a look at my scroll, and if there's anything you'd like me to try to breed, I'm happy to give it a shot.

[jocosa]

A Sweetling would be awesome, if you don't mind! Thanks so much! What can I do for you?

[kshandra]

*looks at your scroll* I would love a metallic, to be quite honest - I've been in the cave on and off since 2008, and apart from the Shimmerscale I just got here, I don't have any.

Do you have a preference for what I breed my Sweetling to?

[jocosa]

I was hoping to do bloodswaps or trade for commons for the common Vals. I'd like to keep my metal IOUs for the chance at a 2G from a alt Val. I know the odds of getting one are low, but, hey ... a girl can dream. :P

[kshandra]

That's TOTALLY reasonable. I've been on a "you can't get if you don't ask" kick lately, so I figured I'd try. ;-) Bloodswap is fine.

[jocosa]

Can't blame ya for trying. *grin*

I'm hoping to get some pretty Arsanis from the AP, since, well, they will all have to be 2Gs this year. :P

[kshandra]

I just looked at your scroll again - we both have pink females named Kunzite! :D I'm going to try my Sweetlings on her now, to see if she likes either of them; assuming it works, shall we plan on that for the bloodswap, or did you have another pairing in mind?

EDIT: Kshandra's Kunzite & Kshandra's Sweet Escape are a valid pairing, so all that's left to do is wait for the breeding window to open! (And see if TJ lifts the limit, that is...)

[jocosa]

UGH, I'm seeing I missed a lot of replies here. I never got notifications and only found them because I was in here double checking who I owed what.

I can definitely do my Pink x Sweetling for you. But do you mind if I pick something else for the one coming my way? You don't happen to have a CB Frill do you? It's odd, I know, but ... :P

[kshandra]

I don't, no. I have this fellow who I'd be happy to try with any of my Val females for you, but my female Frill is fairly sloppy.

[jocosa]

I'm working on a lineage, and I'm not sure if it is to much to ask, but what about a CB Silver? It would be a mate to the one I am bloodswapping with Codyne for. :)

If not, then in order of preference:
CB Blusang
CB Sunsong Amphiptere
CB Red-finned Tidal Dragon

[kshandra]

I have both a CB Sunsong and a CB Tidal to try with my CB Sweetling when the time comes (I don't have any Blusangs at all, and my one Silver is a 3G from krait in this thread).

[jocosa]

Sounds good. Refusals are turned off for holiday breeding so if you could go with the Sunsong, that would be super appreciated! :) Thanks!

[krait]

If the valentine limits are lifted, and you have two CB Heartseekers, I'd be willing to trade a 2nd-gen Metallic for two Heartseekers-from-Crimson!

Between us, Mum & I have 3 (male) CB Silvers and 3 CB Golds (2 F, 1 M) and we can do a wide variety of crosses.

[jocosa]

Did you not want the Crimson x Heartseekers I was going to gift you then? Or just collecting extras? :)

[krait]

Collecting extras! I think I currently have 8-10 Crimsons from Heartseekers, so I'll need lots of mates! ;D

[krait]

Whoops, can't edit because of reply, but I just thought of something else:

I ended up with a spare Silver via an unexpected trade yesterday; it's a 3rd-gen even lineage, but not a checker. (Check it out.) If you don't have a particular breeding project in mind, I'd happily "trade" this Silver to you as an IOU for Heartseekers; I was planning to give it to someone with no Silvers, anyway! I'd rather it go to someone on dragoncavers than a random forum person.

[kshandra]

I don't have any particular breeding project I'm working on, no.

I only have one Crimson female; here's hoping that the breeding period is long enough that I can try her on both males if she refuses one of them.

Thank you!

[krait]

Awesome! And if you need another CB Crimson female, well, there's plenty of time before Valentine's; I could pick one up and influence it for you, if needed. :D

And if TJ doesn't lift the limits, well, I can always use more Crimsons-from-Heartseeker too. *grin*

[krait]

Ack, I ran out of teleports, then last night I forgot to set one up.

One Silver, on its way to you now!

[kshandra]

Got it, popped it into an ER, and it's all nice and hatched now! Thank you!

[codyne]

My 2G Mint and Royal Crimson dragons grew up today, and I bred a 3EG PB Royal Crimson (the Mints gave me no egg), if you would still like it for your Secret Santa person. I can try the Mints again next week. Actually, I might go ahead and breed another 2G Mint so I'll have two pairs to try next week.

As for Vals, I haven't made any plans yet. My Val09s are both 2G, but I have CB pink Sweetlings and Arsanis if you are still looking. I would be interested in lineage swaps for Sweetlings (haven't really decided on mates yet, but I love Sweetlings and would like to do some checkers). The Arsanis I don't have any plans for, you can have 'em if you'd like.

[jocosa]

Yes please to the Crimson. :)

And I will ask around, see if I can trade for a 3GE mint, spare you trying again. I know she wants one, and I've already gifted her 7 things so far.

My Sweetling is paired to a cb silver, but you can pick whatever you'd like off my scroll. If you could mate yours with a cb silver, that would help with a lineage for me, but if not, no worries. :) A lurker would be nifty too. The idea of pastel and dark is kind of appealing as well.

[codyne]

PMing you the link for the crimson. And no problem about the mint -- if you find another one, that's fine, but I had already planned to breed a 6EG PB mint for myself, so I'm going ahead with it anyway.

Actually, Sweetling x Silver sounds very pretty! I'd be happy to breed you one. Do you want to do a swap, or were you planning to keep yours?

[jocosa]

If you need some 2g mints, poke at me. I have some cb ones cause I had a lineage idea, then got lazy.

Nope, not keeping, bloodswaping with you. :)

[codyne]

Okay, great! A Sweetling x Silver checker sounds awesome. I'll start working on a Silver mate.

As for the Mints, thanks for the offer, but I want to do it all on my own scroll. I've already got all the CBs I need -- all 32 of them. :) They're easy enough to get! I'd gotten as far as collecting the CBs and breeding a couple of 2nd gens -- both male -- and then I got distracted. So this is inspiring me to go back to work on it.

[krait]

You mentioned an interest in Sweetling checkers, so I thought I'd pipe up: one of my Sweetlings produces very pretty 3rd-gen checker offspring!

[jocosa]

Wow, that's gorgeous! And a reminder I need to actually start thinking on what to do with mine once the Val madness is over. :)

[codyne]

Pretty! I thought I remembered that I have a 3G White from Sweetling x White checker, but when I went to check it, I saw that it was male. So I can't use it. I suppose when I picked it up from the AP, I figured I'd never be able to get any more Sweetlings anyway so it didn't matter how it gendered. Oh well! Have to start fresh!
