Holly breeding

[codyne]

I plan to breed my CB Holly this afternoon around 5 PM my time (PST, or UTC-8) (8 PM Cave Time). I am breeding him with a CB White and will keep one egg, but if anyone wants to haunt the AP to try for any siblings that abandon, that would be the time to be there! I will update this post with an exact time before I actually breed.

ETA: Time of breeding: 5:15 PM (in about 10 minutes).

ETA2: He bred three eggs, so I got to make two other people very happy!

I caught some more messies which I tossed back. Oh well, there should be even more Hollies around next year...

(It is interesting to hear how everything worked years ago! Makes me also happy that TJ changed a few things!)

I've been catching some decent ones... it's tempting to try to keep them all, but I figured I already had caught enough nice ones and I won't keep any more unless they're better than the ones I already have.

I was so glad when Teleport was introduced! Back in those days I had horrible internet -- all I could get where I live was satellite, which is very laggy, and it made catching anything rare impossible. My only golds and silvers were generous gifts, and it was always very scary to do the transfer and risk losing the egg on the AP, which happened more than once. Not only was there the risk of losing rare eggs in trade, you had to be online at the same time as your trading partner and use some kind of chat or IRC to coordinate the transfer. Made trading between different time zones very difficult. I remember occasionally staying up until 2 AM to transfer to somebody in another country. And also eggs hatching/hatchies growing up while you tried in vain to meet up with somebody.

We got Teleport just in time for me to receive my first Tinsel -- I was really glad about that!
