OMG, I won something!

[ragdoll]

I just got an email saying I won something in the holiday raffle -- there was a link to a web page which told me I got a bronze tinsel. Probably my least favourite of all the prize dragons (much fonder of the shimmers, but it's a CB prize dragon!! *grins*). Custom codes are definitely still on offer -- just hoping/praying my response went through because once I clicked on the 'confirm' button, I got redirected to the Holiday gift page. Other winners are saying the same thing, so hopefully this means we all get our babies.

No big surprise that I'm already being PMed over on the Forum. I've never done this kind of breeding/trading before, so if anyone has any advice, I'll be happy to take it. I'll also be happy to trade with people here ASAP. Other than a CB gold female and a CB green copper female (for my mom), I don't even know what I want!

Congratulations! :D

Most important would probably not to over-commit to trades requests. :p I did that and then had to hand over my account to a friend to help me continue breeding regularly to fulfil trade promises because I got busy; until now I don't know if I still owe eggs to anyone. >_>;

CB metals are fairly valuable to accept in trade, because even 2G metals will be of relatively high trade value to most people. You could ask for holiday offspring, though the specific window period of breeding may be tricky.

I believe ZzelaBusya seems to possess some magical ability to catch CB metals, and is always looking for 2G Prize offspring. You could contact them, if CB metals and other low-gen prize dragons are what you're looking to collect!

Right now, I've made no promises to anyone. The people that PMed me were thanked, and I said I'd see once I got the egg, and figured out what I wanted to do. Right now, I haven't even got my baby, and probably want to play a bit to see how easy it is to breed him/her etc. I usually keep the first egg from a pairing for myself anyway.

I kept all those PMs and have a vague list of 'will get back to them when I'm ready to deal with that'. Luckily it's all of four people at the moment. I'm so sorry you were so overwhelmed! :(

Thanks for the rec -- I will contact her if/when I get some progeny to trade for. It must be nice to have that magical ability -- I lost my knack for that (which was never good) years ago!

Prize dragons Do Not Breed Well, especially early on when the new winners are all trying to breed them. :( That's the most stressful part of promising trades.

Yeah, that totally makes sense. I'm just going to be zen about it, and pray I don't have a totally sterile dragon! With my luck, that's what will happen!
