I went through my scroll and picked out 6-7 female dragons I could sacrifice if I wanted to try for a female Zombie this year. A few extras in case one of them dodges, so I can just go on to the next one. We'll see!
This is my deadline: Silver Fox Grave, a Silver Tinsel x Silver checker with Shadow Walker bases. I made it before TJ changed it so that dead dragons retain their lineages behind the tombstones, so the tombstones are unclickable. I think it turned out really pretty, but I'm not really into deadlines, so I just wanted to try it that once.
As for my Neglected, my notes say that the egg was an AP grab with approximately 11 hours left and stats of 32/14/15. It was added to 8 ERs and 3 refreshers at 1 minute 45 seconds left, and hatched with stats of 1117/113/17. Back when I was experimenting, there were a lot more ERs and they were less stuffed with AP eggs, so eggs could get more views in a short period of time.
In order to figure out when to ER, I took a couple of low-time eggs and timed them, stuffing them into all the ERs I could find and watching to see how long it took them to hatch. A 15-minute egg took around two minutes to hatch. So I ERed one at two minutes, and it hatched normally. I kept reducing the time until I got one to turn, which was around 1 minute 45 seconds. At that point, it was iffy whether they'd get enough views to hatch. You want them right on the edge of survival. Too few views, and they'll just run out of time and die. Too many, and they'll hatch without turning. But it's always a juggling act, because each egg is different, and you can never control the exact amount of views they get.
Maybe I'll start experimenting again (after Halloween, of course). I haven't had much to do on Dragon Cave lately, so it would be something else to play with.
