OK, feels like I need to address :twisted: some concerns regarding the new random name generator system for egg slots.
When the same people keep getting wyrms from every stream, and those with internet issues keep getting left out in the cold, it officially becomes an issue to me. My intent was that NO ONE gets screwed simply because they don't have super fast internet, or aren't sitting in front of the computer button mashing refresh. I can totally appreciate being excited, its super flattering to have folks that excited about this game. But I decided to do homecon instead of trying a new convention because I wanted those who normally don't get a chance to choose their own wyrms at conventions to have that chance. I do not want to see arguing, general nastiness, or poor sportsmanship. I've seen that enough in other adoptable games and I have absolutely no desire to encourage that sort of mindset here. Having differences of opinion is totally fine, its even healthy when talked out politely and calmly. But when things get heated or tempers flare, step away and take a few minutes to relax and realize that life is way too short to stress over the little things.

I love our community. Its filled with incredible, good hearted, kind people who help and support each other. THAT is the kind of game I want to run, not something that is super competetive and cutthroat. Remember, these are your fellow handlers. Be good to each other. Otherwise, the Karma Ferret will poop in your shoes.

MAH SHOES! D8

I think you guys are doing as good as you can. It was mentioned at the start that home-con was going to have some testing grounds and trying new things to work out a system that will make as many folks happy as they can. I imagine con/events can be tough because there is such a community but then sometimes there suddenly is that feeling of "oh man. I really want this thing." and then it feels like all the folks next to you are your competition. So it's rough cause they're your friends, but they're also the possible person between you and something you'd like. Which is probably why a lot of other adoptable games get some nasty scenarios.

I think the random thing is nice. If anything it has made signing up a lot less of a stressful procedure. And if I dont get a spot, I can at least not beat myself up for not being fast or good enough. XD

Well that, and you can pee without fear. ;3

Nobody should have to risk permanent bladder damage for cute fluffy things.

Or ulcers. I feared them yesterday. And even though I didn't get a slot in the last stream, I had a lot of fun watching new handlers get their first. And a rare at that! YOu guys do a lot for us. <3

I just wanted to say I really appreciate everything that staff has done to make sure this could be as fair as possible. As a person who lives on the other side of the country, it means so much to me that I can even get a shot at wyrms. I find the random generated list very fair, and much less stressful.

Just want to continue to thank you all, and I will do my best to spread the good will and happiness with my fellow handlers. ^___^

I agree 100% with Melo. Currently living in CA, it has been near impossible for me to get to any of the Cons that CDF is at. I really appreciate the chance to be part of this.
