Alright ladies and gentlemen,

We appreciate that so many people came forward to volunteer to wait for their Wyrms, you guys are awesome.
As we expected, the remaining number of people was simply too high to get all of them finished.
Four handlers pre-arranged to pick up their Wyrms at Anthrocon, and those /WILL/ be done for the convention.

These handlers are:
ShadraAvro
YearofDragon
Kai-Nimura
Tyrrlin

Everyone else will be completed after the convention.
A lot of progress has been made recently, but we just need more time. We bit off a bit more than we could chew with this season, but they /WILL/ get done.

Right now, we're in full-on con-prep mode. We're a little over a week and a half out from Anthrocon, and it's all cards and bodies, and Wyrmheads everywhere.

----

Another note regarding winter babies. In reviewing some of the Wyrms, we did notice that there is some back and forth between old and new styles. If there's someone who has a major issue with the new styles, please let me know as soon as you can. HMS has asked me to reach out and let people know about this. However, keep in mind that no matter what your baby /looks/ like from this season, the traits they will throw will be the new styled ones for their future offspring. Older styles are being phased out.

----

Obviously, due to the fact that we're behind, the Summer Breeding Season will be moved back. We have not determined a date as of yet, but we're looking at the end of July right now, so we have more time to take care of the breeding season babies. HMS has expressed that she does not want to take new orders for babies while the Winter ones are still in the queue. We promise at least a week's notice prior to the breeding season so that you have time to line up your breedings.

In addition, due to the fact that we overshot this past season, we will probably be cutting down the number of slots for the next season. There will probably be some limits of Wyrms per person, and definitely limits on the more complex Wyrms (Standards and above). We haven't decided exactly what these will be, but if you have more than 5 breedings in mind, you may want to start prioritizing the ones you think are most important to you. We want to make sure everyone gets an opportunity for new babies, but we also want to make sure we don't have breeding seasons that stretch this long again.

I agree that it really got out of hand. I would probably limit how many breedings any handler can do each season.
It would give more people a chance to have one breeding at least.

See you at AC!

I think a round-robin type selection could be fair, with people prioritizing their breedings. If/when everyone got one, then go on to the second round (etc) until HM runs out of slots. Just my $0.02.

The only prob would be clutchmates. While say my Auryn x Amun Ra is my top choice, it may not be years.

The other complication there is the breeding projects people have started up. Doing it in this fashion might leave some of the stables in the lurch.

I'd prefer not to do round-robin.
It would make the paperwork even more of a pain than it is.
However, setting some limits should give more people a chance.

Sure thing! I was just talking off the top of my head.
