Hey! :)

Oh yeah, I quite forgot about my modesty, haha ;).   My luck has certainly improved since you’ve been frequenting my isle. Ty!   Perhaps you just have that charming effect on all your neighbors … or perhaps it’s just TL giving your nose a tweak. :)

I’ve had no luck with Rose, unlike, um, SOME people. My poor Secret dragon is just shaking with fear wondering what name will be bestowed upon him, haha. But actually I still had a pretty good day, with Dino on the Potter acct and Cheshire on Dragons. I love tigers as well, they’ve been one of my favorite animals since I was a kid. I can kinda see the juvie dragon thing, a lot of the young forms are cuter. It would make it a lot harder to earn coin and play Arena, however.

Congrats on your second Amazon. I’ve given up on it, and there’s no way I’ll spend the gold at 15/arrowhead. I have Pearl on Dragons, but not on Potter, so a second Platinum would be useful.

LOL at angels and roses w thorns … I’ll be careful not to catch the pretty flowers with my teeth.

The political/cultural tangent is interesting. American culture is fairly insular, although the DC area has more diversity than most areas. Still it’s amazing how little most people here know about other cultures. I sometimes think it should be required to spend a year abroad at age 18 or so. If you haven’t experienced it, you simply don’t know what you don’t know. One year certainly won’t teach everything, or even a small amount, but it can at least make you aware that other possible societies really exist. There is certainly political corruption here as well, although I think it is generally more subtle than in many parts of the world. I think all cultures are going to have to better deal with women’s/human rights in the next couple of decades, another offshoot of rapid information flow. I suspect it will inevitably lead to a degree of cultural homogenization and loss of diversity, which is somewhat sad, but one can hope that the best parts of many different cultures will be preserved. It’s clear that economic and technological advances have enriched our existence in many ways, but I am convinced that the frantic pursuit of more and more at the expense of quality human interactions is not the answer.

For Diamond dragons, I tend to believe that there is not much difference in the statistical chances for the various combos. I could be wrong, but I think that the fail dragon incubation times, and the desirability of the fails are the most important factors to consider. The newbie post is funny, imagine the horror of getting a Unicorn fail, haha. I suppose I agree that Fairytale is kinduv ugly, but it leads to Cheshire and Big Bad, that I quite like.

What are you going to try for now that you have Rose?

G’night and Congrats again! xoxo
