@Sylv

I don't know if you ever look at the TL forum but I have been keeping up with a debate here and only mention this now because one of the people said they actually sent a PM to a TL member (Jake) about the Pink rule. Below is the post and at the bottom is what this person said the responce was. Just wanted you to know seems like you got the rule correct. I thought it was funny in the thread people were bringing up the calculator too. :)

''"Your looking at the element in the wrong way. It's a single element with a chance to split. It does not start out as 2 elements. When putting dragons in the breeding den to even qualify for diamond you must first have a minimum of four elements. Only having 3 element disqualifies you from diamond contention. Then the elements that will be pulled for breeding are pulled and then bred. If you were to breed fire/light/water in a breeding before any element is combined it must be pulled first. If fire is not pulled in this breeding combo you can't breed a magic or a pink you. So if your breeding island/virtue the way the algorithm is setup is to first check the number of elements in the breeding. After checking the number of elements in the breeding it then decides the number of elements it will pull for the breeding. If it pulls all 4 you breed a diamond. 3 or 2 it will then read elements and go from there. Using a pink hybrid would not increase your chances at diamond because of the splitting. Once 4 elements are used you qualify, if it is then decided not to use all 4 thats it.''

''I'm not stating my opinion this is fact. I have already spoken to jake about this and it is confirmed. Using a single pink element with a hybrid will not yield a diamond because there is only a total of 3 elements. Everything else i have wrote after that is all speculation on how i think the algorithm works."''
