Flight Rising Discussion

[size=5][color=red][b]Due to scheduling conflicts this project has been separated from the Secret Santa Advent Calendar. We will now hold a second raffle: "13 Days of Christmas". Please see below for the new schedule.[/b][/color=red][/size=5] [center][size=6]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/size=6][/center] [center][size=6][b]Hello and welcome everybody to[/b][/size=6] [size=6][color=red][b]Team Nickelklaus,[/b][/color=red][/size=6] [size=5]where you can [b]earn early tickets[/b] for the [color=red][b]2017 Secret Santa Advent Calendar Raffle[/b][/color=red] by helping to prepare[/size=5] [size=6][color=green][b]Flight Rep Dragons[/b][/color=green][/size=6] [size=5]for that raffle.

But they were just that, occasional and accidental. I would receive a dragon donation where the eyes matched the colours of the dragon and spontaneously decide it might make a good Flight Rep. In the debrief survey many people indicated they would like to see more Flight Rep dragons in the daily raffles, so here's my attempt to provide just that ;-) I have this idea that it would be really, really, REALLY cool if we could have 5 or so Flight Reps in the daily dragon raffles every day. And on special occasions even an entire set. And perhaps another full set as prize pack (or a pick 3 thing, because 11 dragons is a lot to dump on somebody as a prize) for the raffle proper. So, perhaps 150 Flight Reps in all? Obviously, I cannot do this alone. This is where you come in. [center][size=4][b]I would like you to find good Flight Rep candidates, [color=red]co-ordinate here with me[/color=red] and hold them for the raffle until December.[/b][/size=4] (And by "find" I mean breed them yourself or buy them on the AH or otherwise acquire them.)[/center] [list] [*]These dragons must have the [b]correct eyes/element,[/b] obviously. [*]These dragons must be [b]fully gened.[/b] (See [u][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2096990/1#post_25101297]this post[/url][/u] on why we don't accept G1s.) [*]They must be kept [b]unbred.[/b] [*]They must have a [b]hatchday that lies within the respective festival week[/b]. (Ideally the very first day, but that's flexible) [*]If their [b]breed matched their element,[/b] that would be a bonus. (But perhaps that's just my personal preference, please discuss below!) [*]If they were [b]levelled by December,[/b] that would be another bonus. [*]And if they had [b]art and/or lore by December,[/b] that would be a super awesome bonus. [/list] The problem is, this fancy idea is all I have so far. I would have liked to get this thread started sooner, but (surprisingly and also sadly) my life does not consist solely of pixel dragons. So, this is what I could manage and we'll have to take it from here. I would like your input on how to organize this, how to fairly award early tickets for your efforts, how to bring together players with different talents and skills (so that one player can level while another does art for the same dragon) and somewhat urgently, now that the Ice festival is almost upon us, [b]how to ensure we end up with about the same number of Flight Reps for each of the 11 flights.[/b] I'll reserve 13 panels below, one for each element and another two just in case. Discuss! Thanks.

Once a full set of reps has been chosen, this set will be posted further back in the thread and linked here for easier access. The front post "XXX Reps Central" will be updated every month to show the currently in progress set.

We discussed G1s at the beginning. They are hit and miss and also a rather niche market. Not all players appreciate the G1-ness in the face of triple basic. We only award 50 tickets per dragon here, per dragon chosen to be a rep or holiday dragon, NOT per dragon posted here. And they MUST be triple gened. So you'd never get your "investment" back in terms of tickets if you gened a G1 for this project.

Something will appear here soonish.

Something will appear here soonish.

• Basic Dragon Value: 50 tickets.
  2x25 were two people co-operate
  3x17 in case we have a three-ways co-operation
  
  
• Dorming per Dragon per Month: 10 tickets.
  We count full calendar months and begin the month after the respective festival.
  Ice Reps get tickets for February and onwards, etc.
  We'll figure out something for December as the year progresses.
  Levelling the A-Subsets to 15 should only take a couple of days and can be neglected in terms of dorming tickets.
  Levelling the Deluxe Reps is likely a team effort over several weeks. Again, no dorming tickets for the respective dormer while that dragon is being trained. Compensation for feeding their trainee is already included in the tickets for levelling service.
  
  
• Festival Items: We no longer accept festival items for tickets.
  We have a very large pool, most of which will be liquidated to buy other stuff that's still needed.
  
  
• Battle Stone Donations: Please check the Levelling Hub.
  
  
• Levelling per level: Please check the Levelling Hub.
  
  
• Art per tier and complexity: Please check the Art Hub.
  
  
• Lore per length: Please check the Lore Hub.

[center][size=5][b][u]Levelling and Battle Stones[/u][/b][/size=5][/center] Since we don't know when the Coli revamp will take place or how exactly it will effect current dragon builds, we will leave ALL levelled dragons unstatted, unticntured, and unstoned - with one exception: dragons levelled to 17 or 25 will get ONE Ambush, to eat up the first-turn-bug. This "dumb" levelling will take significantly longer than if we gave the trainees stats and stones so that they could start helping after lv. 17. That's why the multipliers for the higher levels have been raised from the original proposal.

This allows for a clean handover should any one leveller grow bored or frustrated with their task. Examples: Raising one dragon from 1 to 10 nets 45 tickets (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9). Raising one dragon from 10 to 17 nets 169 tickets (15+17+18+20+21+38+40). Raising one dragon all the way to 25 nets 736 tickets (the entire column added up). [b]A reminder of which dragons receive how much levelling:[/b] Subset A: Level 17, ONE Ambush. Subset D (Subspecies): Level 10, no stones. Deluxe Reps: Level 25, ONE Ambush. Holiday Dragons: Level 17, ONE Ambush. Deity Dragons: Level 17, ONE Ambush. [b][size=4][color=red]Tickets for Battle Stones are on hold, because we're waiting for the Coli revamp to happen. Please don't donate any yet, we really have no idea how to price them fairly without knowledge of their continued or altered usefulness.
