So I'm also doing a larger, more long-term alphabet legacy challenge, but I figured I'd do something else a little simpler on the side. The rules are largely based on [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/1936380/1]Dreamnorn's post[/url], but I wanted to make my own post so I can keep things organized.
[quote="The Rules"]
[LIST=1][*] Go to the AH and find the ugliest triple-gened dragon you can at exalt fodder prices.
[*] Pick a mate for it - which does not have to be ugly after the first round, but it does need to be triple-gened and under 10k, and you cannot foresee progeny or check the color range before purchase. We're going on gut feeling here.
[*] Breed once, pick one of the offspring, exalt the parents, and repeat step two with the next generation.
[*] Continue until you get a dragon you really, [i]really[/i] like - one you want to keep for a good long while, that you want to write lore for, that you'd have to buy for yourself if you saw it on the AH.
[*] Tally up your points![/LIST]
[b]Optional Rules In Effect:[/b]
[LIST][*]Species-lock: Must keep the breed of the line founder throughout. Mates can be a different breed, but you cannot select any offspring that come out the wrong breed. We are going to be doing this challenge once per breed until we've done them all!
[*]Double-ugly first round: The selected mate for the first round must also be ugly. After that, you can choose any dragon as long as it fits all other criteria.
[/LIST][/quote]
[quote="Scoring System"]
+1 for every hatchling that gets two colors that look pleasant together; additional +2 if it's your heir.
+1 for every hatchling that gets two genes that look pleasant together; additional +2 if it's your heir.
+3 for every hatchling that gets three colors that look pleasant together; additional +2 if it's your heir.
+3 for every hatchling that gets three genes that look pleasant together; additional +2 if it's your heir.
Note: All of these can stack. So if your heir has two colors and two genes that look good together, then you add 1+1+2 = 4 points for that one dragon!
+10 for every generation below the 10th where you decide that the challenge is over and you have a permanent, beautiful dragon who was originally bred from your founder!
-5 for every generation past the 10th where you decide that the challenge is over.

...boy I'm really worried about that last rule. Wish me luck!

My starting pair! There's... there's a lot going on here. Both of them are [i]so[/i] close to Lisa-Frank-amazing, but both of them fall so far short of something I'd actually keep. So, promising!

I'm going to take a mirror and a guardian from this pair, and from those heirs carry on with my separate mirror and guardian lines.
