Zikul First of all, this is a late response, but your re-gening inspired me to see if we could get some more Harlequin Stogwens - I'm looking forward to see if PrideRising has any luck in passing on his genes.
@The Stogwen Project (Updates Pinglist)
Now here's where I had an adventure....
I'm literally writing this out because I'm dramatic and also would like you all to know I need to learn to control my impulses better.
I noticed Cosmos was ready to breed, and one of the fodder dragons I'd been sent *** part of me using my big ol' hib den to store fodder for the next nature push was a Coatl girl with Harlequin. I figured the stars had aligned in my favour so I popped her on a nest with Cosmos.
Two eggs. Hmm. Ok. Thing is though, I was supposed to use that nest for something else. Maaaaybe, just maybe I could boon the nest and we'd all be good.
So I did. Of course that meant Cosmos decided his kids were both going to have Starmap. I should have known, since no matter who I pair him with, Cosmos seems to delight in producing the opposite of what I want.
Grumpy, I checked my lair and found another gem-gene Stogwen ready to breed. Cardamom - she's got wasp. I go select a not super expensive RTB harlequin man from the auction house, pop them on a nest.
Naturally, they wegg (give me one egg) me.
Now it's early morning and my week has not been going to plan. I look at my gems. I end up back on the gem marketplace buying another boon.
Hatch the nest.
Hatchling's got wasp.
I guess I'm locked in at this point. I've got two RTB Coatls left with a gem gene primary. I look at Nutmeg - Cardamom's sister. Now they're both Cosmos' grandkids, and I've noticed this side of the family line is just into letting me down this morning. That, and Nutmeg has only ever had nests with Bootes. I guess I'm not going to make her do adultery because I don't trust her to give me the kid I want.
The only other gem-gene primary Stogwen I've got is sat in my fodder section of my Stogwen hibernal den tab waiting to get exalted for Greenskeepers. I get her out, grab another mate. On the nest they go. Another two egg nest.
Then I realise my mistake. This Stogwen is also closely related to Cosmos.
I'm gonna boon the nest. I figure this project is likely doomed, I don't wanna wait for this and I'm gonna just....get rid of the nest, pretend none of this happened and just get back on schedule and nest the pair that was supposed to nest.
Out pop two kiddos with Harlequin:
Well ok then. Thanks.
Thing is though, now I've got no gems.
Though looking at it, three boons is still cheaper than buying Harlequin as a gene.
Moral of the story folks, I'm an idiot and I spent all my money on this stinky baby:
At least she's cute. After I spent my treasure changing her secondary and tertiary genes.
But yeah, don't spend all your money trying to get something nice because you think it'll fix your big sad energy early in the morning because your dragons won't cooperate.
Cosmos has been moved to time-out in the hibernal den because his babies are ugly.
