According to my account settings, this will be my 600th post! What better post to use that round number on than....

This is the true heir: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/55777821][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/557779/55777821.png[/img][/url] This is the consort I finally found after literal years of being too full in the lair and too busy/stressed in real life to make progress: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/85204417][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/852045/85204417.png[/img][/url] They gave me a three-egg nest, which I was finally able to hatch today after expanding my lair last week! And the final heir of the Plague legacy is.... (drumroll please) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/91113710][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/911138/91113710_350.png[/img][/url] ...pink [emoji=guardian deadpan size=2] OK, so it could be worse; it's just a Watermelon tertiary. and looking at her adult scry I can tell she's actually going to look really suitably plague-ish. I'm somewhat disappointed she didn't manage to either retain her dad's red tert or go all the way to her mom's white-range, but I knew it was a risk when I chose Malaise to be the consort. Her name is Demic because, in consideration of the element of this legacy and the biggest contributing reason to how long it took to hatch her, I [i]really[/i] wanted to name her Pandemic, but apparently that's on the forbidden names list. [emoji=aberration sad size=2] (Edit: OK, so forbidden names include any reference to a real-world tragedy, apparently because that's considered "glorifying" the tragedy. So at least I know why. It still feels like too general a term to forbid, when we have a whole flight named Plague, but I'm not the dev so I don't get to make the rules. Moving on...) The heiress has an awesome brother and an "at least the heir wasn't THIS one" brother: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/91113711][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/911138/91113711.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/91113712][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/911138/91113712.png[/img][/url] That one with smirch is a seriously sinister-looking plague baby, IMO. Of course, he might be glaring at me because I failed to find a plague lair to hatch his clutch in, but that's what happens when a project gets interrupted by an [i]actual plague[/i], hatchling! I also seem to be a full 3 years overdue to actually post the final heir for Shadow (how did that even happen?) so expect that in another day or two! I still have Shadow Legacy dragons in my for-sale lair tab, though so I honestly haven't gotten that legacy's final score. Maybe by the end of the week? Here's hopeing. I have

Incidentally, while I'm nowhere close to the limit for pings, I figured I might as well do this: [center][pinglist=14387][/center] As a reason to click the above, have a preview of things to come: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/24352069][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/243521/24352069_350.png[/img][/url]

Ohhhhhhhhh my, I thought you were inactive!! I'm so glad you came back <3 "at least the heir wasn't THIS one" I CACKLED Congratulations on finishing the Plague legacy! [emoji=plague rune size=1]

@ShenziSwan
LOL I've been, shall we say, minimally active for quite a while, so I can understand it. I have a fairly big lair, and I haven't been active enough to keep them fed, so most of the time it looks like I'm absent if you go by that. I have been keeping up with daily trading post activities though, and getting my monthly festival familiar; and you've been getting "shared research" from me at Arlo's Artifacts every single day since the new dig site was released (because I only have three Arlo friends and you happen to be one of them)!

So it was you!!! Who was sending me research hahahaha, thank you very much! I'll be sending you mine from here on out then! [emoji=heart size=1]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/jwVdK9l.png[/img] [b]Plague Legacy: Score![/b] @Leapoardmask @Justdevon @Aluna @Aishea @GhostQueen13 @Shadowfire1223 @ShenziSwan @SilverInky @frostedflaky @darkstormyheart At long last, I have the final scores for the long-delayed Plague Legacy! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/24352223][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/243523/24352223_350.png[/img][/url] It's been a long time coming, but with the completion of the branch breeding attempt and the sale of the final dragon, I can now announce my score as [b]690[/b]. It's quite a jump! Part of that is my success in selling dragons for higher prices than some earlier legacies. I can't say this is my favorite legacy heir, but then, Plague aesthetics were never really my thing. Still, we're done and ready to move on after all this time, and that's something to celebrate in and of itself!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/aIsERHx.png[/img] [b]Shadow Legacy: Score![/b] @Leapoardmask @Justdevon @Aluna @Aishea @GhostQueen13 @Shadowfire1223 @ShenziSwan @SilverInky The shadow legacy is also finally done! It might have been done for a while, but I'm remembering to make the actual final post. [emoji=nocturne deadpan size=1] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/24359079][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/243591/24359079_350.png[/img][/url] It's seriously hard to believe I've been working on these legacies for this long. The shadow heir is nearly four years old! The total legacy score was [b]621[/b], which again reflects the fact that I got better at selling the heirs, spares, and consorts during the Shadow/Plague era.

Sooo... what is the status of the Eleven Legacies project after all this delay? Well on the one hand, I'm currently playing in a sort of low-effort maintenance mode, and I need to expand my lair if I'm going to get very far. On the other hand... [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/50185237][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/501853/50185237_350.png[/img][/url] Kokiri has been waiting a long time, and her time is fast approaching. I...have to make legacy banners again. Man, how long has it been since I did that? With the passage of time, I have more options for goal. I can aim for something like this: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/scrying/predict?breed=16&gender=1&age=1&bodygene=5&body=44&winggene=113&wings=28&tertgene=23&tert=151&element=4&eyetype=12][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=44&bodygene=5&breed=16&element=4&eyetype=12&gender=1&tert=151&tertgene=23&winggene=113&wings=28&auth=2fb4da83ad8dcebb6263a72777abeb9bec872462&dummyext=prev.png[/img][/url] Scoring is based on rarity of genes, breeds, etc. so that hasn't actually changed much. I'm halfway done, and I'm still here, so I'm not about to stop now! I actually have several more founders waiting in my HibDen.

It might take a while, but we'll see what comes! [center][pinglist=14387][/center]
