(Tuesday 21) after-Sunday 26

Google Forms - include tiebreaker questions on every form. Species (in most cases), gender, egg # (an invalid # will switch to the highest valid #. Example, choose 5 on a nest with 2 eggs will count as 2)

Thread - ask that I get one post on the main page after Prizes where I list the hatchlings AND parent pairs I’m willing to part with (such as Aether butterflies). I would enjoy keeping it organized. Or just trust Ackie there too. :)

Prize system - dragons separate - just an idea, but what if…
- Hatchlings/dragons are a separate category from items/services
- Instead of drawing like raffle which takes time, just list everyone in order of # of tickets.
- Instead of listing # of choices in 1-10 which would easily get to 1-35 from the number of people who include QOTD, just tell everyone to list their dragons in order that they would wish. Most people would stop at 3 that they actually like.
- Make this the QOTD Saturday as a Google Form that MUST be filled for hatchling prize but EITHER FORM OR THREAD counts for QOTD credit.

Make Pearl Cerdae the last nest that hatches on Sunday after being featured on Saturday.

Tell people during Saturday ping how many 1-match badges they have earned, and how many are left that they did not earn yet. Tell them how many entries on Saturday would guarantee the a) regular set b) bonus set.

- - - idea for announcement phrase “Because players cared about badge progress even more than prize pots last event, badge progress will be MUCH more clear and visible. Not only in Google Sheets view as soon as we log a nest hatched, but also announced in FR on Saturday. We’ll say # earned, # unearned, and the -least- # entries that would guarantee each tier. The pair which has 100% odds is on the last day for a reason, and don’t forget 2-for-1 entries on Pair of the Day!”

Badges - Perscitia offered generously that a 2nd tier would be okay. The first event had ONE tier of 1-5 eggs and 2 hatchlings (7). I am thinking this round can be (but 14).

(Half-body tier - complex) STRETCH GOAL AND TOTALLY NOT NECESSARY but if possible have a dragon half-body with a tipped over egg hiding its back half. Can be the same lineart for all of them rather than the features of a different species in each one, but recolor for each hatchling type? (bumpy frog pattern, beige skink Cerdae pattern, etc) Or have to invest time into one lineart for each breed but it gets easier over time as each lineart gets reused each event?

(Headshot tier - medium) hatchling head coming out of an egg, can be the same lineart for all of them rather than features of a different species in each one, but recolor for each hatchling type? (orange butterfly pattern, dark bumpy frog pattern, beige skink Cerdae pattern, etc).

(Egg tier - simple) backup suggestion if 14 hatchling badges is too much - egg badges, it doesn’t matter if they’re 1 egg each or a mix of 1-5 eggs each. It’s probably easier if they are 1 lineart. But I wonder if the badge can be recolored for each hatchling (orange butterfly pattern, dark bumpy frog pattern, beige skink Cerdae pattern, etc).
