How Do Hatchings Work?
Hatchings happen in two steps:
STEP ONE
When Hatching approaches, the goldrider will issue an email requesting the following information to all Candidate persona writers:
E-mail:
Name of Persona:
Impress or Not Impress:
Elided name of persona (IF MALE ONLY):
Hetero/Bi/Homosexual:
Preferred Dragon Color:
Dragon Name:
Remember, you are allowed to decide whether or not your candidate will Impress. In most cases your candidate will Impress their preferred color, the exception mostly being bronze and gold.
NOTE: There are no color specific candidates (ie. You cannot ask that your persona only Impress one color or nothing). If you have indicated that you wish your persona to Impress, they will be assigned a dragon.
STEP TWO
You will not be told before hand what color your candidate will Impress. There will be a control post for the Hatching. This will be written by the goldrider and brown/bronze sire's writers (on some occasions they chose to include the candidate writers as well). In this post the candidates who Impress and the color of the dragon will be revealed to the whole club at the same time.
Please do not ask them before hand what color you will Impress. Also, until this post goes out, no posts of your candidate's Impressing should be sent to the list. It spoils all the fun!
NOTE: Remember, this is a game that is supposed to be fun for everyone, and as in any game you win some and you lose some. If your candidate did not Impress the color you wanted this time around, please do not get angry or demand answers of the council and/or the goldrider/sire. That is unsportsman-like conduct that will not be tolerated.
