Title: Egg Guessing Contest
Description: =)


Eskerne - February 24, 2011 03:37 AM (GMT)
Welcome to the OoC guessing game of the eggs. The eggs are numbered 1 to 21, and you can guess what colour dragon that there is in each egg. Remember, there is a gold egg.

The quotes accompanying the egg may or may not be relevant to the hatchling inside. However, if we base one dragonet on that quote, all dragonets will be based on their quotes either directly or indirectly. =) It's all or nothing, so you can use that in your guessing.

The second post will be used when the hatching begins. =) To reveal what each egg truly contains. There may or may not be a prize for this. Overall, it's just for fun, and to tease you guys gently about the oncoming hatching.

Don't be afraid to tell me which eggs are your favourite! It'll not only help us work on your dragonet concepts, but it'll also tell us if we're going in the right direction or not.

01 -- Confession | Proudly I stand, staring, waiting... Quivering, fearing that you'll slip away.
02 -- Challenge | When I fell, my defiant screams reached the deities; I wouldn't be defeated.
03 -- Doubt | Softly, the wind whispered in my ear that I would be given a second chance.
04 -- Setting Sun | When I was born, I braved the light, wishing for the sun to never set.
05 -- Shame | I walked on my own, never looking back, hoping I wouldn't have to be brave.
06 -- Truth | I was told to follow tradition, but I wonder: do they see me?
07 -- Possession | 'If you love somebody, set them free," I whispered in the night, knowing that leaving you would tear me apart.
08 -- Solace | I remember you, love, and I know that despite my chains, I'll learn to fly.
09 -- Forgotten | When I die, the deities will no longer whisper my name...
10 -- Today | The truth of tomorrow evades me, and all I remember are the whispers of yesterday.
11 -- Mourn | They told me people were born with one heart, and a choice to which life they would lead; why was I missed?
12 -- Alibi | I was driven by the demons in my mind, knowing that time wouldn't forgive.
13 -- Memory | The waves of the ocean would wash away the pain, but would you remember my love?
14 -- Survive | Time goes by as I watch another day burn, and I know that I can't be a simple witness.
15 -- Support | While you were on your knees, I wanted to be there for you. So I whispered: 'Don't be afraid to be weak; return to your innocence.'
16 -- Despair | I cried as I stretched my wings; I only wanted to fly.
17 -- Lost | Yours was a song that was never sung; mine was a truth I couldn't show.
18 -- Clinging | You wanted to give me a beautiful goodbye, but I couldn't watch you walk away... Stay with me, or cut off my wings so that I may never reach you again.
19 -- Live Again | You told me stories of the days of old, of times I will never see. Let me show you the colours of my soul, and give you hope again.
20 -- Mystery Egg | Name and quote to be decided by the members. =)
21 -- Run | In my mind, everything was so simple. There would be you; there would be me. How did it end with me screaming in the night, clawing at a hope that is fading away...

I know what you silly Admins are up to. I'm so ON to your plan. For, you see....

...you plan to make every single hatchling PINK! > :3!

Besides 14-21, which will all be blues.

If I do well with this I'm gonna be so amused, because this is completely randomized. And I do mean completely. Wonder how many golds there'll be?

1. brown
2. gold
3. brown
4. green
5. green
6. blue
7. green
8. blue
9. brown
10. blue
11. brown
12. blue
13. bronze
14. blue
15. bronze
16. bronze
17. green
18. green
19. bronze
20. blue
21. bronze

Ironically, it didn't give me any golds, so I entered numbers 1-21 in and the one it came up with was the one I put the gold in.

Tally: 1 gold, 5 bronzes, 4 browns, 6 blues, 5 greens

Obviously it's not going to work out that way, but I'm a bad guesser and randomized it for giggles, just to see what happens :)
