If lightning gets dominance again anytime soon (and I can scrounge up the money), I would be happy to help you snag a discounted scroll, Zhuge!

Onward to my slightly frustrated rant: So my lovely wife managed to get me all caught up in a recent Gen One auction this week. I caught a glimpse of this little X/X/Y Caribbean/Caribbean/Beige beach bum girl and just had to have her. Now I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into. I want to breed change her to a coatl, then gene change her to ripple/current/underbelly. I have no idea how I plan to afford this little endeavour. What in the world was I thinking... Sell, dragons! SELL!

Here's what the little lady looks like now and what I hope someday she will look like in the future:

She's gorgeous Sa'avryn! The beige works really well with the Caribbean

and if lightning gets dominance, I will gladly send over the treasure for scrolls so you don't have to worry about saving up yourself This helps me, as it robs me of spending money I really need to keep away from the AH and apparel section of the MP >_<

Dear FR, for the love of all that's holy, please FIX THE DARN FORUM SEARCH FEATURE!!!!!!!!! ARGH. That I'm not able to search the forums annoys the freaking hell out of me. I don't want to scroll through every single page just to hopefully find a post on what I'm after. *sigh*

My two triples won't sell. Ugh. I want two pillager arm wraps and two leg wraps for my matriarch and patriarch, and I need a freckle scroll for my new spiral girl. Ugh. D:

[Freya]

I'm pretty darn sure the ping list I've been on forever and day now, just skipped over me when I was logically first in line for the male color combo that just hatched. WTF!?! I really hope it's not so, but I'm gong to be seriously pissed off it ends up being the case. I was even prepared to offer far more than the guy is asking for as well. It's going to be his loss if I'm skipped. I WILL take my 150kT I ground up specifically for this hatching and look elsewhere for those colors in the future. -_-

Oh thank the light! He accepted. Crisis and table flipping averted.

Why do people insist on using the word 'dergs' ffs the word 'dragon' isn't that long or hard to spell?!

Cause lazy people are lazy. It could also be sort of an affectionate nickname maybe?



I've been known to say dergs on occasion. Guilty as charged XD

Yeah, I sometimes use it too, along with the affectionate hatchling names that tend to annoy people as well

the wait for someone who is on a tottally different timezone than yours to reply and accept the offer you made on one of the dragons...

siiiiiiiiiiigh

last msg i got from the person was at 16:45 game time which is 01:45 am in denmark.. and im sooo sleeping there cause im getting up at 6 am

I see "Dergs" the same way I see things like "teh" and "wat" and all those purposeful misspellings- they're useful! I'd very rarely replace "the" with "teh", for example, but sometimes you want the connotations that come along with a misspelled word- it changes the mood of the word. I don't always want to sound super stiff and serious, after all, so throwing in a few weird words can let people know that you're being silly or joking.

I just really love text and how people have used it to convey emotion, I could ramble for a long time. Long story short, though, "dergs" has connotations of playfulness and eagerness- AKA "look at my dergs"- that "dragons" doesn't have.

[Arthur]

It doesn't even sound like a word referring to 'dragons' - if it weren't FR I'd certainly have no idea wtf people meant by 'dergs'.

In all honestly, it sounds to much like 'drugs' in my head for my comfort.

I'm not saying I want people to stop using it. It's just my opinion.

[Syleye]

yeah the term is to close to dregs for me also it has other meanings...but eh I personally feel shortening their names is insulting to such magnificent beasts and they would probably smack us with a tail for it

[Snowy]

I get why people are using it but unlike 'teh' and 'meh' and other such light-hearted terms, 'dergs' isn't as easy to pick up on the meaning of. I had to Google it wondering wth people were on about. At first I thought it was kinda the same as how people used the word 'studs' on Wajas. And yeah, what other people said, to me 'dergs' sounds a little... rude. o.O

Also sounds a bit like 'derp'. And I take my dragons very seriously thankyouverymuch. >:
