#47 - And now for something completely different (Part 2: Electric Boogaloo)

[anonrisingcocomod]

This is a Star Trek anon comm now. Make it so, nonnies.

Just kidding! Since the attitude in the comm has chilled out a little, I'd like to try another post without a Wanker Thread to see how it goes. The Wanker Thread is still present on the comm, but hidden to you (for now) and will be brought back if any big drama occurs that people feel should be contained. You can still make complaints about things that annoy you on Flight Rising, but let's try and keep the vitriol at a minimum. 

Oh, and welcome to The 47 Society, AnonRising!

So some stuff went down that kind of made me back away from the site and scared to play again. It's been a couple months since then and I'd like to try to get back into the site.

But due to being scared and away for a bit, I feel like I've lost interest. What are some things I could do to change things up? I've tried role playing and lore, but couldn't get into it.

I would do a mass auction to get some cash t spoil my dragons with, but the no spendtember thing might make that harder to do.

If you don't mind taking in less profits, try selling things cheaper enough that others will buy to resell. A lot of the No Spendtember levels allow purchase to resell. Or just try anyway; the amount of players doing the challenge is small, and I think many of them cheat anyway.

It's a damn shame Crackle is so universally loathed. I love it with oranges and reds, but I won't even bother breeding because the kids just don't sell even if they're rare-breed doubles or triples and I hate exalting those.

I grant you in some color combos Crackle is god-awful. But so is Circuit.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel your pain. I have some beautiful crackle dragons that I never breed because nobody would want the babies.

im contemplating moving but i cant decide what flight i want to go to

i'm currently in ice and i give fuck all about dom, i just want to go for the lore and i have no idea where to go? nowhere seems to fit :(

what aesthetic appeals to you the most?

all the colors of the rainbow -> water, wind, fire, nature
pastels -> light, ice
murky and muted colors -> earth, plague, nature
dark and bright color contrasts -> water, fire, light, lightning, arcane, shadow

What is your result?


Water

19% Extraversion, 53% Agreeableness and 33% Conscientiousness!

"The water dragons of the Sea of a Thousand Currents are oracles. They prefer to be as fluid as the waves and currents of the oceans. Of all the dragons, water dragons are the most mysterious, predicting the many futures that may come to pass, but revealing nothing of what they divine to outsiders. Shells and magic orbs are their favored treasures."

You are a quiet and solitary person. Most of the time, you would prefer to be alone with a good book than hanging out, and you don't think much of parties. You find dealing with strangers and big crowds of people to be stressful, and you need to recharge afterwards by spending time with yourself.

You don't like to talk too much about yourself or your thoughts, especially to strangers. There are many details of your life that even your friends don't know about. You don't enjoy talking about other people either, and you can seem disinterested when people talk about their lives. However, you're not uncaring, and you're definitely willing to lend a sympathetic ear when a close friend needs your help, and your friends often appreciate your support because of your ability to bring deep insights to their situation.

You like to keep your possibilities open and not commit to specifics. You prefer to have your intuition guide your choices instead of making decisions ahead of time. You can be easily distracted thinking about all the potential opportunities you could pursue, and much of your time is spent thinking about imaginary worlds or daydreaming of places far way.

Similar scores: Nature (more Extaverted), Arcane (less Agreeable), Light (more Conscientious)

After nearly three years of having my oldest dragon being stuck as obs/black/soil and not being able to do anything with her tert, I bit the bullet and scattered her, and now

I weep, because now she is stunning.



I almost did contour, but I wasn't sure how I felt about how it cut across her thigh.



Thoughts?

[(Anonymous)]

i love spines on her! she's beautiful!

ugh i feel like buying art with my ugly ks items i dont even like this ugly shit tbh

is this worth it? i know senya was selling but its not my style. i'm really into detailed anime/cute stuff but i don't know of many artists that offer this style :/

[(Anonymous)]

You can try the forums, post a thread with the subject "[h] KS items [w] cute anime art" or something. See what artists pop up. Or maybe ask on tumblr, tons of artists there.

So I just got annoyed by trying to make something and Baldwin being all "You haven't got enough Red Ooze" so I decided to go see wtf I do have so much of because I'm constantly boiling shit.

Turns out I have the least Oozes in general, with 9 Purple being the highest. Well, fair enough, I just need to boil some of those, I thought.

Then I looked at some of the other figures.

I have 23 Orange Goo. Next most is 9 Purple Goo.

I have 25 Purple Sludge, 23 Orange Sludge, 16 Red Sludge, 13 Yellow Sludge, 4 Blue Sludge, and 1 Green. One.

Slimes are fine. Slimes are balanced about right, especially since I just did a massive boil of my more useless Apparel items.

But the 31 Silver Mucks seem excessive.

What the hell am I supposed to do with these? Do they sell? Is there anything good for making that doesn't rely on stuff I'm low on (Green anything, any Goo, and of course the aforementioned Red Ooze)?

[(Anonymous)]

I have like 50 of the darn things. You need two each to make Skink and Poison but they're so plentiful they aren't worth much. Looks like LAH price is 3 gems each.

[(Anonymous)]

Idk if the gen one market is completely dead or my gen ones are just ugly

Or maybe it's both.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a very matchy, near xyy with nice eyes up for pretty cheap and it hasn't sold, nonny. It's not just you.

I want to quit so badly....

[(Anonymous)]

I tried months ago and began liquidating the last of my stuff. Sold 100k+ gems worth of big goods to a user who paid tons in USD on other sites on my behlaf and they paid 95% of it off... then disappeared. Just a "taking hiatus!" on their profile and nothing more. They disappeared before I sent them the stuff, so it's just sitting with me.

I promised I'd wait 6 months before I resold the goods. I've sent them a nice message every month for 5 months saying if they get in contact with me in any way I'll extend that deadline. They have my UN on other sites besides FR, though I don't have theirs.

Now that the 6 months is coming to an end, still no word. I want to resell and quit for good after splurging on art, but I'm worried they'll show back up and be pissed. 6 months is more than enough grace time, right? Should I set aside some of what I make reselling, as a refund?

Re: I want to quit so badly....

[(Anonymous)]

No pity or mercy to them, Nonny. You gave a time period for them to contact you for an extension. From what you said, they didn't even tell you they were leaving. Just sell it all and be done with the site. Be free

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so tempted to change my UN, so I can "start over". Only issue is, the UN I have is what I use for literally everything. I'd write the new one down, but I'm still scared I'll forget it, as I'm super forgetful with new stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

write yourself an email with your new username and save the email. put in some keywords to make it easy to search. or make a note in your phone or somewhere on your computer.

honestly, chances are you probably won't forget as long as you don't make it something completely random. if you're worried about forgetting it *and* losing any note, digital notes tend to hold up better than physical ones, in my own super forgetful experience.

[(Anonymous)]

Think it'd be fine to hold a mass gen1 auction during no spendtember? I need to get this little shits out of my lair soon, but I don't want to if the event might cause less interest.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd wait, but tbh if the prices matter to you I'm not sure you'll get much out of them. The gen 1 market is still really heavily saturated from the colorwheel, and if a lot of them have older colors/less desirable combinations it may be hard to sell them.

You might get lucky if you have someone's dream combo or some sought after doubles/triples.

Twila = Scammer?

[(Anonymous)]

Topic will probably be deleted soon. Here're some relevant screenies:

http://imgur.com/a/Z7N9a

Here is Confused's embedded screenshot: http://i63.tinypic.com/2h35vup.png

tl;dr: Confused claims to have sent Twila a Speedy after they agreed on payment. Twila requested that it be sent over PM ASAP rather than CR. Confused did so. Twila allegedly received the Speedy, did not pay, and proceeded to ignore Confused's messages despite being otherwise active on FR until Confused posted this to a public forum, after which Twila claimed to have bought a Speedy off another user for a better price. They have since refused to respond to Confused's accusations, to explain the screenshot, to provide any alternative explanations, and have changed their avatar dragon.

can i have ur stuff

wilted roses

[(Anonymous)]

Do they actually exist and if so where did you get yours? I've been foraging for them in Earth and Plague all week and no joy. Are they like the skinks?

Re: wilted roses

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I imagine they're like the skinks. The trade only requires 5 of them, so I imagine they're really really rare.

Inspired by the wilted rose anon

It's been so quiet here since Rhea left as you all have probably noticed but
It brings a lot of questions over if Rhea was posting drama here regularly, was the source of where people get their drama from or a lot of drama users have lost interest suddenly.
It is nice to have a break from the constant drama and have anonrising build up it's community again but also
I am so thirsty for drama you don't even know.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm actually glad it's been quieter, I can relax more now. I don't need to worry about getting my ass chased over nothing and just to start false stuff.

I always did wonder if it was her most of the time, since she was on here a lot from what I've heard. Can't say I miss the drama, as its never been my thing...but I guess I can understand.

25kg and it's not even the last day on Ysdaar's accent auction.

Part of me wants to bid. The other part of me is screaming that there are much better ways to spend all that money. Like just commissioning customs (assuming I ever get custom slots). Question about that: sometimes artists say they can be "bribed" to do customs. How much is a bribe?

[(Anonymous)]

Looking at multiple examples: The average fee that I see is about ~2kg per accent, or 3kg per skin (prices may vary) plus blueprint costs for the commissioner.

Higher end artists, such as Spikulec, whose slots sold for $75 or ~7500g apiece, will probably charge more.

So depending on who you're asking and your coverage, I would estimate a minimum of 6k gems, ranging up to maybe 15kg if you're really desperate and it's a popular artist.
