#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!

"a reference to something on the site"

erm. the concept of rose-colored glasses existed looooooooooooong before FR, and I know the concept of seeing life in pink is over a century old.

it's about viewing things as "the good old days" and usually seeing things as better than they actually were, like older folks looking back at the 1950's like "those were the days" and ignoring the racism and whatnot.

point is, I'm not looking at "the good old days" like it's something nice in my mind but not nice in reality, it's something I've recorded in my data. and something the community's been pointing out for a while.

it's not a personal attack, no, but I was rather miffed at the assumption that I pulled this out of my ass. there's more colors and more newbies hatching dragons, it makes complete sense that there's less demand for specific nice combos when there's a lot more nice combos to strive for and the market is oversaturated, plus the overstocking of genes when they first come out.

I feel old, you've really never heard this phrase before outside of FR?

I understood what you meant and how you mean't it to come across. I actually agree with you.

And seriously, if there's people that haven't heard that term outside of FR...dear lord. It's used everywhere and quite often

Agreed, it's a pretty common term, and one I've heard thrown around recently even in international media...

I agree with you too. Too many people hatching dragons, so many nice color and gene combinations, and a lack of lair space means if you don't have the latest genes, latest fad colors, or a niche breeding option, and/or you don't advertise the hell out of your dragons, dragons really just don't sell. At least for non-fodder prices. I generally exalt 90% of the dragons I breed now.

Yeah but this thread was about selling dragons with the hot new genes.

Which aren't hot anymore because bogsneaks are now the hot new thing. And even when they are hot, there are a million color combinations so finding someone who wants what you're selling can be difficult. I can usually make one round of nests selling dragons with new genes well. Then they aren't hot anymore and don't sell for all of the reasons.
