Dragon Cave

[Johnny Bravo]

I used the search function and couldn't find a thread for this website. There's been some drama going on lately that I thought you guys might get a kick out of.

So Dragon Cave is one of those websites with click pets. You click someone's pixel dragon, the pixel dragon gets bigger, and then the person who owns the pixel dragon makes it fuck another pixel dragon and they make a baby pixel dragon. More info, if you care: http://dragcave.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Cave_Wiki or https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Dragon_Cave

Short version of the drama: Whiny babbies cry because they can't have the most super special pixels of all.

Long version of the drama: A couple of years back, TJ09, the dude who runs the site and decides which super special pixels are the most super special, started a raffle. The raffle gave out "cave born" "prize dragons,"Tinsel Dragons and Shimmer Dragons. "Cave born" or "CB" dragons are insanely valuable because they have no lineage and breeding is SRS BUSINESS.

Only the raffle winners got the CBs. This alone resulted in a lot of bawwing, because very few were given out. Even more bawwing ensued when it was discovered that the CB prizes did not breed very well, resulting in a drought of second generation prizes. Several "solutions" have been proposed to this "problem" of everyone not getting exactly what they want. The threads made to discuss these "solutions" are inevitably the focus of a lot of pointless drama and autism.

Improve Prize Breeding Ratios
aka "More Babby Pixels"
Multi-Clutch for Prizes
aka "Pretty Much the Same Fucking Thing + Even More Drama"
Release a Coal Version of the Prize Dragon
aka "Everyone is a Winner"
Release Prize Dragons in the Cave
aka "Fuck the Raffle, Give Us Pixels!!"
No New Prize Breeds
aka "The Thread that Makes Everybody Pissed"

For your consideration, a mod bawws about not having total control over his super special pixels:

I rarely lineage make. I can gift other things So I'd not be missing much. I collect - specifically I hoard.

As for Multiclutch, I hated it. I hated breeding any of my special favourites because they could shoot out multiple eggs. I do not mind it at holidays and I tend to breed my stuff reasonably freely expecting it to go out, however there are 1 or 2 of my special favourites I refuse to breed on their season because of the multiclutch. - Special attachment. I'd probably breed the dragons I don't have particular love for such as my inbred or messy lineages old pinks and frills.

When it comes to Gifting I like to gift on my terms and my terms only. I do not gift because people expect it or even demand it. I often take note of what people are looking for, because I am not particularly crazy about lineages, I can spend some time in the AP searching for things these people want. I am very generous to my friends and to randoms who do not expect it.

I know for a fact many people would ignore the DO NOT PM messages people try to place on there profiles, signatures and scrolls. I have had people say to me "I read your scroll warning but... could you breed me....." my answer will always be no.

It's not that I do not want people to have "luck" getting low gens, but when it comes to my dragons and my scroll I have the final say of who and what I breed and for whom. I dislike people thinking they are entitled to my low gens. No one is entitled to anything I make, and some people will find this a truly hard thing to swallow. Some people may think I am harsh, but I am very strict in real life and I am just as strict in game. As I said before I do have a set of scroll rules, I also "practice what I preach"

I also, for the record, do not subscribe to "everyone wins" concept that has become popular during the 1990's. I would consider what most people are asking of low gen or prize winners to be akin so expecting a person who won 350 million to give half a million to everyone that asks because "share the wealth". I will share the wealth to whom I feel deserves it, not to those who demand it.

TJ has also stated fairly clearly that prize dragons have been more successfully breeding than commons. People think its unfair if I would cease breeding my dragons if we multiclutched? I think its unfair to be forced to provide for everyone.

Note: When dragons "multi-clutch," the dragon's owner is only allowed to pick one egg to keep. The rest get sent to the abandoned page and can be picked up by anyone with an account. This in no way inconveniences the breeder unless they are an exceptional individual.

People play Dragon cave still?

Yep. A surprising amount of them are adults, too. No skin off my back; I play and I'm an adult, that's how I know about this drama. What gets me is watching other grown adults shit their pants over pixels.

 

[Stuff and Things]

I used to play that (i stopped playing just a few months ago) but i just don't understand why people make dramas out of that, like, is just a pixel-pet-thing :?

How is this any different than people on Gaiaonline committing flagellation over items?

It seems to happen every holiday, too. This Valentines there was an event about giving out flowers. People were upset you couldn't keep your own flowers, even though the point of the event was to trade and give them away.

Unrelated: how the hell did your avatar get even cuter?

I used to do Dragon Cave. I stopped about four years ago or something like that... all this drama seems totally unnecessary and people are placing wwwayyyy too much significance in these little pixel pets that don't even do anything.

So, the game is about pixel-dragon-pet-things and they complain about the flowers?
And my avatar got cuter because of the pink dress

Dragon Cave is ancient. I can't believe people still play it.
