No, someone else's skin was wrongly attributed

right? today they sent me two separate messages, each one containing broken bbcode to each baby they hatched. i told them the babies are really pretty and they did a good job (and ngl the babies were cute too)
honestly interacting with this kid makes me happier than i thought it would lol

at this point i am actually hoping for a full year sweep for both artists

like. they have made it this far. i wanna see the triple crown equivalent of FR fest skin contests.


anyway as an aside i am disappointed with the staff's choice of mythicalviper entry; the nocturne one was way more unique.

Awwww!!!

I agree, kids are cute! Their level of energy and enthusiasm is pretty refreshing sometimes, ngl. Especially when they discovered something new and ask you about it and you get to share your own experiences with them. It makes me feel old and wise, haha

Of course you can do with with adults too! But kids just got a certain charm to them, lol. :)

My kid wants to play FR SO BAD but she's nine, almost ten, so she has three years to go, but I let her help me "design" dragons in the scrying workshop.

I actually plan on breeding a few because my kiddo came up with some cute ideas.

We have two Brussels Griffons and she wants me to breed some dragons like this because they look like "fuzzy potato dog dragons"

Re: Looking for Old Drama

I don't know where to put this, so sorry if it doesn't belong here.

Another site I play is going through some big drama right now and someone who posted there said they played FR and they reminded me of someone who had a LOT of drama about them on various blogs.

However, I can't remember anything about the actual specifics, or their UN or anything to help me look it up.

What I remember is that they had a 'PoA' that they wanted people to go through, instead of contacting them directly, and they had a HUGE TOS about contacting them and that any infraction of said TOS would result in a block.

What I *think* they might have also done (might not have been them, which is why I wanting to look it up) is be either be super aggressive on the forums, or post controversial things, and any time anyone said anything against them, they pulled out a list of disabilities, and called people ablest (and then blocked people I think).

The user on the other site mentioned being involved in the Arcane Celestial Senate?

Mainly I want to see how their account differs (if it does) from the accounts from other people.

seconding the thought that this is princeeridan. their old account was locked for pretty blatant multi-ing but they recently rejoined FR as astralcrescent, along with a new account for their PoA as well.

That would be them, as that is the name on the other pet site I am on.

Thanks, Now that I have a name, I can hopefully find older drama about them (though that one linked post does have a lot of details)

Thanks for the heads up so I can block them.

Keep an eye on winterlywitch and dragoonrat- they were also created this past month, and one of them claims their old account was lost- and they're all friends with each other- also looks like many of astralcrescent's dragons came from winterlywitch.

they're probably rebuilding their multi-ring again.

Thats...quite the stance there. There's so many different ways to make money in this game, you dont have to grind for any of it. (I, someone who has over 20 mil treasure at any time, hasnt touched the coli in over 2 years)

I don't think the staff are the ones divorced here.

ayrt

no problem, im not that surprised they're involved in drama on other petsites. you can probably find some discussion on dramarising but imo some noteworthy ones are:

insults a thread for not having as many graphics as they wanted then blows up when someone tells them that was kinda rude: https://www.tumblr.com/dramarising-replacement/173118116878/alright-since-you-salt-mongers-want-to-know-more

their massive ass profile:
https://www.tumblr.com/dramarising-replacement/173203082424/i-went-to-pes-profile-after-seeing-all-this-salt

referring to themselves using transphobic slurs on the forums: https://www.tumblr.com/dramarising-replacement/175427224179/heads-up-pe-has-moved-to-lightning-why-because

tl;dr they like to be inflammatory then cry foul whenever people call them out on their behavior

Re: Looking for Old Drama

Right? This is one of the chillest games ever. It takes me like max 25 minutes a day to do all my dailies (including G&G + familiar bonding), and maybe an extra 10 if I have bonus fodder I want to train. I often don't do much more than that and checking in occasionally for Baldwin. I make plenty in a week or two to buy most anything I want, and if I want something that costs more than that, I just gotta be patient and save up. Even festivals are pretty easy since we get currency from daily activities now, plus can craft it via Baldwin. Obviously, you can get more money faster if you actually do grind more, but like... that's true for all games. It's a game. If you want things you have to put in some degree of effort. If less than 30 minutes a day of playtime is too grindy for someone, maybe this isn't the game for them?

(To be fair, not everyone is able to understand the G&G guides, but a lot of people just don't want to do it because it's boring. I'm very much in support of adjusting existing Fairgrounds games to have equivalent treasure rewards + adding new ones, but even so, you still gotta play the game to make money. Shocking, I know.)

To be fair to them, they weren't actually involved in this drama, but were just commenting on it, but post sounded very familiar and when they brought up FR, I was like 'yeah, I am pretty sure I have seen drama about this user before on FR, but don't know their name' Their current UN didn't ring any bells for me.

Thanks for that though, my suspicions were correct.

It's gotta be them. Take a look at their art thread.

Look who actually made those accents, MrMoodyGemini, one of the banned accounts. I'm not even surprised.

did they... did they just call out eight different artists? Really??? That post's gonna get shot down fast.

iirc hyrultia was the one that went around spreading rumors that mythicalviper was friends/family with the staff despite being warned multiple times not to spread drama in discord. idk if they have a personal problem with mythicalviper but their attitude about it has been really lousy. Calling foul play when people point out issues with their accusations, throwing tantrums in dms when people try to talk them down, and overall just being a shitty person. they're right, the system needs revamping, but my god stopping artists from participating when we're already getting so few submissions is not the way to go

AstralCrescent is PrinceEridan with ANOTHER multi ring

Howdy anons. First time poster. Saw this https://anonrerising.dreamwidth.org/5172.html?thread=4882228#cmt4882228 and decided to collect evidence to submit in a report ticket to FR. Figured I'd share my big collection of screenshots that I took in the past 1 hour and 40 minutes. The image is here, and you will want to zoom in: https://postimg.cc/VSj9vDHK
