it's the spreadsheet being changed for sure, none of the people whose pings ive primarily been "missing" have me blocked -- and im also being removed from THEIR shops pinglists too, not just the main dragons with art pinglist
it's really frustrating :(

Hmmm. An hour? Daaaaamn. I am curious though exactly how did it go down?
Like did you just dump them onto one person who claimed to be online according to the spreadsheet and wait there for an hour? Did you ping all the attendants and see who would pick them up first? Did you message other attendants and see if they're able to take any dragons during your hour of waiting? Was there just one attendant, period, and you had no choice but to dump your dragons on them?

Thoughts? Personally I find 5-6 years minimum to do two achievements ridiculously long but I'd be curious to hear about other people's takes.

This theorethical did you PM/ping other people is what makes me glad my flight hides offline attendans and has a pinglist of raffle hosts to sort issues.
If I'm offline, I don't want random pings/PMs about the dragons lol

I used to play an MMO that put the most egregious shit in their achievements system (I’m talking stuff that takes like 1k+ hours of grinding, getting a rare drop from a timegated boss that also takes a fuckton of grinding to reach etc.) so it’s a little funny to me that people are writing walls of texts over achievements that take a few clicks daily for 5-6 years. What’s even funnier is that some of these folks also seem to be on the site for 6 years and even more?
I ain’t reading all of that but I don’t feel too strongly about it either way.

Yeah, if this were something that required more effort than 'sign in, click 5 buttons a day, with a couple of days needing more clicks' I would be more against it.
But, the achievement reads to me like it is meant to be a more passive one, where people get it when they get it. not one actively tried for.
It also hasn't been brought up in thread, because it is a hypothetical, but there is also the potential of players being able to get the achievement quicker down the line, such as (if I recall, hatching eggs also counts towards the achievement) a new ancient breed for NotN so you can get that breed eggs as well as Nocturne eggs. Or a new ancient whose eggs can be gotten through the coli. Or even a revamp on breeding, that changes how it works to make it easier to breed.

Maybe it's due the discussion about kinning and old Tumblr™ that made me remember this, maybe it's because I've been reading too much tumblr-aita, or this is just something that truly stuck to me, never to be forgotten.
I am not posting this in the hopes that someone will know WTF I'm talking about, as this happened 15 years ago and the story was in Spanish. This is closer to venting and TL;DR.
This goes back to when I started to use the internet for something more than just YouTube to watch dumb videos, at 11 I discovered Pokeshipping thanks to, again, dumb videos (mostly AMVs in my futile search to find true scenes of the anime). Back then my English was trash and the translation tools weren't that great either. So one thing lead to another and I found fanfiction at 12.
There was a site (of which I forgot the name) dedicated solely to store fanfiction in Spanish about those two, which honestly, was (probably) moderated decently, because I don't remember to have read harrowing/shocking shit in that place. The problem came when I finished all of the ones hosted there, going into the wild west of random ass fanforums, probably personal sites and, the then wilder, ffnet.
Even then some of those stories I could immediately discard as boring or awful, others were "crash car" tier, those that are diamonds in the rough (nostalgia maybe) and the uniquely great fanfiction that if you told me their authors have made it big I wouldn't question it. But, there exist someone special in my memory.... not in the good way mind you.
This fanfic is placed in Hoenn,in the Advanced era probably. Ash is awoke and listening to a radio(?) And a romantic song (of course in Spanish) about separated lovers starts playing, he starts thinking about Misty and he decides to go find her or some shit. I stopped reading after the first chapter, because I shit you not, May wakes up to OoC Ash, and this fucker throws a big ass rock to her, killing her. No more though about this is given, Ash simply gives not fucks. Looking back at it, this whole thing is so ridiculous that I can't help but chuckle when remembering the details (but I still don't like to listen to that particular song). So, small me tries to find more about this author, and more of their works are in that site. In every story of theirs that May was present, she does. When Ash is not committing manslaughter of May, pokemon are the ones doing it, & I think in another story it was something like a character (80% sure it was Max) going "May is dead, lmao". Wild ass shit. Ofc I didn't read a fucking single thing of them, then I got better and found the videogames and haven't looked back to the anime since.
After some time, I tried to find the author again, but like a ghost I could never find them or the site. What I think disturbed me most, was the comments (I remember it was closer in UI to AO3) as most of them were encouraging the author.
TL;DR: what the fuck.

Oh, I meant ping other attendants who are ONLINE. Why would someone trying to dump dragons try to dump them on offline people?
I wanna know OPs deets since there are people out there weird enough to refuse switching attendees for some reason.

I sent to someone who was marked as "In Coli" and it took several hours, which was fine for me because I was going to sleep, but usually the busy/queued/coli option means like a 20-30 minute wait so I was wondering if something was up with the spreadsheet.
If it were the only breeding achievements I'd have an issues, but they're fine as is. You don't have to actively be doing more than a few clicks a day to earn these so not bad at all like other nonnys said.
lmao nonnie, fic where the author's least favorite character is creatively killed off in various ways is a pretty well known little genre in fandom, I remember my younger sibling wrote a ton of these about their least favorite warrior cat on our family computer in middle school
If there were two pokemon trainers and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?
Wow what a throwback. I posted terribad Soul Eater fanfiction on ff.net in 2010! I heard that the site went down, I guess that cringe might be lost forever lol
ff.net is alive and well! someone out there is probably enjoying your 2010 SE fic.
OP
There were 3 attendants online, all set to active, so I just picked one and sent to them. It was only about 10 dragons. After about an hour and a 1/2 is when I decided to try another one that had freshly come online because I figured I would probably be contributing to a backlog for the other one and I know how stressful that can be.
The new attendant I picked had them taken and registered within 15 minutes, so I really don't know what happened. Possible spreadsheet error or something. Nothing major, I really wasn't in any rush except for not having a lot of spare lair space and wanting it back, but like I said, it made me curious about how slammed Shadow was.

i have a tough time understanding sarcasm on the internet sometimes. this isn't a common problem.
AYRT i have actually seen people be like, "🙄 it's just pixel dragons, why do you care so much" when people make even a mild complaint about some aspect of the game so i genuinely don't understand why people are doubting me here. maybe i'm just dumb and reading this whole conversation wrong. idk.
