Congratulations! Did you use gems to speed up fails?

Tick-tick, tick-tock... I slowly pull out the flowers... They drop on the floor.
Tick-tick, tick-tock... I spill the water onto the parquet floor...

And then I smash the CRYSTAL vase against the wall!!!

THAT'S HOW MUCH I HATE CRYSTAL!!!

Two in a row. Can you believe it?!

Anyway... Nice to see that everyone is plugging along. I have a peridot and an oly Gold but won't relax till I have two of both.

Girlpower, special thanks to you for being the glue that keeps us all together in this thread. Nice to hear from the other regulars too.
I love this game but the latest update with its crystal fails for Oly and peridot just knocked all the joy out of it for me. At least for now.
I am on autopilot just breeding, selling fails, etc. Anyway, happy breeding, everyone!

EEK!
I started to read your post......first three lines had me thinking ‘aww, what a lovely hubby buying his wife flowers'........
Next line suddenly left me with an uneasy feeling and by the last line I had a real shiver go down my spine.....my vivid imagination had me there witnessing that as I read it....this is ‘scary Eugekava' talking
After that post, I reckon Olys should nervously be flocking to your Islands

Hey, thanks for the compliment ......We're all in this together mate, I'm probably just more vocal....well more like long winded LOL.
I love coming on here and seeing familiar names, it's comforting...kind of like a cyber hug....always a mix of victory and struggle but we go through it together.
I start to worry when regulars don't post for a while.....theres still many missing hope they're okay. Always cool to see new posters come on board too, plenty of room for everyone here

Auto pilot is good my friend, I can't seem to relax into that mode this time but I really miss it...guess its all a state of mind...hate the added pressure BS have subjected us to right now....enough of that in the real world!

C'mon Eugekava, you can do this mate....no dragons have got the better of you yet have they??? You're the master dragon breeder and this is just a temporary crystal obstacle path...sending joy your way

You're on an Oly streak! I finally got the Peridot dragon. Crystal/Cactus. No surprise. Good luck all!

In the words of some book I read: "May the odds be ever in your favor."

[girlpower]

@hooked....aww, so happy you got your Peridot nice and early(knew cos I did visit)....I feel very relieved for you, really hope your daughter can get her one now too Maybe you should try for her and return the favour? Hope you get your other two Olys very soon....you deserve it good luck to you both x
Oh...yay, another Oly cooking I just read...good stuff!

@Yashy girl....quietly wishing you a wonderful holiday wow, you have done so well to get all your dragons before you go...that's awesome stuff!

@Jazbo....Do you have all your Olys now?? Really hope you get your Perodot before Friday lovely.....would wifi be available where you're staying? If not, seek it out Jaz....O.M.G.I can't believe I'm even saying this when you're on HOLIDAY....what kind of crazy hold does DV have on us all? Sheesh

Really hope everyone gets their Olys before time runs out (can anyone confirm for sure when that is?)
I think I'd be very happy to just try for the sapphire dragon next month.....well at least no more limited ones as well...phew!

[Yasha65]

@ Jazbo and Girlpower- Thnx! My hubby is already in Split, visiting his mother. I had to stay at home and work for another week. How unfair is that?!? Well, well.. Looking forward to two weeks in the sun anyways.

@ ButterFlyFan - Yes, oh yes I did. Lots and lots of 'em. But I haven't had as many Crystal fails as the rest of you seem to get. Mostly Tree/Moss/Cactus but of course some Crystals too.

Keeping both fingers and toes crossed for all of you to get the limited ones before they expire.

@ Girlpower again - imagine the horror of missing out on a limited dragon because your on a holiday?!? Definitely need to seek out wifi, no matter the cost.

I am going to rant today I have gotten two of every dragon so far except the gold oly and I just keep getting crystals. It is not like I do not support the dev I do my husband can get real upset with me on the itunes cards. They told me when I started playing right after christmas that they would try and release the christmas dragon again. I am not happy with them right now that they made it very hard for us to get all oly dragons there all 35 hours you never know what you have I am not happy they did that to us. I am not happy my xp is going in the trash again. I want more habitats and the cap off to 40 atleast come on guys. I think these oly dragons are a little ugly. We never got a dragon for 100 gems we get the over 1000 gem dragons you have to really save for those and hope you never have to buy one and more decorations please. Now I hope everyone that has not gotten atleast one of the dragons each gets one soon. Like everyone else I hate the crystal dragons. Lots of good luck wishes for all dragons to everyone. Yes I love pet hotel we always have a quest. Sorry about the rant. Good luck.

@eugekava: Scary eugekava is scary ._. I wouldn't want to be a crystal dragon under your roof. lol

Congrats to Yasha, Daily and everyone on getting their Peridots and Olys! Good luck to those still trying! Hopefully the Crystals will stop coming as much after appearing 5X in a row or something. It seems to have happened to me with the Olys...

@Daily: Do I see a Hunger Games reference there? ^^

No, still no oly bronze! But I haven't tried for a few days, too busy getting crystal fails trying for the elusive peridot! Tick tock tick tock! I will have access to wifi for first week of hols in London, but we have loads planned for the week so will more likely be lack of time than lack of wifi! Would be very anti social of me to sneak off to 'play'......... Wouldn't it???? . I told my hubby I would be taking my iPad to the Olympics, he was not impressed and I think the answer was 'NO!' I do have a pretty big handbag I could use though....... I am not obsessed with my games, I am not obsessed with my games.......

2nd week, pretty sure there won't be any wifi where I'm going! So apologies in advance if my gem gifting returns slow up during that week!

Calling BFS, hello BFS, ... crickets chirping, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp...

Hello BFS, are your ears burning? We are all patiently waiting for some news, Facebook announcement or app launch screen. No news since July 31! Some of our friends are leaving for holiday and we would appreciate any information about the much "loved" Oly dragons. Are they here to stay or going away this month? Olympics are in their last week and no announcement or info from you yet. For all those still trying to breed the Olys I recommend using Butterfly if you have one with Clover, Tree or Moss. The butterfly and clover are great together fluttering around and have given me two Silvers and three Bronze so far. I am hoping for one or two Golds before too many more of the others. This combo also will produce many fewer of the beloved Crystals (one out of 14 possible) as compared to using Sandstorm/Dodo with Quake or Crystal (will give Crystals one out of 3 times).

I finally have a Peridot finishing in the Breeding Cave in about 5 hours! Looking forward to the green egg, had a 25 hour timer yesterday while mindless breeding. Trees and 4 Crystals in a row have me not too excited about hitting the breed button. And then we get a Success and it makes the wait a little less painful.

Happy breeding to all as we wait for news from BFS! Calling BFS, anyone home? Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp...

I do not think you should be worrying about the gems and just have a great time with your hubby and family. I hope you have a great trip.

PSST Good Luck with the Dragons.
