Forums → The Tavern → "Click the egg" v2

*Dragon Cave is an adoptable site, with dragons.

*Only use this thread for posting your eggs, not other threads, as that is egg spam, and will result in the entire link being censored.

*Only post your egg ONCE. Only post your hatchlings ONCE. Basically to prevent spam. Instead post your incubator (more about that later)
**ER eggs and hatchlings can be posted more than once, if the owner wants help with saving them.

*Try to keep your posts long(er). Just posting the egg will result in the post being deleted.
**Engaging in discussions about DC, eggs and dragons is highly recommended.

*Do NOT post your eggs or hatchlings with the words "Please click it or it will die!!!1!!!one". It is greatly discouraged.
**Also, it says more about you than about us, if you egg/hatchling dies. Follow the guide, and you will be better off.

*Do not ask about the species of the dragon. And do not answer people asking, they will have to find out themselves.
**This is usually only when it comes to eggs. "What will this be", "how does -breed- eggs look like" and so on.

-------------------
DC Forums and DC Forums FAQ for general questions.

*In general 700/300/10 would be okay to get an egg to hatch.
**Clicks are in general not needed as much, so an egg would still be able to hatch with 700/300/2
***An egg will not hatch before 3 day 23 hours or later.

*Hatchlings grow up with 1000/600 as an average.
**same time as the eggs.

Egg and hatchling sickness:
An egg or hatchling will become sick, if it gain too many views too fast. This can be cured by hiding the egg/hatchling using the hide action, and unhide it when it is no longer sick.

Words:
Caveborn: CB. An egg picked up from the front page, as a mystery egg. Does not have a lineage.
Bred egg: Bred by using the breed option on the adult action page. Has a lineage. Picked up from the AP.
Cave: Main page, where mystery eggs are found. Also the DC site itself.
AP: Abandoned page. Where bred eggs and abandoned eggs are found. Occasionally a hatchling or two. Most eggs here have a lineage, though CB eggs can be picked up here as well.
Mystery egg: Dark grey egg with a red question mark on, and the describtion of the real egg beneath.
Held egg: Bred from your dragons in a clutch of more than one. Since only one can be kept, you will have to choose from the held eggs, choosing the egg to be kept by clicking the "Get Code" link. If no egg have been chosen after an hour, all eggs will be abandoned.
