This is a series of hypothetical questions I had a blast writing that I thought would be interesting to see responses for from the FR community. What would you do in these situations?
Quote:
(1) A brand new gene comes out, and it's everything you could have ever wanted. You scry a dragon of yours and it fits. So. Perfectly. You buy the gene and apply it - this dragon is hands down your favourite dragon ever now. You show it off in the forums and everyone remarks how cool it is, and the likes start pouring in. You get a PM from someone wanting to acquire your dragon - they're offering you a light sprite for it.
What would you do?
(2) The new map update comes out and everyone's hyped. You jump into the new map and scroll around it, checking out the new visuals, effects and landmarks. You're impressed at how far you can zoom in and start looking for really tiny cool details to appreciate. You see what looks like a miscoloured pixel, slightly lighter than the rest in the center of a darkened doorway in the Tangled Wood. As you mouse over it, your cursor changes to indicate you can click on it, so you do. The page loads with a black background, an image of a shadow sprite with it's finger over it's mouth as if it's going 'shhh' and white text under it that says 'keep this a secret and i'll make it worth your while'
You reload the page and it goes back to the map. The pixel is gone.
What would you do?
(3) A new user joins FR and you see them introduce themselves, so you say hi :)
You're both in the same flight and discover you share the same birthday.
Over the coming months you see them pop up in the forums, asking questions and getting involved in things. You remember asking the exact same questions when you were new.
Another month passes and you see them post something that makes you feel weird. Where have I seen that before?
You go into their lair to discover your old permas you used to love but sold are there, dressed the way you used to dress them. You check their forum post history and compare it to your own - they're identical, the comments being posted on the same day years apart.
What would you do?
(4) You're browsing the AH and decide to check out the Specialty section. You click and as the page loads, there at the top of the page is an imperial scroll, listed for 1
. You hit buy expecting to see that the listing doesn't exist, but you're greeted with the Congratulations! pop up.
Almost immediately the mispost lost and found thread jumps to the top of the discussion page - the listing was a mistake and the seller is in tears trying to get it back. Threads pop up with people all wanting to help retrieve it, everyone wants to know who has it.
What would you do?
(5) A new update comes out for the coliseum adding in new very rare 'events.' Every time you click 'fight on' after successfully completing a battle, you have a tiny chance of getting an event rather than a normal battle. The devs hint at what the events could be with the announcement, but decide to let players discover what happens in them for themselves.
3 days go by and not a single player has discovered an event yet and speculation is going a little wild.
While in the coli you suddenly come across an event with your favourite coli grinder!
The page loads and you see an image of a vast room, with a marble plinth on the left side with light streaming down on it, and an old sad looking snapper on the right, sitting in the shadows. A breed change scroll sits on the plinth, of an ancient breed you've never seen before. There's a button saying 'Take scroll in front of the plinth, and a button saying 'Leave' in front of the snapper.
You hit 'Take scroll' and a pop up box with the snapper on it appears with the text -
'There's a heavy price for taking this scroll. You must leave your greatest fighter here, forever. Are you sure you want to do this?'
What would you do?
(6)You hatch an egg for fun and it's an XXX obsidian with primal eyes.

Keep 'em, slap a "Not for Sale" sign in their bio, but take down the names of players who might want to buy them later on. Level them up, get them some art and genes, basically beef up their value. I might sell them for a nice sum later on...but it's equally likely I'll get attached to them and keep them instead!
