Sorry about that topic-derailing, Faith. I had planned on making a new thread, anyway..'cause Lord knows, I'm the world's worst at going off-topic. XP
Sooo....I guess this is in case we get off-topic, elsewhere, again.
29 more levels for Fox! Yay! I wonder what alignment he'll turn out to be? o_o
-
Heh. ;D
That's okay. I followed the train right off the tracks, there.
I don't think that's shown, in the beta stage. Is it?...
But that is a good question... I'm wondering what mine'll be, also.
Hm...
Heh... the chimaera critter is really cute in the beta stage. :)
Would you have any preferences, in results?
(Maybe based from the link I'm gonna' put here, just for good measure... ya' know, seeing as this is the topic.)

Nah, the Omega stage is when you find out what alignment you are..I guess.
I like the "chaotic" form of the Varanius..but it really doesn't matter what they turn out to be. :3 (except for Hera..I might rig her to be neutral.)
-
Hmm...
I may have to look into these things, sometime.
Maybe, someday when I've had some proper rest...
-
I've made a point of not feeding my own pets, so their fates are entirely in the hands of others.
What's the point in mad science, if you have any idea what's actually going to happen?
-
Heh. ;D
I liked the "Chaotic" Varanius, too.
You want a little bright yellow imp giving the "rock on" sign with her fingers? ;D
\m/ *
Doesn't that'n have a goatie? XD
*Snrk!*
Not sure, there.
But yes, these little eggling monsters are kinda cool.
I think this forum is becoming a fan of the critters...

Heh..yeah. x3 I like that yellow one. At first I thought it was making...another gesture..but when I looked closer, I think it's just pointing. Why? I dunno. I point..and I dunno why. =D
~And yes. Yes, we are. x3 It's contagious! o=
-
*Snrk!* XD
Heh... actually, after I look at it... it looks like it's pulling down it's lower eyelid, to make a funny face... ;D
?
-
I thought about that, too..but the eye itself doesn't quite look it. *shrug* Whatever it's doing..it amuses me. x3 (why, though, I'm not sure. XD)
-
Hmm...
-
Heh. XD
Ooo! :D
That'n's cool, Dragyn.
It wasn't there, before. Now I think I want to go and get one... ;D
-
Hey, I couldn't find any info on any of 'em, so I just chose an egg that looked cool.
-
Oo..very cool looking, indeed. :3 I don't think I have room in my signature for another one, here, though....
Still gonna get one. On a more random note..is anybody else getting those "General Error" messages? D: I can't hardly do anything!
-
Try closing your browser and re-opening it, or clearing the cache.
They seem to be some sort of SQL memory error.
-
Heh. Well, it's cool as a critter, when it's hatched, too. =J
It wasn't even there, though, before... I wonder how often they come up with new options...
Gr... I don't know what to do with those things... >.<
How would I clear the cache?
I've been trying to figure out how to do that for quite a while, now... :P
SQL?
-
I'd adopt more, but there was barely room for this one...
SQL is a database, stored on the server. My guess would be they've set a limit to how much info a single computer can access at once.
-
Heh... my signature rather has room to spare. =J
However...
Every time I try to adopt that little monster or attempt anything with Valenth I get a blank with the words "Server Work!"
So now I'm slightly aggrivated.
(So, sorry, can't feed your pets, right now. ':) )
-
Hmm...must be maintenance time...
Or the server is down. One or the other. Maybe both...
-
I'unno. All the images from Valenth are all wacky, too... don't load at all...
Does anyone else get this?
-
I've lost them all now, too.
I wonder what the deal is.
-
Looks like the server's down.
-
That's too bad...
But at least I don't have to try and figure out what's was wrong with my side of the line... ':D
Now everyone has the problem... which isn't actually that great... >.<
Wonder what could put the server down...
-
That instability in their SQL database probably finally hit critical mass.
I hope so, as that would mean that both problems could be fixed at the same time.
-
Huh...
How long do you think it'll take 'em?
I bet forums everywhere are overrun with Xs... XD
-
Whatever it was, it seems to be back up, now.
-
What are the things.
-
The adopt-a-monster-in-a-tube like you have in your signature?
-
Heh. ;D
Heh, I got one of those ones, now. ^_^
It's name is actually Dutch... but it just looks like messed-with English.
*Shrugs* ;D
-
I had to get one, too. It wouldn't fit in my signature, though. Well..it might..but I had to get another, just to keep it an even number..and that one sure wouldn't have fit.
I need to rig Steve & Fafnir....>.>
-
I've yet to get a fourth... but I kinda want another... it's like I'm some sort of deranged addict... XD
Heh. :D
For what results?
Hm...
Mine are in order of color/vibrancy...
It's quite preferred, that way... in fact, it'd irk me if they were rearranged... but I'm sure none of you have even noticed... ;D
-

-
Mine are arranged by gender. xP
Steve is rigged to be Chaotic, and all the rest are rigged to be Neutral. Fox, D.G., & Glitch don't matter.
-
Heh. ;D
I'd noted. And Blood's is female right and males left.
Though if he rearranged the males, they'd be organized by color, too.
And yours, Fox, was brightest colors right, and darker (blues, also) left. Though if you'd've rearranged Steve with Fox, then there'd be a bit of a gradual inclination in color. red-gold, green-black, dark blue, dark blue-gray... ... ...
I'd wondered if my noting these things was somehow a sign of something 'bout myself I ought to know...? XD
-
Ah..but 400 levels later, I'd have to re-arrange them again, as Hera would turn out bright yellow, and Steve would be black/gold/green. So it'd be Hera, Fox, Steve & Fafnir..and that'd throw off my male/female arrangement.
Heh....I have a strange way of going about things. x3
-
*Snrk!* XD
I might have fun figuring out mine, later. :P
Raydriel will change color depending on what she turns out as.
Gold, brown or red. :P
The one's dark blue, and the other's bright yellow... >.<
I might-should get a fourth to match my patterns... XD
I intended it to be female, anyway. :P
-
Mine won't be changing order, as keeping them in the same places is part of the social experiment.
I have certain expectation about how each one will turn out, and I'm putting the theory to the test. Telling you that has probably poisoned the experiment.
-
Heh! :D
Hm... does that mean you're testing to see how lawful/chaotic we are? :P
Uh-oh... *Very lawful...* ':D
-
I can't really specify what I'm testing, without blowing the experiment for sure.
Tell you what, after you guys level my monsters up, then I'll tell you.
That should only take you a hundred years.
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
Aw, it only requires 501 feedings... :P
Hm... on second thought you might be right and should write it down or something so it's not forgotten, by then ... XD
-
It also helps to lurk on other forums. >.> I have mine on my GAIA profile, and as my signature on the DMFA forum. xP
'Course..every now & then I drop a post on Valenth, too. Kinda sucks you can only level them once, daily..the rest is up to other people. Ah well, I suppose that's part of the fun. :3
I usually feed whatever looks cooler. x3 Lawful is common..but when that Suspicious Green Treat shows up, I just have to click it. 'Cause feeding your pet a baby dragon is just funny.
*edit*
I'm going to post all my pets....they won't all fit in my signature, anyway.

On a side note...where'd your pets' names come from? :3 Mine are fairly obvious..well..aside from Steve. It was late. >_>
-
Heh. :D
Mine?
I'unno. It would be quite apparent that they came from nowhere, if they came from somwhere.
Except for Flikkering, as I mentioned elsewhere. It's another word in Dutch... so, pretty much, it was just a way to say something like "Shimmering" without it sounding too common (and in this case, kinda feminine)or cheesy. :P ;D
Also, another language sounded fun.
And my choice in word was due to the fact that other words didn't sound as neat, so I didn't use them.
Ooo...
I haven't seen that one yet...
-
Mine are named after characters of my own, for my really-and-actually-someday-maybe-ish webcomic.
-
Phairon was a god of war and fire. I think he was a Norse god, but it's been awhile since I read that book, so don't quote me on that.
It should be noted that I deliberately mangle the spelling when I write it, so don't ask me to remember how it was originally spelled.
-
The internet world needs more Norse myths. They're just cool. Like Fafnir! =D
~To Faith: It's a new limited. I don't know what they even look like, yet. :3
-
Well... I guess I have had those names in mind for something, eventually.
But if it's going to be anything it'll probably only be for personal benefit. No one else'll want it, anyway. :P
Hah!
I've got mine. ^_^
Another weird name to add, I guess... :P
No, I don't really know what I was thinking.
Other than thoughts of sleep deprivation... I really ought to be sleeping for Districts, tomorrow... ::)
Every day I wake up at about 5:30
The last two nights I went to sleep at 1 something in the morning, the night before that midnight, the night before that around midnight again... >.<
Gotta' stop that. :P
But, hey, my grades are fair! That's always nice... ':D
Which reminds me...
Today I was printing out my grades at the end of a class 'cuz I needed them next hour, teacher assignment, and two people walked by and when they saw my grades became all surprised and one said, "Woah, I didn't know you were smart!!!" :P
Perhaps I just leave a great impression upon my fellow students... XD
But also, I'm not about to tell them that I just narrowly avoided a C by a three percent difference... XP
I've realized something, just now.
Only one of my monsters are mammals. Most are reptillian or hopefully going to be so. Is that strange? ;D
(But the dragon-typs are so cool... :D )
I would've wanted a Kumos... (They remind me of my dogs... ;D )
Or a lawful Lapsworg, but oh well, for now. =J
Oops... I'm rambling a lot... possibly due to said deprivation of sleep...
(Sorry, ya'll. I'll wander off outside to my airstream now.)
(Not even going to add my little Halleupak, tonight...)
-
The only real problem I have with the Valenth critters is that I don't tend to get to feed them at all. Usually, either Blood or Legion will have already done so, so it won't let me do it. (One of the disadvantages of IP tracking...)
Ah, well.
I can still feed 'em from school, anyway.
-
...?
Why won't it let you?
Heh.
I don't get time at school.
The irritation for me is in not always being able to open the silly thing, 'cuz Valenth seems overly fond of reacting poorly to my attempts to open any windows of theirs... >.<
-
I can't, because it logs who's fed them by IP. Since Blood usually does it before I do (often while I'm at school, actually), the IP here is logged as having fed them, so it won't let me.
-
Actually, you can still feed them, it just won't give you a level up.
It will still move their alignment around.
If you're really desperate for that XP, feed them from school.
-
Oh.
Yeah, it does that to me, some, too.
Huh.
*Shrugs*
It won't let me feed other people's critters, sometimes, too.
(Hence the reason Dragyn's has 33 and Blood's all have... well, less than that.)
I'm wondering about feeding some of mine to catch 'em up, also...
I'm still trying to figure out what that social experiment is... it must be something really obvious that I'm just not thinking of... :P
Like, will it turn out neutral?
'Cuz, if so, I'm guessing not. I'm feeding all of your pets particular foods 'cuz they look cooler, with certain alignments... XD
-
*giggle*
I got to level them all twice, today. :3 (just got home from Nana's)
-
*Snrk*
Hm...
Is anyone else getting a lot of "General Error" pages when they try to open something in Valenth?
-
More so than usual, today, it seems. >.o
At least I was able to find out what the Beta/Omega Halluepaks look like. :3
-
Looks like it's working smoothly, now.
-
Heh.
I guess. =J
I only got one of the limited, because I only want a chaotic one, personally.
Personally, however, I wish I were there on time for a Kumos, still. XD
I wonder why it keeps having errors, though. It's kinda irksome. :P
-
Ugh..indeed, it is. At least it gets better, after a while.
Raydriel is at the halfway point. :3 Well..almost..but it's just one more level. I'm thinking about rotating mine, to get them all hatched, at least...
-
My ones are weird
-
Yay! :D
Soon I shall have a little monster instead of an egg in a tube. ^_^
Heh... XD
Gryphor, I'm afraid your code is a little off, or something of that variety.
Perhaps you might should clean your signature box out and recopy those. =J
-
The site must be down, again. >.<
'Tis a bugger..'cause I usually feed everybody's pets while I'm waiting on something. xD
-
it has given me general error every time so i havn't feed any or got any
-
Yeah, me too, of late.
-
An e-mail stated that they fixed the general error thing. :3
*throws hands up in the air & runs around in circles*
FEEDING FRENZY!
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
Sure - foodstuffs all around. XD
Sounds like a potential food-fight. O.o ;D
-
Food fight with dreamdust & stuffed sprites.....wow. THAT sounds like a fun food fight. :3
-
Well, I am glad to see our tube clone friends back to normal.
I was beginning to fear I'd have to give up my experiment.
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
That does...
... ... ...
Stolen souls... XD
...
I really have to find out what the results to this experiment are. It'll drive me nuts. XP
-
Then click on the tubes.
The more often people click, the sooner I get results.
Honestly, a forum this size is probably too small to be a reasonable statistical sample, but not that I've mentioned my experiment, I have to follow through.
-
Oh, I do, when I get the time. :P
Tonight its one of those rare nights. ;D
Apparently they have added new foodstuffs to what's available...
Anybody have any idea what a jelly-syringe is? O.o
-
Crap, it's loading so slow, lately...D:
Mmm...buttercreme bar...
-
*Laugh!!!* XD
'Kay, now that leads me to an interesting thought...
If you could eat any of those items at this moment, what would it be? ;D :P
I know, I'm insane with the things I wonder.
-
Heh..it works, at Nana's. I guess it's just my connection, at home.
That buttercreme bar has me a'cravin' 5th Avenue, or something. XD Somebody on the forums suggested that Dream Dust would likely taste like Pixie Stix. ._.
-
I have created a few pets. please feed them. i havent looked at what they will look like when they hatch. and not having posted in so long i thought this would be the best place to get them some exposure. 8) 8) also how do i make them on the same line.
-
Put the entire set of code on a single line, and don't push enter. That should do it.
-
Well, either way, 'ello again. ;D
We have a lot of those, "Hello, again." moments, on this forum.
Hm... I haven't been on here, much, myself, of late, either. >.<
Oops?
-
Mwahahahahahaha!!! i have them side by side now. Yay! 8) 8)
-
*Applause* (I think...)
-
how can we tell what they will look like when they hatch? I havent found this yet. please link. thnx ;D
-
I haven't found that either, but I'm not too worried about it.
Huh...I'd forgoten just how fond you were of the "thnx" thing...
-
It's in the forums. :3
http://valenth.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=231 (http://valenth.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=231)
-
Oops, sorry, I would've put that up...
Actually, I put that up a while ago. *Shrug*
Meh, both your monsters look neat. ;D
-
Yay, just a few more levels away from hatching. =D
Now we wait a bajillion more years for them to reach their final stage....
-
Apologies for the double-post. Kinda forgot about these guys..
Pet-dump!

Mostly noting that there's a bunch of neat-looking new ones. c:
-
How long has it been since anyone clicked on these poor starved creatures?
-
I do...occassional clicking. >.> Valenth has had so many problems..and to top that off, our internet's been weird...so I haven't bothered much, in a while.
-
Yeah... XD
I kinda stopped a while back, when they were having issues. And my Internet's always been kinda weird, so it'd just take forever to load a dysfunctional window. :P
...
Oh, yeah... I need to run AVG... ;D
'Kay, well I'm still curious about Blood's little project. So. *Clicking*
And I can't see any images right now, else I'd comment on Fox's new additions...
...
Okay, maybe I won't be doing any of that... T.T
Errors. :P
-
Eh..there's still some problems..but I think most of them are pretty much cleared up. (except, for some reason, there's still a problem, with Andromeda..)
-
Heh. I see you have replaced your glitchy pets. :P
And with new critters!
What's the story with these?
-
They're from an Anime/card game/whatever, called "Digimon". I used to LOVE that cartoon, as a kid. I'd like to find some DVDs, one of these days...>.>
But yeah. I replaced 'em, because I usually just come to this page, to feed everybody.
-
Wait, so why are some of them frozen?
-
You can freeze their stages, much like you can, on Valenth. I'm planning on freezing all of them, at some point.
I'd like to get more, but right now, I don't have the time to post "Click meeee!" on the forums..so there'd just be little blobs, with eyes, sitting there. >3>
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
I see.
How many stages do these guys have?
Well, I still have these little buggers, and will probably hold on to 'em until they finish growing. So, for the next few years... XD
Also, I have to figure out Blood's experiment. ;D
-
It depends. Various Digimon have various numbers of stages.
(I like their Champion level stages, personally)
-
The experiment:
With my Valenenth critters removed, to make room for this BvS banner, it's time to disclose the results of my experiment.
Does anyone want to guess what I was measuring, before I give it out?
-
Er... XD
Good vs. Evil? :P
Forum activity/interest levels? XD
Internet activity from people with slow connections vs. those with faster connections?
Forum Poplulation?
If people fed from right to left or left to right, with the idea that they might not finish feeding them all? ::)
Whether or not we'd believe there was ever an experiment!?!
How mad you could potentially drive me by making up an experiment and not saying what it was? XP
-
The primary theory being tested was that the center of three creatures would receive the most click-thrus, with the creature on the left coming in second.
There were some secondary theories regarding alignment, but I never got enough clicks to make sense of them. I guessed that the creatures would be good, evil, and neutral, from left to right.
The clicking theory proved to be correct, but we never got to see any alignments, as people lost interest in clicking on tiny animals, long before then.
