Flight/Clutch/Litter Rules

[Narrator]

Here's the deal. I want to see character development and plots and all sorts of Perny RPing goodness. I do not want to see nonstop clutches and kitten litters all over the place all the time, but since I know we all enjoy them, I hope to see plenty over the course of RP. Aside from version 4.3's first Clutch (Galioth's Constellation Clutch of 14 eggs), no Clutch will have more than 10 eggs, with many of them only having 3-7 eggs. The reason for this? I want people to really enjoy their Candidates, but I don't want people stuck seeing their Candidates being stuck as Candidates for years (and I do mean years).

DRAGON FLIGHTS/CLUTCHES
*All Dragon Flights have a time limit of THREE WEEKS. If the Flight has not been completed in that time, an admin or moderator will choose the "winner" for you, usually being an NPC rider.
*All Green Flights will never result in Clutches, though they may result in a pregnancy for a female rider (be they on blue, brown, or green in question if the "partner" is male). Admins and Moderators will randomly assign pregnancies.
*Human pregnancies have two chances to be terminated via Between, and will also hold the same 50/50 chance. Miscarriages will be determined once after that, with yet another 50/50 chance.
*All Gold Flights will result in Clutches, as well as the possibility of a pregnant rider (so long as the "winner" is not a female brown rider).
*Gold Clutches will contain 3 to 10 eggs depending on administrative discretion. Colors within the Clutch may be negotiated, but must contain at least 1/3rd greens and 1/4th blues. So out of a clutch of 3, one dragon will be green, one dragon will be blue. Out of a clutch of 10, there will be 4 greens, 3 blues, with the remaining three being up for decision.
*IF AND ONLY IF an admin says so, a Gold Clutch may contain TWO ADDITIONAL EGGS if one is also a Queen. One egg will be the Gold, the other will be a dragon determined by the admin.
*Impression is considered precious and extremely important on CWW. All dragons and their choices must be run through with the admin. Some alterations may be made, though generally so long as they are not utterly outrageous, we will let you choose who the dragons go. Please see the following posts for requirements in a Dragon Impression Post.
*Maulings are pretty much a necessity. We would like to see one mauling of various severity per 7 dragons Clutched on CWW, though a higher frequency is certainly allowed.

DRAGON CLUTCH/IMPRESSION POST REQUIREMENTS
Posts may be given more detail than is required below, if you desire.

WHER FLIGHTS/CLUTCHES
*All Wher Flights have a time-limit of TWO WEEKS. If the Flight has not been completed in that time, an admin or moderator will choose the "winner" for you, usually being an NPC handler.
*Wher flights are to occur only in the middle of the night, they cannot occur in early evening or "late pre-dawn," when the air is at its absolute heaviest.
*Unlike dragons, green whers can clutch, HOWEVER. They can only clutch two to six eggs maximum, with the potential of all 6 being duds. This will be determined COMPLETELY RANDOMLY.
*Gold whers also clutch, obviously. They can clutch 2 to 13 eggs at a time, with at least 1 and as many as 9 of them being duds. Again, there is a chance that there will be no viable eggs. Again, this is determined randomly.
*Pregnancy for a woman handler is possible, depending, though the Flight Throes for a wher are weaker than that of a dragon. They are stronger than that of a fire-lizard.
*Clutch colours can be negotiated, of course. Like dragons, these clutches will primarily be made up of greens and blues. A GOLD MAY ONLY BE CLUTCHED BY A GOLD WHER; the clutch must be at least 9 eggs strong, viability-wise.
*As with dragons, Bonding is considered a special event. However, as wher eggs will be taken from the mother, it is important that the clutchmother player does not assign colours to specific eggs, but instead specific colours to specific people. All wher-receivers must go through admin approval.
*Again, maulings are expected. Moreso amongst whers than dragons. In fact, while queen dragons MIGHT attack a Candidate if they are endangering their clutch, a clutching wher WILL at least once in her lifetime maul, if not kill a wher-hopeful. Be aware of this.

After three weeks of "egg-taking," the post where wher-hopefuls may obtain an egg will be closed. All other whers will go wild, or to NPCs by administrative discretion. Eggs are to be hatched out according to "Roleplayer." If one roleplayer had three characters, you only need to make one post for them. These posts must be begun within two weeks of "egg-taking," and completed within three. If the wher-hopeful does not post in adequate time, then they will not bond to a wher. If the clutchmother roleplayer does not post in the correct amount of time, then admin and moderators will take over.
HATCHING (the hatching of, the Bonding of)
Please include the following information in the hatching and bonding threads.

[b]Clutch Name or Clutchmother...:[/b] (If themed, then please include the "Clutch Name." If not themed, then please include the Clutchmother's name, as well as the word "Clutch." Essentially "Whersk's Clutch"
[b]Name of Wher-Hopeful:[/b] (This should also be included in the title, or the roleplayer's name if more than one hopeful is played by them.)
[i]Hatching Post or Bonding Post[/i]
[b]Wher Color/Name:[/b] (This is only required once the wher is actually Hatched and bonded, in the final post. This may be formatted in another way, if you would like.)
