Res Scotica

This made me literally laugh out loud:

 

My Dragon Cave eggs hatched!

I also have learned more about how things work. The site monitors three statistics: "Views", "Unique Views", and "Clicks".

Views and Unique Views are both based on how often the image of the egg/hatchling/dragon is loaded/viewed, with Views incrementing every time it is loaded and Unique views incrementing only the first time it is loaded by a unique IP. This means that there is no need for people to actually click on the egg/hatchling/dragon image to increase the Views/Unique Views -- just loading, say, your LJ friends page when it lists an entry by me with the egg/hatchling image is sufficient to increment Views and/or Unique Views.

Clicks is based on how many times the egg/hatchling/dragon is actually clicked, but it only counts one click per unique IP. (I'm not sure if that is one click for a whole lifetime, or one click per life stage, but I'm guessing the former.) This means that if you have already clicked on a particular egg/hatchling/dragon, there is no need to click it again -- only the first click will count. (Well, unless you click from a different IP.)

Finally, I have discovered there are Dragon Cave fan sites where you can register or post your eggs/hatchlings/dragons and fellow Dragon Cave fans will view and click them (and you are expected to do the same in return) to help them hatch/grow. There is even one with a special "Emergency Room" area for eggs/hatchlings that are getting close to their deadlines. A very long and seemingly comprehensive list of such fan sites can be found in the Dragon Cave Forum. The two fan sites I used are The Dragon Cave Fansite and Daily Dragon Fix. This means --to everyone's delight, I'm sure-- that you aren't endangering my eggs/hatchlings by ignoring them! Ignore away, with my blessings! :-)

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for? Answer, then post this question to your own journal (if you want) and see how many crimes you get accused of.

Apparently, I'm not. (But then, they didn't ask about staying up too late baking three batches of zucchini bread...)

You Are 18% Evil

You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm. Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want!

I got this from kahnegabs:

1. My username is ___Scotica___ because ___"SLK" was already taken, and "Scotica" is what I have been planning to put on my personalized license plate when I get one (because "Scotia" is already taken by somebody else's license plate)___.

2. My SCA name is __Effrick___ because ___I liked that it was supposed to have been fairly common in my chosen period and culture___.

3. My journal is titled __Res Scotica__ because __it's a Scottish thing__.

4. My friends page is called __Scoticae Amicae Amicique__ because __well, it's my friends page__.

5. My default userpic is __my SCA device__ because __I needed something for a userpic, didn't want to use an actual picture of me, and that was a picture I owned the copyright to (someday I hope to have something more interesting, but I have no idea what)__.
