I'm annoyed.
As always when I hope to be able to win a flash tournament early, the stupid ultra rare animals like the Golden Retriever and now the Emerald Dragon keep me pinned down for too long. This really sucks. Earlier today I got a 20 hour Lunar Moth timer and on the nest I had a Fairy Ferret. It would have been perfect to have won the tournament when the Ferret's hatching ended, so I would be able to hatch the prize animal in time for the gem goal and having my nest and den optimally occupied.
But no. Yesterday the Golden Retriever took 5 attempts to get past it and now I have 7 losses already against the Emerald Dragon.
During 30-round tournaments that's no problem, but during flash tournaments it is.
Already so much time has been wasted that it doesn't fully coincide with the Lunar Moth breeding anymore, but also the time has passed that it can hatch in time without speeding. I really wished that these flash tournaments could either be won a bit sooner and/or that the hatching time of the prize animal weren't so long and/or that the gem goal were for WINNING the tournament and not for HATCHING the prize animal.
Again, my plans for hatching it early have been befouled.
7 losses already against it, which is something that's hard to handle in a flash tournament. Not even Ember is getting past it.
I really need any of these animals to "up their game"...
Now I just hope I can win the tournament without speeding...
...meanwhile, the nest sits empty....
