17407 Im so happy people have stopped posting mean negative hurtful comments about Juliet Simms as of late and that they are seeing what a beautiful talented human being she is
Why: Poor communication, failure to return a loaned dragon, and exalting said dragon without permission.
When: October 11th-17th
Explain: I offer free nest rentals and every time I offer compensation so people know I'm not stealing their dragons. It also clears up some lair space for the hatchlings when they hatch. On October 11th I was contacted by lunusdragoness, asking about a nest rental: http://oi39.tinypic.com/a0gor6.jpg
At the time I was slightly short on lair space, but was very close to being able to afford an expansion, so I offered a solution: they hold one of my hatchlings to make room for their dragons. A boon was not offered, so the incubation period would have been more than enough time for me to expand. The exact PM conversation from my first reply to her agreeing to hold one of my dragons:
I then sent over an unnamed spiral hatchling on Oct. 11th to be held-- said hatchling being a freebie from the breeder, who I knew well. I also sent over enough insects to feed my dragons through the incubation period: http://oi39.tinypic.com/1g540i.jpg
Her response was to ask for meat instead (as an additional note, the 60pts of insects was not returned with the request). Gifting food is a common practice for me, so I didn't hesitate to send over meat for her own dragons: http://oi41.tinypic.com/1zz5l60.jpg http://oi40.tinypic.com/dlhm5w.jpg
The next day I was greeted with two PMs from lunusdragoness, one being a reply (http://oi43.tinypic.com/2mmfthc.jpg), the other stating that she needed to send the hatchling back when one of her nests was ready to hatch: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2ni0dqa.jpg
Again, I expected the pair to be sent over. I was very close to a lair expansion, so I assumed that once I got the breeding pair and bred them, I would be able to see how much extra space I would have for the hatchlings afterwords. Considering that I would gain five extra spots, the odds were that I would have room for the hatchlings and room to take back my own dragon. http://oi39.tinypic.com/wrizy1.jpg
A day passes. While it struck me as odd that the pair had not been sent over yet, I gave them the benefit of a doubt and chalked it up to being busy. Then another day passes. By this time it is the 14th, three days after initial contact, and I start to become a bit concerned. I go to their lair and check to see that my dragon is still there, and she is, though now fully grown. I decided to contact lunusdragoness in case they'd forgotten about our arrangement: http://oi43.tinypic.com/2qdq2xd.jpg
She responded almost immediately: http://oi40.tinypic.com/352lxuf.jpg
Three more days pass. My concern had reached its peak, as I had not been contacted by lunusdragoness in the entire time. On Oct. 17th I went to check on my spiral once again. It was gone.
First I tried to contact her in case something had happened. I didn't know if she'd given it to a friend for holding as her own nest hatched, or if she'd sold it, so I wanted to hear from her why my spiral was missing: http://oi39.tinypic.com/2ih5rtj.jpg
I then tried searching the auction house in case it had been put up (though looking back that didn't really make much sense if the dragon was already gone from her lair). Thinking that it must've been sold, I went to the lair of the breeder who I got the spiral from in the first place and checked the father's page. There were three dragons under offspring, so I checked all of them, because for some reason all of them were named when I specifically remember sending over an unnamed hatchling.
I then found that my spiral had not only been named, but exalted by a plagueflight member: http://oi42.tinypic.com/slhb39.jpg . As a side note, I also went to check the thread that kept track of which exalt bonuses were on what days: http://oi43.tinypic.com/2q8x76b.jpg
If lunusdragoness hadn't exalted "Soulcatcher", she had given it to another plague member and they had exalted it. It was doubtful that it was an accident, seeing how my dragon had been named before being exalted, but either way, I was not contacted at all during the time that this would have happened. Lunusdragoness never PMed me to ask whether or not I could take the dragon back, whether it was okay to give it to someone else for holding, or even apologize for exalting it. After finding this out, I sent a PM voicing my disapproval, which was also never replied to. I've since been waiting for an explanation as to what exactly happened.
