Weyrlinghood: Month 8
Mating Flight Quick Facts
Because the Mating Flight Handbook is so extensive and we've broken down some quick facts in bullet-point format to help with some commonly asked questions about flights.
Do I have to RP sex after a flight?
Absolutely not. Some players choose to play out the natural consequences of a flight for the riders of the dragons involved as long as both players are consenting adults over the age of 18. However no player is ever obligated to RP sex and no player should ever try to force another player into playing this type of scene. How often do golds rise to mate?
IC: Golds rise once or twice per IC turn during a Pass and as little as once every 2 to 4 turns during an Interval. At the height of an Interval, several turns may go by before a gold rises again.
OOC: Golds rise on-camera as needed per the NorConMUSH Hatching schedule. Check with the Weyrleaders at individual Weyrs for policies on off-camera flights. How often do greens rise to mate?
IC: Greens rise between 2-4 times per turn or roughly every 3 to 4 months.
OOC: Check +events for other greenflights and use common sense for scheduling your flight. If there's already three flights that week, maybe try scheduling yours a week or two out. Many greenriders choose to alternate on-camera flights with off-camera flights to avoid flooding the game with flights. When are dragons old enough to mate?
Some dragons mature quickly and may be old enough to rise as early as a turn old but others won't rise or chase until at least a turn and a half. Male Weyrlings who want to chase prior to the end of Weyrlinghood, please touch base with the Weyrlingmaster/Weyrleaders for permission. Greens will generally not rise in their maiden flights until after the conclusion of Weyrlinghood when they've reached a turn of age. Do bronzes chase and catch greens?
Yes, NorConMUSH canon includes the chasing and catching of greens by bronzes. However, please bear in mind the size disparity. In these scenarios, the bronze will have a really hard time keeping up with a tiny fleet green and smaller browns and blues are more likely to catch. Flight winners however, are always at the discretion of the greenrider running the flight. Do blues and browns chase and catch golds?
Browns do chase and catch golds. Brown sires are not uncommon on the game, especially when a Weyr is very sure that they will not have a gold egg in a clutch. There's nothing to stop a blue from chasing, however blues really don't have the stamina to last through an entire goldflight. The expectation on NorConMUSH is that blues generally do not chase golds.
