The Gene Pool Mutation thread

[Gene Pool]

Please read!

Ok, to start off, let me remind everyone of something important. I never posted saying there was a trading season, people just started trading. I said this was fine. As it added to my workload while I was trying to color fish, people who OWNED the egg as it hatched get to name the first for each mutation. That way, trading early was at your own risk.

Ok, disclaimer out of the way- The first step is to locate the lowest ID number for each mutation. I believe I have them all written down here, but would love verification, if anyone feels like double checking my work. If you dont double check, you can't complain! Im posting an image from the examples folder of each gender, so you can get a good detailed view of the mutation.

You have 24 hours from the time of this posting to dispute an ealier ID'd fish, then I open it up for the owners of the fish to name thier mutations

Rules (this doesnt apply until the 24 hour grace period where people get to dispute lowest ID ownership in case I missed anything!!)

1. the name must be PG-13
2. no 2 mutations can have the same name, so the first to post a name gets to use it
3. you may ask for suggestions from anyone
4. names must be in by Feb 24th at 19:00, or naming gets opened to the public
5. no whining, this is meant to be fun, otherwise I would have just named them myself!
6. if I need to add/edit/change these rules, I can!

I can't wait to see what people name them X3
Some have pretty "obvious" names, but I wonder if people will name them differently just to be different XD

[red_uni387]

whew! glad I'm not stuck with the task of finding a suitable name lol

can't wait to see what you guys come up with~

[Lectral]

For the fin color mutations, I am assumimg they count even on the shape mutated tails?  Because I think my new fish 173 has the Fin Mark 1

[sera]

*WILL NEED SUGGESTIONS*

xD;;;;

[Gene Pool]

Ack once it allows me to look again, Ill check on that. Also about to do a big ol' game to home the donated eggs so they can hatch for verification too.

*updated 173-fin mark 1*

good catch, I knew I'd have at least 1 wrong.

[Solistia]

need suggestions sera? XD
Well, in the breeding thread, they're calling your fin mutation "Betta Half Moon Tail"
And me....I think it looks like a Ginko Leaf |D

[Silvanon]

My pretty fishie 106 has the Fin Mark 2 :  http://genepool.freehostia.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=311

[Gene Pool]

*pokes self* I have you on the list as being owner of 106 for fin mark 2, I just looked at the wrong part of my list.. sera's 107 has fin SHAPE 2 and i put her in both slots cuz my eyes got confused

fixed!

[YourLoveOnly]

I want suggestions for mine! xD
*is uninspired at the moment*

[indigowulf]

Ravv, if you wish to name fin mark 3 now, go ahead. no 24 hour wait on that one for disputes, there's no disputing that 101 is the lowest possible mutation number

[Spixy]

Suggestions for body mark #5 please! XD

[TheLeet]

I'd be happy to take suggestions for mine too ^_^
I can't think of anything right now >.<

[indigowulf]

well, what i was calling them (partly what javen called them when templating them too) were, in order:
fade, belly, spots, stripes, speckles, dragon
stripetail, edgetail, tricolortail, spottail
royal, full, split, flair, smooth, spined, butterfly

however, i think my name were unoriginal mosty, which is why i put them up for you guys to name lol

[TheLeet]

I'd like to call my mutation "Emperor" please ^_^

[Kadana Sorano]

who has fish with body mark 6?  I'd like to see it in a few diff colors.  I was thinking of naming it Bloody Mary, but it's been pointed out it maybe looks diff in colored fishes, so yea lol I wanna see some more.

So if you have some, what numbers (or names if they have been named in the folder) so I can look them up please?

[red_uni387]

I think my 182 has body mark 6 ^^

[indigowulf]

lets see, examples of body mark 6, now conveniently searchable

111, 131, 182, 203, 215, 220 (kinda invis), 183, 196 (invisish), 239

[Ravvana]

Suggestions for mine? Here are some ideas (not final)...

Body Mark 2: Ventral Fade
Body Mark 4: Heavy Marble
Fin Mark 3: Double Fin Fade
Fin Mark 4: Marble Fin
Fin Shape 7: Butterfly

[Kadana Sorano]

ahh *goes to look* btw, how do I use the search feature?  As in, searching for certain body marks (since they are unnamed as yet) what would I enter in the search field?  Cause I entered "body mark 6" and got nothing lol so I assume I searched wrongly?

[indigowulf]

just enter the ID's of the fish listed above.
oh lord.. keywords for mutations.. at least that wont take as long as the name ones did!

[Kadana Sorano]

lol! no no!  I'm sorry sweety, I didn't mean for you to have more work, I misunderstood what you said.  I thought you meant, I could easily have found which had the mutation, by searching..   Oh gah!  I didn't want to cause more work for you *slinks away*

And fyi yes, I think bloody mary is a no go.. pondering centrifuge now.. but the deffinitiopn doesn't "quite" fit so hmm..

Edit: Fin shape #1.. hrmmmm *ponders Kadana's revenge*

hee it just looks so angry.. hrm.. decisions decisions..

[indigowulf]

lol kadanas revenge

its ok you didnt make more work for me, its something that will have to be done, but not til mutations are named, cuz ill be darned if im gonna keyword 150+ fish with a temp name then go back and re-do it.

[Ravvana]

I am so tempted to name at least one of mine "Ravvana Spots" or something XD Maybe "Ravvfeti" for Fin Mark 4?

[Kadana Sorano]

hehe ok then *huggles*

And yea, it looks about how I feel, when I have a migraine, and the kids won't STFU and leave me be.  yes yes, Kadana's Revenge sounds better and better lol  Assuming you don't mind me slipping my name in there rofl

And Ohh I love Ravvfeti! 

[Solistia]

If it helps any, Fin Shape 1 kinda reminds me of a king's crown? XD

[Yruvian]

Looking for help in naming mine as well. The only thing I can think of right now would be Fade as well...

[Ravvana]

I'll name mine Ventral Fade if you name yours Posterior Fade That would make a nice, logical pair.

[Yruvian]

I'll name mine Ventral Fade if you name yours Posterior Fade That would make a nice, logical pair.

Not a bad idea at all . I think I'll go with this.

[indigowulf]

So is that your final answer? So I know if I should edit it into the finalized post or not

[Ravvana]

Body Mark 2: Ventral Fade

Final answer on that one; now just to finalize my others XD

[Gene Pool]

well, all time to dispute having a lower ID then the ones posted has passed, everyone who has a fish above can name thier mutation

I'll give it til the 25th, then we put any unnamed ones to a public vote.

[Silvanon]

[YourLoveOnly]

[Gene Pool]

Updated the current list. Extending the time you have to name them until the 3rd of March- after that, the general fan population gets to name them!

[sera]

Yay, extensions are win. xD

i do love the idea of Ginko Leaf, so we'll go with that for Fin Shape 2. ^^

Randomly, for some strange reason, Shape 5 makes me think of a toupee.  *COUGHS* xD;

For the body mark 3, we'll go with Mizubuchi.  ^^

Thanks, indigo, this was fun! ^^

[Lectral]

Yay for the extension, been too busy to think of a proper name XD

Will have it done soon

[Lectral]
