chocobo insanity results

Yesh, I promised this ages ago. So here it is... the statistics for breeding chocobos. This is from a total of 25 attempts by 2 Great chocobo parents to make little chirpy things.

color ----- % chance
---------------------
green -------- 84%
blue --------- 16%


gender ----- % chance
---------------------
male --------- 12%
female ------- 88%


color/gender ----- % chance
----------------------------
green female -------- 80%
green male ---------- 4%
blue female --------- 8%
blue male ----------- 8%


This would explain why it is so darn hard to get a green male. A 4% chance?? YEAGH! And it also explains why you usually get green females. 80% chance. Yeesh. I always like getting a green male so I can call him Spike ;) after, of course, the notorious Spike Spiegel.


From a very short test with a Green Female and a Blue Male, I got one Black Male chocobo baby and one Black Female chocobo baby. So off that very short run, you could say you have a 50/50 chance to get a boy or a girl, and it will always be black.

I don't have the statistics worked out on paper for Gold parents. Doh! I tell you what... the downtime on Gold parents attempting to make a Gold baby is just thoroughly insane. I made six of the Gold chocobos mostly because I was obsessed with proving a rumor wasn't true. I'll list that rumor and the other one I blew out of the water here:

1) Beating Joe 100 times does NOT get you a Rainbow Chocobo as a prize from Joe
2) Six Gold chocobos each winning 30 S Class races won't give you a X Class chocobo (the rumor was probably fake anyways as it was hard to tell just what you were supposed to do... English wasn't the primary language of whoever wrote it)

whoever invented wallpaper should be shot

Wallpaper removal is a pain in the tush. Mom and I have gotten one wall in the guest room done, with help from some wallpaper remover stuff. There were two layers on most of the wall we've done so far, and there was actually a THIRD kind of wallpaper on one side. Geez... but then we already knew the previous owners of this house were complete lazy morons.

Kinda funny pulling strips of paper off a wall while listening to an old tape of tunes from Australia. Makes one all nostalgic and stuff ^_^ Methinks we will be working on that project (probably mostly me) for quite some time, plus I talked Dad into a very light purple shade of paint for the walls, and a darker purple for the trim / closet details... so it should look really cool by the time we're finally done with it.

This evening while watching The Three Musketeers (Michael York version), I got a new cover for my scrapbook done. I likesh it. Very manga Cowboy Bebopish... mostly because that's what it's made from =P

My fingernails hurt....
