It's really sweet Ghosthande, because a minute ago, Ghosthande M is lurking at the spot where she died, near the C12DS portal - would take a picture but he's moved now. :P

Thanks Malkin. :)

Good evening all. :)

Since I updated last we’ve had some sadness and gladness. First the sadness – there’s been two more deaths:

Amy

Amy was always quite distant from the rest of the group, I found. Let’s hope she has plenty of company up in Silicon Heaven. :)

Melody M

If it’s any consolation Melody, he reached a ripe old age.

Now for the gladness. :) As always with death comes some new lives...

The New Additions

April

She now an adult, she’s generation 2 and her parents are AquaShee F and Ghosthande M. If her mother was AquaShee F, her egg must’ve been one of the ones underneath the incubator. AquaShee – AquaShee F’s legacy lives on! ;)

Alex

He’s generation 2 and his parents are Ghosthande F and Arnout M. Ghosthande – your girl’s legacy lives on too. :)

What are the Norns up to this fine evening, I wonder?

As it stands currently, there are only 11 surviving Norns left, out of the original 18 generation 1 creatures – C-Rex F, C-Rex M, Melody F, Christine M, Christine F, Arnout M, Arnout F, Scoota94 F, AquaShee M, Agentrok M and Ghosthande M.

It’s getting really difficult to distinguish which Norn is which now, when they’re all huddled in groups, but I’ll try my best. Just bear with me. :P

From what I can make out, huddled in one group are Adam, AquaShee M, Scoota94 F, Ghosthande M and C-Rex M. Maybe they’re having an early Christmas party! Scoota94 F, AquaShee M and Ghosthande M are ancient by now, but they still know how to have fun!


Nearby are Arnout M, Axel and April. Arnout M and Axel appear to be raiding the refrigerator, whilst April is backing away slowly. Maybe she knows better than to disturb them when they’re stuffing their faces. ;)


On the edge of the garden, Albus, Arnout F, Alice, Abby, Christine F and Christine M are just chillin’ with the carrots. Alice is so chilled that she’s asleep look. :P


Here’s Melody F... Sleeping. Maybe she didn’t fancy joining in the festivities in the kitchen.


The ‘lads’, Alex and Aaron are hanging out by the bee hives. That seems to be a popular spot for the young ‘uns in Christmas Town, most seem to end up being there. Sugar highs on honey must be rife! Note how Aaron is blocking our view of Alex. What a camera hog.

Aaron to the camera: ‘No! No! Don’t look at him! Look at me! Look at me!;)


C-Rex F is next to a trail of sunflower seeds, how exciting. Either she’s going to eat them, or she’s going to follow them so that she can find her way back home to the kitchen. Let’s hope she doesn’t come across any suspicious-looking gingerbread houses on her way. ;)


That cool dude, Eem Foo, is having a quiet moment to himself by the lemon trellis. Maybe he’s reflecting on life.


Agentrok M is still in the Norn Meso. I feel quite sad really, he’s been there an awful long time. I don’t think he’ll ever leave there, to be honest. I wonder what’s got him staring in awe?

Maybe Agentrok M just has a fixation with Bramboo? :P Or maybe he's going a bit senile in his endearing old age - he is an Ancient, after all. ;) There's always his offspring, Abby - pin your hopes on her?

Day Three


Welcome to Day Three. Sorry the updates are few and far between today!

Firstly, the sad matter of the latest deaths (There’s so many departures and arrivals that I’ll write the main update in another post):

Abby


Unnamed Creature

He was just a child, generation 2 and his parents were C-Rex F and AquaShee M.

Scoota94 F

Sadly, you can’t see her in this picture.

Christine M

Well, at least he died happy, and standing up?! :P With Christine F by his side it looks like. :)

Ghosthande M


Melody F


Agentrok M

I knew he’d live out the rest of his days in the Meso.

Arnout M


C-Rex F


Christine F

Aw. Maybe she died of a broken heart? She and Christine M always appeared to be close.

AquaShee M


C-Rex M


Arnout F


Unnamed Creature

He lived to be an adolescent, generation 2 and his parents were Scoota94 F and Christine M. He’s joined his parents now. I’m also a bit concerned that there’s a Norn who’s still alive stuck behind him, and they both appear to have got stuck in the wall?! It’s a shame I’m not allowed to intervene in these Norns’ lives. :(

It was inevitable, but every one of the original, generation 1 team members have departed from this Wolfling Run. But they did well didn’t they? :D And now they live on in the lives of their offspring! They all shall be dearly missed.

Don’t forget that you can still pick up their baby EXP files from the adoption section!

The New Additions

Amelia

She’s a baby, generation 2 and her parents are Christine F and Christine M – a purebred Santa Norn then!

Apple (Yeah, okay, I’m running out of ‘A’ names, because we haven’t had any gen 3 Norns born so far!)

Isn’t she the splitting image of the late Amy? She’s adolescent, generation 2 and her parents are C-Rex F and Agentrok M.

Apricot (Yep, I’ve resorted to giving them fruit names)

She’s a youth, generation 2 and her parents are Arnout F and Melody M.

Abigail

She’s also a youth, generation 2 and her parents are Scoota94 F and Ghosthande M.

Alicia

Youth, generation 2 and her parents are Arnout F and Melody M. Melody M was busy!

Alesha

Baby, gen 2 and her parents are Scoota94 F and Arnout M.

Anna

Baby, gen 2 and her parents are Christine F and Agentrok M.

Abacus

Baby, gen 2 and his parents are Scoota94 F and Christine M.

Alfie

Adult, gen 2 and his parents are Arnout F and Ghosthande M.

Aidan

Adult, gen 2 and his parents are Agentrok F and Agentrok M! Another purebred Norn. :)

Alec

Adult, gen 2 and his parents are Eem Foo (obviously) and C-Rex F.

Albert

Baby, gen 2 and his parents are Christine F and Christine M.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST GENERATION 3 NORN! :D

Becky

Baby (just been born whilst I was writing this), GEN 3 :D and her parents are... *Drum roll* Apple and Eem Foo!

Adrian

Adult, gen 2 and his parents are Christine F and Christine M. Those two mated together a lot. :O Talk about commitment – and I thought Norns weren’t big on fidelity.

Alan

Youth, gen 2 and his parents are Christine F and Scoota94 M.

Abe

Baby, gen 2 and his parents are AquaShee F and Arnout M.

Sorry, that this is the only update of the day so far, I’ve been busy, what with Christmas and all, plus I start work very soon, but you’ll get a proper update later tonight. The world seems to be overtaken with the second generation, and the deaths and births are coming in quick succession!

Day Four

Morning! :) First of all, sorry about the lack of updates yesterday (I hope I’m forgiven ;)) but here’s a proper update like I promised. Here are the latest deaths, the second generation are dropping like flies now:

Unnamed Creature

Aw. I liked the look of this Norn, he had an unusually long neck, reminded me of the giraffe. :P He died at youth, was gen 2, and his parents are Arnout F and Agentrok M.

Adam


Alice


Abigail


Alesha


Anna

How did she get all the way over to the island!?

And... The New Additions

We have our second gen 3 Norn. :)

Bea

Another girl. Her parents are Alicia and Aaron.

Now, let’s see what the new kids on the block are getting up to...

Adrian is stealing eggs. ;) Bad Santa, that’s not in the spirit of Christmas!


Albert is just relaxing, waiting for the cable car.


Albus, Alan, Axel and Amelia are huddled in the garden. I wonder what they’re crowded around... Something secretive... Amelia’s cheeky grin says it all... Very suspicious... Maybe it’s a surprise Christmas present for me, their ever-loving Hand? ;)


Amelia just bored by the others moved up to the learning computer to join Alfie. Look at how Alfie is gazing at her – is another romance in the air? :P


Apple, Aaron, Alicia and Abacus are all by the bee hives. That’s proved to be a popular hot spot. I spy an egg too.


The amount of eggs from before went right down, as the new gen 2 Norns began to hatch out, only for them to pile up again with new gen 3 eggs!



April, Apricot and Alec are chillin’ in da kitchen, April and Apricot posing very nicely for the camera whilst Alec isn’t that bothered, snoozing.


Becky and Abe appear to be childminding baby Bea. Maybe they’ll take her for a ride in the cable car and show her the sights of C12DS Albia – I hear there are some pretty stunning views from the air!


Alex is keeping old-timer Eem Foo (what a legend) company over the sunflower seeds. I wonder what they’re chatting about?

welcome back to the final round up of laura's christmas 2009 wolfling run! i'm your special guest correspondent, christine. due to unforeseen circumstances, laura is unable to provide a full wolfling run conclusion, so instead keeping you waiting, she's trusted the finalists to me, so i can pass along the results to you folks!

unfortunately, due to docking station erasing the creatures' history on import, i'm unable to see which norns were parented by whom. if anyone can direct me to an agent or tool that will allow me to bypass the clone on import, i'll be glad to update again with the full genealogy of all the finalists :) i'm sure you can hazard a guess as it is. i'll be counting the winners by the heads of each norn, to keep things simple.

first, the last of the sad news: the final casualties of the wolfling run.

alicia passed away near the beehives, near a host of eggs. she appears to have lived a very social life.


RIP alicia.


the second and final passing is axel. axel sure seems content! isn't a long and happy life all we can ask for for our norns?


RIP axel.


now the happy news! there are a number of new arrivals, produced from the final clearing of the unhatched eggs under the incubator. everyone say hello to:


alberto!


arnax!


arnie!


ascan!


bali!


bastien!


bartholemew!


benkey!


benny!


benson!


bernice!


bertha!


bisquit!


bob!


boink!


bolt!


boots!


brutus!


bubba!


cam!

aaaaaaand finally!

chad!


in alphabetical order. generation denoted by the name... second generation norns have A names, third generation norns are B names, and 4th generation are C names.

as you can see, eem foo certainly had his influence in there ;)

and what's this? a christmas surprise? after i imported amelia, the familiar little egg icon popped up. it seems she was pregnant! let's welcome burton, the very last birth of this christmas wolfling run, and such a sweet little surprise :)



as always, all norns are available to download in the adoptions section. i've split them up by new arrivals and survivors, as well as my male and female of those two groups.

now, for the moment you've all been waiting for... drumroll please... the final tallies of wolfling run survivors, including those that are newly hatched, in ascending order:

forest norns: 1 remaining!
banana norns: 3 remaining!
bengal, ron, pixie and dodgy: 4 remaining!
horse: 5 remaining!
santa: 6 remaining!

and the grand prize, kisspoppingist, egg layingist, survivingist ultimate christmas wolfling run winning breed is...

the purple mountain norns, with a whopping 9 remaining! congrats, aquashee! you should be proud of your prolific progeny.

here's the whole brood near the hearth!



i hope you all enjoyed the wolfling run wrap up :) many thanks to laura for hosting the run (i never realized what a pain those screen caps are!) and i hope everyone has a merry, healthy, wonderful christmas.

I hereby crown you the Christmas C12DS Wolfling Run Champion of 2009! :P

Thank you very much Christine for taking over the fort for this final update, cheers mate. :) Sorry to you all that I didn't write this post myself, but I'm having some family issues at the moment (on Christmas Eve of all days :() and so I wasn't in the mood to - but Christine kindly stepped in, and I think she did well! I couldn't have done better myself.

And thank you to everyone who took part, and also to those who supported, I hope you all enjoyed it, and have a merry Christmas tomorrow!

The Xmas WR Survivors and New Arrivals will be in the adoption section soon. :)

Thank you, Laura, for hosting this great Wolfling Run! Looking at the forums, I see you have inspired a lot of people to run their own runs now. Their runs won't be as epic as yours though. ;)
