        FULLY MATURE (also when they can mate)
        Males at 1 turn
        Greens at 1½ turns
        Golds at 2 turns


        chkfl -Shows the min. # of days untill the gold/green will go proddy.
        Proddiness lasts about 5RL days

        Requirements for your female to go proddy

        1) You must have an average active time of 6 hours/week for the past 4 weeks.
        2) The 'lizard in question must be either of the age to go proddy or 90 RL days must have passed since the last clutch. (See 'chkfl
        ', that handy verb, if you're unsure.)
        3)
        There must be 45 eggs or less on the MOO if there's more, no new 'lizards will go proddy.

        Plus, only one female 'lizard per alt goes proddy: if you've a gold, the gold will be the breeder; if you've one or more greens, the oldest green will be the breeder; if you've one female, well, that's the one.
        Only 6 firelizards will go proddy at a time. They stay proddy for 6 days; if you don't either @make-clutch
        or @skip-clutch their proddiness will just expire 6 RL days from when it started.

        The mentiom of The Red Star sends all flits in a room to the Endless beach (#416)

        allcall -Summons all your flits to you. And yes it does work with just one flit. I only have my little Fudge and it works just fine with him.

        For those of you who want to know what a flit can and can't do here's a few more pointers.

        Post-Hatching Sign - PLEASE READ (#3220)

        Below are some rules you'd be advised to follow once you impress a firelizard. Even if you've already impressed one, these are a few tips to make sure people don't get mad at you at every turn for something you're not really aware you might be doing that's irritating. Most people on the game adhere to these rules and expect you to as well.

        1) For at least the first 6 months of it's life, this little one will be your closest companion. During this time, unless something unusual happens to scare it, it is always with you. It won't go flitting about unless it can keep you in sight.

        2) Firelizards, once they start going places freely, will not go to a place they have never been unless it's to a common place fairs of them go together. For instance, your firelizard will not just blink into Ista's Living Cavern and gad about unless it is fairly familiar with the weyr. But it might be gathered on a beach it's never been with a hoard of the others. Remember, when a firelizard leaves you, it has a reason, it's startled or frightened or it's with the others it spends time with that live where you do. Also, it will not enter someone's private room unless they know them very well. It's like someone you don't even know walking right into your house and lounging in your bedroom, really bad form if you don't ask permission and recieve it or are invited.

        3) If your firelizard has not met someone and doesn't know them very well, they cannot join them. It doesn't know what to look for so it doesn't happen. For instance: Marri knows K'tar, Shinnai, and Rowan, she can find any one of these people and more because she knows them. Marri does not know Cadry, Lana or Milsa. No matter how much I desire her to go to any one of these people, it's not gonna happen and she's only going to become very upset.

        4) And last, but certainly not the least important. Your firelizard is not merely a puppet to spy. It is not a substitute for you going out to RP and is certainly not to be used to insert yourself into RP. People in a room can only see the actions a firelizard does, they cannot tell what it is thinking, nor does it talk to them. It flies flits, soars, swoops and does any number of other things, but it does not think, talk, nor anything even remotely connected to communication with anyone but you, and that only in fuzzy pictures and emotions.

        Many thanks to those who have posted to firelizard issues (*fl), the flit class, and to who created the sign.
