Hello!

Thank you for the FAQs. I would like to ask a question about the bit about 'mining'. The way that it's worded seems to imply that this is slightly off behaviour, but I've been clicking all the eggs and hatchlings in signatures or Keeps because it seemed the right thing to do. (How could I choose who gets clicked and who doesn't?) Should I be more selective and only click a couple at a time?

Sorry to sound dense, but sometimes there's accepted practice that the newbies don't get. :P

It refers to using the image-free goldmines, which have hundreds of creatures in them. It takes time, and quite frankly some people's computers cannot handle the load, but requires very little effort on the part of the miner, unless you count the time they cannot do anything else. Also, keep mining is frowned upon-some people keep unfrozen hatchlings, and do not wish for them to be clicked. Anything in the click threads if encouraged, though.

If you're clicking on eggs in a keep, you click on the area that says 'unnamed' (or whatever name someone has given the creature, rather than the image.

I think it may be a bit more than this - I've also been clicking on my eggs/hatchies and the percentages are not moving. I can't see any comment about this anywhere else.
Thank you to everyone who gifted me :)

Can anyone help? I understand the concept of gold-mining now, however: I can't figure out the mechanics of actually doing it. I have installed Firefox, and Snaplinks, and Greasemonkey, and Closeit per the instructions in the 'main' image free mine. But I cant figure out what to do next - everything I try only opens 1 (one) link at a time.
