Since when can you be "too slow" stealing an egg!?

I see my first marlay EVER in the cave, and I don't have a name ready, so I spent less than five minutes hunting around for one to use. When I put in the name, it tells me I'm too slow and now the egg is gone!

AND I DON'T HAVE A MARLAY.

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS I AM SO ANGRY

@Silver_Winged: Being "too slow" is the way the site prevents overnighting since V2 came out. It really annoys me sometimes. >:C

I have a Marlay you can have if you want it. ^^

@pipkitten
I literally didn't have it sitting there for five minutes. :/ Ian should probably do something about the time limit for "too slow".

Thanks for offering, but I'd hate to take your hard-earned/found egg. I'm sure I'll find another eventually.

@Silver_Winged: That would be nice. I think it's somewhat randomized at the moment...

I have two, and I don't really need that many. You sure you don't want it?

@pipkitten
Well, I'll ping @Ian so he can maybe examine this issue.

Yeah, I'm sure, but thanks so much for offering. c: EggCave has so many nice people.

@Silver_Winged: Good idea. 😊

Heh, you're welcome~ 😸 I agree; there are a ton of nice people here! That's one of the big reasons I love this site so much.

@silver_winged

You can have mine. 😸
I already have one and this one I wasn't trying to get.

It happened with me several times before. It's not a new thing. Which is why instead of thinking up a good name when i find a creature in the Cave i want, I give them a random silly name then rename them later 😋

This happened to me with my before when flarens were realesed and meh first cave steal on trying to get a flaren, it popped up and said i was to slow >:/

I didn't know that could happen! Good to know...I'd hate to lose an LE or something (not that there are any out currently) because I was "too slow" thinking of a name!

You can always get a Marlay; don't fret. 😊
