About
I like to play with my own rules somewhat! This means that breeding slots are limited and I don't give them out to people freely. I'll go into detail how that workss further below.
Additionally, I use a different exp leveling system than the standard Loshenka leveling system. I am a very busy person and the traditional leveling system would actually kill me. Leveling is also explained below!
Leveling & Slots
These are the ranks I use. Any horse starts with 3 breeding slots, even without art created of them.
Any rank marked with a ✧ grants me +3 breeding slots, that I can choose to use or trade away.
The last rank, marked with a ★ grants that horse unlimited breeding slots.
Some ranks also earn additional rewards (this is still a work in progress, especially the badges).
As for counting exp points, I'm sticking with the standard way of doing so for now! This means that one shaded fullbody (11xp) is already enough to push a horse to the Quality rank.
Breeding Preferences
Generally I'll prefer to hand slots to people who have a similar playstyle to me. This means...
- People who stick closely to the official Loshenka design guide.
- Those who also like a little RNG in their breeding and don't tweak the outcome too much.
- People who keep track of their ponies somewhere public (toyhou.se, their own site, etc).
- And that's about it?
I don't mind what you do with your foal, I would just like to have a public link to them in order to keep track of my slots.
That being said, I definitely am not opposed to giving people that don't fit this criteria a slot! Especially not if I know you pretty well. I might just prioritize other people if you're a stranger.
One last note: I do not require breedpics of my horses. Once you got a slot you're free to just use it!
Personal Rules
Import & Breeding Limits
I also have some soft limits for how many horses I can breed / import per month or week!
- Breeding - 2 foals per week. Resets on sunday.
- Imports - 4 imports per month. Resets on the 1st of each month.
Obtaining horses through other means (trading/buying/adopting) doesn't count towards the limit. Nor do design trades.
This is mostly to discourage myself from going absolutely crazy designing for myself. I am allowed to ignore these limits if I feel really strongly about it.
Shownames
Shownames/Registry Names still require the horse to be "registered". This means drawing at least one colored headshot of that horse. If they have no artwork, no showname for them yet!
