As always when there’s a new Haven system, I need t e s t s because I am top scientist.

In particular, the following needs to be tested:
- Speed, efficiency and user-friendliness of new system.
- “Goldilocks formulae” on likelihood of acquiring multiples, powers, traits etc. Because of the way Haven has been recoded, it wasn’t possible to keep the same chances of inheriting various things. In most cases I erred on the side of making things more common instead of rarer, but it may be that they are now too common and the generators are too generous. I need large numbers of tests to determine whether frequency of such things is “just right”.
- Presence of carrier genes and how they interact with the system.
- Whether additional factors need to be taken into consideration, e.g. curses/blessings and inbreeding were removed from Haven 5.0 and may need to be put back in.

Ultimately the goal with Haven has always been to create unique and interesting baby stats which then provide a good foundation/inspiration for players to build on, so that’s the main thing we need to test.

Sooooo here’s what you can do to help! I am issuing the Babymakers Challenge as a fun way to try and get feedback on the system. The Babymakers Challenge does not involve you actually making babies that you then have to play; it’s all “just for fun” and hypothetical. Post your challenges under this thread and then claim the prizes on the updates board.

The rules:
- You can request stats with any characters, including other people’s characters, made-up characters, plot characters (like Omni), deities etc.
- If the genetics are not yet in the DB, please provide genetics in your post when breeding.
- You don’t have to be staff to post stats; anyone can generate stats. However, you can’t generate stats for yourself, only for other people!
- You can use any shop items or request any additional extras you like.
- Challenges can’t be ‘overlapped’, so you can’t claim multiple challenges for the same breeding/stat giving.
- Please mark your posts clearly based on whether they are requesting stats, generating stats or giving feedback.

Babymakers Challenge
Challenges:
1. Post requesting for stats between 2 existing opposite-sex characters on the site.
2. Post requesting for stats between 2 existing same-sex characters on the site.
3. Post requesting for stats using a deity or plot character.
4. Post requesting for stats with at least one parent as ‘unknown’.
5. Post requesting for stats using an Orphan Child, Baby Coupon, Born With Familiar or Litter item/
6. Post requesting for stats with 2 characters you do not play.
7. Post requesting for stats with the most unlikely pairing you can think of.
8. Post requesting for stats with the pair of characters (your own or others) who you think are most likely to end up actually requesting stats next on Haven.
9. Post requesting for stats with 2 characters who have completely opposite appearances.
10. Post requesting for stats for 2 characters who “should have been” but never were.
11. Generate multiples for another player.
12. Generate a demigod for another player.
13. Generate a baby who is level 3 or higher for another player.
14. Generate a baby with a rare hair colour (black, auburn, blonde, strawberry blonde, red) for another player.
15. Generate a baby with a rare eye colour (black, amber, green, hazel, blue/grey) for another player.
16. Generate a personality as part of your stats for another player.
17. Create the funkiest ‘Baby Coupon’ stats you can think of for another player.
18. Create the weirdest ‘Orphan Child’ backstory you can think of for another player.
19. Generate a baby who has at least 3 carrier genes (can include twin gene and predispositions) for another player.
20. Generate a baby who has inherited something from a grandparent for another player.
21. After you have generated 5 sets of stats, provide feedback on the speed, efficiency and user-friendliness of the new system.
22. After you have generated 5 sets of stats, provide feedback on the carrier genetics aspect of the system.
23. After you have generated 5 sets of stats, provide feedback on whether you think any additional factors need to be taken into consideration.
24. After you have generated 10 sets of stats, provide feedback on whether you think multiples, powers etc are too common/too rare/just right.
25. Suggest 2+ new physical/neuro differences/disabilities not already in the system (see below for links).

List of physical/neuro differences/disabilities already in the system: mild differences, moderate differences, severe disabilities, mental health conditions.
* I'm particularly interested in genetic variations/mutations which would not necessarily be classed as disabilities, and some of which would count as advantages in life (see 'sports gene' and other such examples under mild differences). All suggestions should be real differences/disabilities seen in humans, not made-up/magical ones.
