Here you can post questions, comments or concerns for the Global Mods. You can email us at lostislands.staff@gmail.com if the matter is private, though please let us know as this address is not checked daily. You are also welcome to @Global Mods in the Discord server, or message us privately, but please be patient if we are busy or not online.

This is where you need to post to officially put yourself on away. If you are going to be away from the site or unable to post regularly for an extended period of time, you may go on away for up to one month, during which your characters will be protected from things like battles, raids and escapes. After this you and your characters will be considered inactive, and you will need to rejoin should you return.

For the sake of clarity, please clearly state 'away' or 'semi-away' in the subject line of your post, and make a new post stating 'back' on your return. While you are away you cannot post in-character, and any in-character posts will be classed as you returning and your characters will no longer be protected from that point.

You may also let us know here that you are 'semi-away', meaning posts from you will be slow, but all normal rules still apply to you.

If you wish to quit the game, please leave us a message here to let us know, though be aware that any characters without lineage (i.e. those who were not born or bred in-game) will be deleted from the Members page. All other characters will be listed as inactive unless you request for them to be deleted.

Including the PATN genes when giving foal stats is something I brought up a while ago on the staff board, but we ended up agreeing to keep appaloosa genetics as simple as possible for the purposes of the game, given that they are hugely complex and still not well understood even by professionals. On top of that, a lot of players here do not include specific genetics for their appaloosas (not everyone has the privilege of being knowedgeable about them), so generally speaking what we try to do when giving out stats (or at least what I try to do) for appaloosa foals is not name a specific pattern if the parents' player doesn't name one (therefore leaving it up to the players' discretion), and if they do, the foal gets the same pattern as the parent (unless, for instance, the parent is homozygous and the foal is hetero, or vice versa). Obviously it's not a perfect system, but our own knowledge is not perfect either so mistakes do get made. I think this is something we the mods need to have another discussion about. I would be completely up for implementing more accurate appaloosa genetics, it's just that there is a rather large gulf of ignorance to tackle and I think we are wary of making things too complicated for the players to understand or enjoy.
