1. What are your general thoughts on this topic? Do you feel as though the current system is fair and balanced? I did not know how it worked before now. I do not think it's totally fair. Those that do not participate in contests for perks should still have a chance for twins.
2. Do you feel as though it would be fair to limit the number of twins dibs to one per season? This would leave the second pair of twins to be rolled naturally. I think Twin Dibs should stand separate from the overall site limit, but maybe the site limit should be reduced to one. However, of the listed options, I like this one the best.
3. Do you feel that it would be beneficial to raise the maximum number of twins per season to three? If we did so, the third twin would not be given out until the season mid-point and would be naturally rolled only. If so, how would you balance the rarity?
-Include the possibility of death for the mare and/or foals? This would require players to intentionally opt-in when requesting foal stats.
-We considered basing the third as being dependent on the total number of breedings per season. However, the fear is that this would inadvertently encourage players to breed foals they don't intend to keep or play.
See above. I don't like waiting until mid-season for the possibility of a twin roll because that's not fair to those who posted earlier in the season. I don't know how, but the roll should be made rare enough somehow that it's somewhat unlikely to happen at all during a season. As far as death of characters, I think that should be up to the player always. Let us live in our bubble if we want to.
4. Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions not covered by the above points?
Just reiterating that I'd rather see Twin Dibs stand alone to be used whenever the perk holder feels like it, and that the yearly limit be reduced to one as a very rare natural roll.
Topic 2 1. Do you think the way away protection currently works is fair? Are there any changes you would like to see? I'd rather see the system stay the same than change it. But this is coming from a frequent flyer with only one territory.
Which (if any) of the above solutions seem the most fair to you? Or do you have your own idea?
There should be some sort of limit in a year, like how PTO works at work.
I do not like a required number of posts, as this invites spam posts. I also think that the requirement that every week you are away you must be active for that long before you can go on away again is difficult because you can't really control what's going on irl that may require you to go on away before you've met your limit.
I think considerations should be made for how many territories a given player is holding up. It should be easier to keep one than it is to keep two.
