2 cents? More like one with my braincell. Posted on July 2, 2024 at 01:23:56 AM by Reba
TOPIC ONE - Twins Dibs 1. What are your general thoughts on this topic? Do you feel as though the current system is fair and balanced? See below, it definitely feels less random than it should.
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. Twin dibs have always been a bit of an issue, because yes they take away the randomness that occurs in nature. I like the idea of not allowing every twin set to be claimed.
2. 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? Considering how rare twins are naturally, raising the number might be a problem unless it's a particularly prolific season.
3. Include the possibility of death for the mare and/or foals? This would require players to intentionally opt-in when requesting foal stats. It's certainly a thought to allow more than two twin rolls, but for any after two the player simply gets two different stat sets to pick from. With the other foal being reabsorbed, as happens fairly commonly. Risk of death is higher in nature, but unfortunately a lot of us are attached to our characters <3
4. 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. This might definitely happen, just as any time-based limitations may encourage people to wait to post stats.
5. Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions not covered by the above points? See #3, we could offer more than two twin rolls but any after two are simply a player choice between two different possible foals.
TOPIC TWO - Away Protection
1. Do you think the way away protection currently works is fair? Are there any changes you would like to see? It most definitely is not, cause there's always been a couple territories at a time where the lead(s) seem to be inactive but there's no way to counter it and allow another to step in and bring new life to the place.
2. Which (if any) of the above solutions seem the most fair to you? Or do you have your own idea? I think either keeping track of time away within a TLI year or requiring activity before any further aways seems most fair.
If there's a legimitimate IRL issue keeping people away, something can always be worked out <3 Replies:
