Well, from the rules right now, the custom cooldown time =/= the breeding cooldown time. Which is kind of confusing, since for the longest time people thought that they were the same.
When it was brought up in thread about it being two months in between or two months in general, Beejoux asked Sisi and after that posted that Sisi looked at it and said it was supposed to be equal to the breeding rule.
I got rid of the new staff idea XD i don't know if i put it on the first post anymore though o.o Though I said it would also be nice where the colorists had a 'break' month where all they would do would make sure that the lists are okay. They'd have the options of picking breedings for the MCCL or using their staff credits, but nothing they would really 'have' to color. C:
