= Breeding Questions & Suggestions Board =
If your question/suggestion concerns CUSTOMS or is GENERAL, follow the appropriate link to their dedicated threads.
Short first post, but pretty simple thread. Basically, what this is is a feedback and suggestion thread specifically relating to Soquili breedings. If there's something that you want to suggest be changed, added, or considered, then feel free to post it here. Please remember that this is literally just that, a suggestion board, so the more detailed the suggestion, the more likely it will be to potentially be used.
This board is for, but not limited to: • General questions related to Soquili Breeding • Confusion or concerns about existing breeding rules • Suggestions for new breeding rules • Suggestions for old breeding rules that are outdated and should be considered for updating or removal
Things that do *not* belong on this board: • Drama. This is not a personal complaints thread - please contact the Soquili mule or one of the managers • Comments without any reasoning. "Male Soquili should be able to breed again right away." Is a comment. "I think we should be able to breed male Soquili immeadiately after having foals because the stallions don't actually have to carry the foals or suffer any physical strain and therefore could theoretically breed again immeadiately" provides the suggestion and the reason suggested, which might not otherwise be known. Provide your reasoning!
Too shy to post in public? You can PM the Soquili mule, or kaliskanny and Felmino directly if you have private concerns.

One thing that has kinda been nagging on my mind was looking at the history of the parents. I know it's difficult to hunt down ALL the parents, that's kind of insane.... but could also try and look into at least a little on what breeds the parents/ancestors were in the past.
I know it's been done before, but really haven't seen it more recently and don't know if it is taken into consideration in the current "rolling" system taking place. Of course, I could be just talking to myself and this is actually BEING done.
But what I mean is looking past JUST the parents for breed traits. For example, I know Icarus has kelpi-uni, alicorn, unicorn, and fluttercorn, in his "blood" (geez, boy, I almost want to put 'regular'...he's got everything else >.< ), some of those are pretty reoccuring themes, too. But I think that the past generations should at least be considered in the "rolls", even though I know they are supposed to be 'rarer', etc.
I remember this being done in the past, as mentioned. Would kind of be interested in seeing it 'revived', per say.
((*coughs* Also, this would apply to 'regular' as well))
If there is a time issue, I do volunteer my own to help the colorists hunt down past generations, etc. I really do feel that this should at least be addressed considering how big the generation numbers are getting.

Silent Spy Also, I will throw in my own concern about a current rule: - PersonA and PersonB have a pair in a raffle together. PersonA enters and wins. - PersonA may no longer enter in any more raffles, but may still be entered. - PersonB, however, can enter or be entered. I find this situation unfair to PersonA. I don't see why who entered the winning pair matters so much. I think it would be more fair if PersonA could enter or be entered, just like PersonB. PersonA and PersonB both won the raffle, why would one have more restrictions set than the other? They both won. I believe I know why this is the case. If you might recall pre-June 07 (or was June the last month?) all the breedings were at the same time - and you could only enter one pair yourself. So, when the colorists were allowed to have their own breeding raffles, this rule still applied.
If PersonA were to enter another pair in another raffle that same month after entering a pair that won, it is the equivalent of them entering 2 pairs "in the same raffle".
And on that, note, someone could then potentially enter two pairs themselves in which they are the sole owner - and now they had actually entered 4 soquili. I don't know if that actually matters but just another thing that would have to be taken into consideration.
((I did edit... the two errors made me want to cry ^^; It's getting late.... XD ))

Going off of what Meeki was saying - I was thinking about it and was thinking this:
The biggest breakdown I see with that rule is that what is the difference between a friend who you co-own a soquili with using their breeding right to the soquili and gifting you with a basket and that friend gifting you with a basket from a soquili who you don't co-own.
In other words, if it's how Meeki's suggesting, then literally the only restriction on who you could give a basket to would be it can't be the other co-owner, which is a little weird.
Maybe, and this is a little more restrictive, but might be more streamlined in the long run if there are going to be restrictions at all (and I don't think that there needs to be, really) - is say that no one can receive more than two baskets a month from a breeding raffle - whether or not one of their soquili was a parent. This wouldn't count bribe breedings or Sirenz' RL breedings where you can get more than two slots at a time, but would count RP contests for a basket from a breeding raffle, etc.
That way, if a co-owner who wins a raffle decides to gift you with a basket from a successful breeding, and you've already won a different raffle that month, if you decide to still enter your second pair that month in another raffle and happen be lucky enough to win, you couldn't keep a basket because you've already got 2 that month.
So it would be more of an after the fact "counting" towards your breeding limit, than necessarily your entry limit.
Optionally, this might be able to negate the whole 'only involved in two pairs' at a time rule, and just make it so each person can only post one entry form themselves, and only keep two baskets total that month. *shrugs* Just tossing out some ideas.
