OH MY GOSH ITS 2015.
Still no hovercars, and the Jetson like ways to get around.

WINTER IMPORT SEASON IS NOW CLOSED.
- No more orders can come in. 

Thank you everyone. The Import season went very well!
Happy New Year from all of us here!




December 23rd - 2014 - TintedGreen

Just so you know, Winter import Season closes Jan 1st!
Get them while they're hot!





November 1st - 2014 -- Enharmonia

Enny here!

So, as you guys may know we've been busy fixing some issues within the group. The most important, though, will be this one, addressing some changes in the importing method.

Rather than all year, imports will be available twice a year: the Winter Imports, open throughout all the month of December, and the Summer Imports, open on June. All orders sent out of season will be either deleted or ignored.

Each admin has been given a max. of 10 Group imports + 3 Troubadours a year. That makes a total of 110 Group imports and 33 troubadours.

Keep an eye on group imports, stable sales and auctions! They will be available throughout all of the year, as well as some special foals to celebrate different holidays.

Thank you so much for reading, as always!

Hello everyone! this is a a PSA! For all you appaloosa breeders out there, hava a look at our new Leopard Complex/Appaloosa Sheet:
EB | Leopard Complex / Appaloosa Information Sheet by Fargonon

-------------

PLEASE READ!
Hey everybody! sorry for another update so soon!
But I've declided that there needs to be an organized way of listing the parentage of EB's. This will make it MUCH easier for breeding admins to check if a horse is related to the other, and for you as well to do the same thing. 
We all know this thing, right?:

                 ------------------------------------------ SSS: 
                 ----------------- SS: 
                 ------------------------------------------ SSD:
          ----{Sire: 
         |       ------------------------------------------ SDS: 
         |       ----------------- SD: 
         |       ------------------------------------------ SDD: 
HORSE NAME HERE
         |      ------------------------------------------ DSS: 
         |      ----------------- DS: 
         |      ------------------------------------------ DSD: 
          ----{Dam: 
                 ------------------------------------------ DDS: 
                 ----------------- DD:  
                 ------------------------------------------ DDD:  

I KNOW. It's intimidating! But it's quite easy when you know what it means.
S stands for Sire.
D stands for Dam.
So, how many S's and D's you have lets you know which horse it's talking about.
So, if you have SS, that's the sire's sire.So the Sire of your foal's Sire, or grandpa.
 SDS Is the Sire's Dam's Sire, or the sire of your foal's grandmother.
And then you get into crazy things like SSDSDS which is the sire's sire's dam's sire's dam's sire.
But I haven't seen an EB with a lineage that long, so it's okay.
If you don't want to use that thing, use this!

                Sire's Dam:
Sire:
                Sire's Sire:

SDS:
SDD:

            Dam's Sire:
Dam:
            Dam's Dam:

DSS:
DSD:

IF YOU NEED HELP: let me know! Send a note to the group titled 'Lineage' and state which form you'd rather use. We;ll call the first one '1' and the second one '2.' Then I'll write up the chart for you.
Thank you all!

Hey everyone!
Quick note: Please remember to put ID numbers in front of the name in the title of your horse's reference. please also remember to do it in EXACTLY this format: F-000. Not F - 000 or F- 0 0 0 or F - 0 0 0. I know that for me, when I look for a horse's reference, I go to the search bar and type 'F-000'. This brings up both the Design Sheet and reference of the horse, if drawn, and if the ID number is in that form.
So please, and thank you!

June 7th - 2014 -- Shinju-Tsukuda

Hey Guy!its Shin here just wanted to tell you guys that we are going to close Breeding for 2 weeks so we can sort through the old ID list and update them till we get to the current ones since there are so much of them at the moment and we are short of staff. I hope you guys understand and please bare with us while we get this done.


NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANYMORE BREEDING NOTE UNTIL THEY ARE OPEN AGAIN IN 2 WEEKS! WE WILL IGNORE YOUR BREEDING NOTE IF YOU SEND IT IN AFTER THIS JOURNAL.


Thank you everyone and I hope you guys have a fine day!

June 1st - 2014 -- TintedGreen

Hello again. :)

Some of you may have noticed that we have been going through and checking the ID lists for all Undrawn/unreffed EB's.
We do not check the activity of already drawn/reffed Eb's, Just those who are still a Import/custom sheet or a Design Holder. 
You can throw up a Temp Ref (headshot minimum) and that will be perfect.

We are only checking the Design Holders that are over a month old.
Breeding notes that are over a month old. 
As well as Import/Custom sheets that are over the time frame listed on the sheet (some vary in designers, thats why)

AFTER all of this has been completed - we will be hosting a sale barn again for those unwanted or abandoned EB's
So breeding notes may be slow while we try to update everything.


Thank you everyone!


May 15th - 2014 -- Fargonon

Hello everyone!
Just a quick update today: When you send in a foal design, please make sure to supply all of the following information:
(Link to Sire)              (Link to Dam)
(Sire Genotype)   x   (Dam Genotype)
(Sire Type)                (Dam Type)

Also, please keep in mind that the breeding admins are the ones that roll possibilities for crossbreeds!

Thank you!

Thank you!

-- A Friendly Reminder about Foal Designs
I been noticing that some of our members are either missing or not correctly following the designs regards the Desert Eb markings. I know sometimes when we design we may forget a few here or there but please remember to check one last time before you submit them to the group, as it will help us get your foals register much faster and and less hassle on both for you and for the admins.

Remember to link the breeding note and both sire and dam link in your description too! :)

-- Other News and Reminders
Also you may have notice it has been a bit slow for the past few days to get your stuff into the group, please bare with us as our admins are having to deal with RL issues at the moment and won't be on as much as we usually are!

Please remember to breed at a stead pace and to follow the format use to send in the breeding notes! If you have any questions send in a note with the subject that you want to ask and we will try and get back to you ASAP.

Thats all for now, I hope you guys have a wonderful day!

-Shin

April 15th - 2014 -- Shinju-Tsukuda posting this for ValiantShadow

Hey guys,

Just a friendly reminder: if you have an unanswered breeding note in the works, please do not send another note until the first note is answered.

Please do not draw your EB until the foal design is accepted into the group.  If there are changes that need to be made before the design can be accepted, all of your artwork will be invalidated, so it's best to wait.

Also, we're doing a major overhaul of the breeding system soon.  Please bear with us while we get everything done.

Thank you for reading!

MARCH 29th - 2014 -- TintedGreen

-- Regarding B-ID's If you still have not received an ID from posting on the B-ID journals - Please note the group with a link to the EB and Title it "ID".

This is for the EB's that were Prior to the new Breeding system/foal lines update. AS WELL AS Dream EB Contest ponies that are still ID-less

IF you have an ID already please disreguard this :D

thank you!

:new:Introducing the Foal Lineart:new:
March 16th - 2014 - By Enharmonia

Change In Pricing for Imports/Customs
March 10th - 2014 - Fargonon

Hello everyone! 
We administrators have been talking extensively about this subject, and we've come to a conclusion. Import and Custom prices will vary depending on which designer you choose. This means that designers will now be able to pick their own prices for their work. 
Now, I realize this may be a slightly unpopular opinion since it means some prices will sureley rise. But just remember that we take a LOT of time and care for these designs, and some of them just are worth more than $3/300 points and so on. 
    We hope you all can understand, and thank you all for being such an awesome community!

A Few Breeding/ID Alterations
March 9th - 2014 - By pony-bones

In order to streamline everything, there are two changes going to be made to how foal designs are accepted, and how you get IDs.

• When you post a foal design, LINK to the note url in the artist comments, so we can access it quickly in the case of any mistakes. Any submitted foals without this link will not be accepted, until the link is present.

• When you send a breeding note, include the amount of foals you intend to breed between the two. REMEMBER - twins are rare, but if you breed the same parents twice, you can use the same genotypes/phenotypes that an administrator gives you.

You will get an ID for the number of foals you put in.

So if you are saying you are breeding for two foals, the administrator will give you two open IDs then and there, and a notation will be put down in the journal. You then hold on to that ID for a month before it is taken away. Meaning you have a month to get some sort of design submitted.

If you have horses without IDs so far, then continue to link them on the ID journal, but all breedings from this point on will go in this way.

Welcome the News Journal
February, 26th - 2014 - By Enharmonia

Hey there guys. As you can see, the staff and I have decided to introduce this new 'function' with the purpose of transmitting changes and whatnot in an easier way to you. Please keep track of this, since most of the important stuff will be posted here!

For now, don't forget to check our Rulebook, as well as remembering the following changes:

Bulletgold by Wooded-Wolf The traits system has been removed from CUSTOM orders. Imports keep it.
Bulletgold by Wooded-Wolf Dominant Whites, as well as Pitch Blacks aren't allowed for ordering. Only available if you choose to have a pattern/mutation to go along with it, having its Rarity lowered from +10 to +2.
