Hey guys, giving you all another update in which a few misconceptions regarding aspects of breeding will be clarified so that everyone is on the same page. Some of these have been issues that popped up lately and I don't want people to get wrong information from somewhere.
- In regards to user-submitted offspring, whereas we do use them pretty much consistently for all pairings that have edits to them, if you are submitting your own offspring for two same-lineart pets, or for two site-pets in a pair, please be aware that your possibilities may not always be used for the breeding. Sometimes Slash will pick up breedings that are simple and only require overlays or filters to create. For those that don't like this method, please remember that this is originally how baby-making was done for two identical-lined pets when the site first began. We have improved the system on how artists make offspring for any pairs that have edits, but we are not required to use any user-submitted babies. It simply aids in making the process easier, and we do try to use the majority submitted.
- In regards to asking others to make your user-submitted offspring, you may not, under any circumstances, ask for payment for this service (or offer it out) in BP, GP, items, or otherwise, publicly on the forums.
- In regards to engagement rings, I want to state that engagement rings were meant to ensure that you get an extra offspring. Some users have the misconception that each time you breed two married pets that you automatically will get 3+ babies from it. For LBC breedings and hybrid breedings alike, it ensures that you will always get at least two -- you may not always get three or more! Remember that the minimum number for all breedings is one offspring, so all the engagement ring does is guarantee that you will get at least two.
Thanks everyone! I hope this was clear and concise in explanation.

So also feel free to publicly ask any questions you'd like or even make suggestions to other things you'd like to see in the guide in case i've forgot anything.

I hope it will be expanded as to /why/ the second bit isn't allowed.

I don't see why you can't pay someone as a thank you for taking the time to do your predicts. I get that you can't demand it, but rewarding it?

Hurf, thanks for fixing my apparent lack of remembering line breaks. xD

I'm not complaining or anything, but am merely curious - why can a person not offer pup predicts for payment, or offer money for them? Also, is it along the same lines as offering premium to buy things - as in, can't be done on the forum, but a deal can be negotiated privately through pm? Thanks :)

Making offspring is something that site artists are supposed to do, so volunteering yourself is just that -- voluntary, and so you can't ask for payment for something like that.

So if someone didn't ask you for payment, but you want to give them items or BP anyway, you're not allowed to?

So, what happens if your pets "roll" a number and would get 4 babies (if they weren't married) but what happens if they are married? Do they get 5?

On the subject of asking payments for baby predicts... would saying "I don't want to do predicts unless I am also getting a baby" cross the line?

This will all be in the breeding guide posted tomorrow.
