Search Options ►New Articles Appear, and Predicts!
Site Update
It seems we have a few new articles to release in the Knowledge Base! Thanks to the combined effort of staff, including Mauri #1010, Graymare #14978, and Frey #90, we bring you the Breeding Predict Guides!
With so much information to account for, we went ahead and split it into two articles for your viewing pleasure!
- The Basics of User Predicts details how breeding predicts work, from the number required to percentages and much more.
- Rules for Submitting User Predictions is a more in-depth article that lays out user prediction rules with visual examples, tips and tricks, and a section for Rejections.
These two articles were key to release first in order to roll out the second part of this newspost... Radioactive Breeding Coin and Derp Breeding Coin predicts!
That's right, as of this newspost we will be allowing predicts for RBC/Derp coins! If you read the above articles you will see proper ways of submitting predicts for both of these coins. RBC in particular has some unique rules so be sure you are aware of them before you submit.
I also wanted to direct everyone's attention to this little gem on your submitted breedings list...
Some of you may remember that this exists, some may not. This is a box that, ideally, would allow you to put notes about your breeding for artists to see. We are going to also release this feature formally for users to use in their breedings! However, please keep the following in mind:
- You MAY NOT use the feature to bash artists, make extreme demands, or otherwise break the TOS. This feature is meant to make SUGGESTIONS ONLY to the artist about your breeding and is only that -- a suggestion. The artist can take them as they will based on interpretation if you decide to submit one!
- Any breeding rules apply as well, and you cannot use it to step around said rules. Any infractions of this or the above point will potentially mean reminders, warnings, or breeding bans.
- You cannot use the feature to request a specific artist unless you are using an artist ticket/speedy breeding ticket. You cannot also request the amount of babies you want done, the species you want done, etc (such as with Embryo breedings -- you can't say 'I want a Kyre!' since it's rolled randomly).
A few good examples of what we are allowing for these notes:
"I'd really like to see the wings from the Melo and the swirls from the Reve exemplified in the Griffin offspring, if possible!"
"I don't really want excessive gore or blood in my EBC breeding, that grosses me out."
"I don't like pink or purple, please keep these out of potential artist palette choices!"
I stress the above again -- be respectful in your suggestions. Everything will be policed as it's read by me or another staff member before it gets assigned out. If we feel you are excessively breaking the rules, you will be punished for it!
I hope everything above is a nice addition and many things people have wanted for a long time. For any questions or anything left out of the articles or this newspost, please comment or message me! :)
***New Addition to the Newpost!***
We are also looking for some Radioactive Breeding Coin artists, so if you are interested check the application here and email your app to [email protected]!

The BC candy info still says that it allows you to use predicts, plus there's also a part in the knowledge base that says you still need a BC candy for predicts for eggnog, HBC, and BC. (In case you guys didn't know)

Aww! I wish I could have had this notes box when I did my Lesser breeding a while back!

By the way, you can still add notes to breedings even if you already submitted them, so long as they aren't already assigned. :)

Hey can we use the artists note thing on an existing breeding? I've got one with an artist palette and was wondering if I could add a suggestion to it?

<33 Frey - this is awesomeness! :D One more suggestion though - can we get some type of option to tic our breeding that we will submit user predicts somehow?? I know that my IRL situation doesn't allow me to make them in time sometimes, but usually only since I'm missing 1 or 2 of the offspring to submit. If we tic the breeding for predicts, it would keep it out of your list for assignments. But if we chose to cancel predicts, date would be reset to the cancellation of predicts date so it wouldn't interfere with your assigned dates list. I think this would be a good step forward if this would be possible! Thank you either way! :D

The allowing for derp breeding predicts came a little bit too late. The derp breedings I had predicts done, hoping to submit, was just assigned. :( -sniffles a little- But still thanks for finally allowing predicts. :) I hope to be able to do more RBC and DBC breedings in future.

Are HBC offspring rolled randomly too? Like whether you get one of each parent, or two of one? If not, could you mention that in the suggestions?
