Site Update
Couple bits of housekeeping for everyone!
Some of you have noticed that RBC kickbacks are now gone. Staff had been unaware that allowing predicts again meant it had a kickback at all, and when I was alerted to it the consensus was to stop the kickback for RBC altogether. RBC and Derp aren't supposed to have a kickback for predicts. While this may be an inconvenience to some, it was never a stated fact for these two coins so we are using this newspost to properly clarify this for the future.
I know a few people have asked about their breedings having been assigned for awhile too -- I wanted to address this concern. January has been a particularly tough month on a lot of our artists, so there was a limited pool to reassign to, meaning some look as if they've been assigned a full month or longer. Some artists also came back and agreed to finish the list they've had for that extended time. So if you have been waiting on a breeding, never fear! They should be coming back within the next week, or being reassigned if need be.
Lastly, just a friendly reminder that the Adopt a Custom feature has been stocked up with pets, so if you're interested in applying for one, there's still a few from January left and a whole slew of gorgeous February customs up for grabs! :3 Our Knowledge Base has an article on how the feature works, so get your creativity flowing and you might be able to take home a new friend!
More work is going on behind the scenes to clean up a few other areas on the breeding side, so expect more updates coming soon!

II like this. It makes things much more unpredictable.

I'll take your word on the article, but darned if I can find it...my CSS is pretty feeble - as apparently indicated by the failure of my previous few attemts - but I'll give it another shot. They are some truly lovely pets.

For RBC predicts people usually need to commission others to do and 2 are metal colorings, only mutant might be easier, just like derp predicts. Maybe still have kickbacks so people can offset abit the cost of commissioning predicts?

The thing with RBC is that you choose what you want to submit; it is not a requirement to submit all of them. It is therefore your choice to commission that much for the possibility of receiving the Normal or the Hybrid. Most people want just the mutant, which we do not feel is warranted enough for a kickback, let alone a GP one.

@1709
You PM Frey at @90 with the parents pictures, IDS, and the png file for the predict.
I feel bad Frey has to do it this way for now, but it works.

Does the long wait for breedings being shortened apply for all breedings or just RBCs? I've been waiting on an MBC since last September.

You mean derps were giving kickbacks too? I agree they shouldnt. But RBCs...we are saving your artists having to do them. Especially if we do three, a mutant, regular, and hybrid.
I would appreciate SOME kickback for all that effort, and saving yall trouble. *shrug*
