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.

Kiritora, like I explained, predicts will generally not be used if it's no-lineart edit pets. GCC pets are covered in the above, we will use those predicts. If you want to submit your own predicts for, say, your fennec fox x starwielder melo breeding, we're not necessarily going to use them. And Shrike, it is still considered asking for payment so it would not be allowed. Luna, if they are 'rolled' a 4, they still get 4 in that case, we will never give out more than that. I'll look into that, Pin, as that is more of a 'gift' but still may be covered under the above.

No probs :] Yeah we'll never just overlay things with copious edits and whatnot, edits would get cut off that way. And that'd be bad all around. :x

So no update yet on the alt hybrids, namely the few alt quetzals that are onsite? XD Sorry again Frey, but I am curious about them since I have seen a few posts on them yet, and the last we heard about them was months ago XD Even if they are still unbreedable, perhaps it should be posted in the breeding guide just to avoid any confusion until Slash makes an an announcement. =)

Okay Pin, found out that yeah even gifts for doing offspring predicts aren't allowed. Nothing is allowed to be given as compensation. And sorry Hiiro, still not breedable yet. ;o; Slash will keep you updated regarding that and I bet Beej will add it to the breeding guide as well. That's a good suggestion.

Could you still offer to do them for people for free? :D

Same lineart pets? My married pair has the same lineart and they are GCCs. I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me if you aren't going to use my predicts or tell me that you need something changed. I prefer to do my own babies. It goes faster and I don't have to ask for the .psd's all the time.
It takes an hour tops to do these predicts. Half an hour normally. Why? Because I am doing four. I don't want to waste my time doing them and find out someone on staff made them instead, wasting my time I could have been doing with something else.
