...OR FACE MY WRATH.
Get your attention? Good! Because we're still having issues with people following rules regarding certain items, predicts, and otherwise. We also made some decisions on other breeding related stuff.
- To start, Fertility Potions cannot be used on: Holiday Breeding Coins, Breeding Coins, Derp Breeding Coins, Radioactive Breeding Coins, Eggnogs, Rare/Uncommon Breedings*, Hybrid LBCs, or Evil Breeding Coins.
They can be used on COMMON SPECIES ONLY (including SCC pets). They can be used on MBC, LBC, and Half LBC breedings that follow the above rules only.
*as designated in the Breeding Tutorial, which will be updated by this weekend, keep an eye out for it!
- Follow the predict requirement rules when submitting predicts. I think my last newspost regarding this went largely unseen, so I'll copypaste and try again. Here is a key of how many predicts are required for each coin if you submit predicts (if you want to make more, knock yourself out, but you MUST make this amount minimum):
HLBC - 2
EBC - 2
Derp - 2
Eggnog - 2 per side
BC - 3
RBC - 3
HBC - 4
LBC - 4
MBC - 4
----------
- Eggnog: Submit 2 predicts for your end of the eggnog breeding. In the case where you want to work with the other person that is to be receiving a baby as well, they can submit two as well; if not, their end will be done by an artist. If it is a hybrid breeding, make two hybrid predicts, and if it's any other combination of pets, make one predict for each species/base.
- EBC: Submit 2 predicts, 1 'normal' and one 'evil'. Evil is to the discretion of the submitter, and normal is obviously just that -- what any other baby would be produced from that breeding. If it is a hybrid breeding, 2 hybrid predicts are required, and if it is any other combination of pets, make one predict for each species/base.
- RBC: I decided that if people want to submit predicts for these, fine. You must submit 3 predicts, 1 of which is a mutant/any weird and freaky combo you want, 1 of which is a 'normal' baby, and 1 of which is an alternate 'normal' baby. By this, I mean if you have a Melo x a Soli, for example, this makes a hybrid; make one baby that is a potential hybrid, one baby that is either a Melo or a Soli, and one baby that is a freaky screwed-up mutant. If something like Vyne x Orimi, make 1 mutant, 1 normal Vyne, and 1 normal Orimi. RBC almost always makes mutants, but you do have a small chance of one of your 'normal' babies being born as well. All RBC Hybrids must be editless as well.
- HBC: Adding this one in, not in the last news post, but for HBC, make 2 predicts PER PARENT SPECIES. So if you do Vion x Melo, make 2 Vions and 2 Melos.
- Derp: Make. Derpy. Babies. Don't try to use this coin as an excuse to make a nice baby. Overlays. Remember the April 1st newspost I did? DERPIFY IT.
----------
- NOTE THAT FROM NOW ON, if you screw up and use a Fertility Potion on a breeding that it isn't allowed, you will not get a refund. READ THE RULES BEFORE USING. This also applies for trying to breed things not allowed on certain coins. You will not be refunded for things that are not submission mistakes from now on, you will simply have your breeding canceled without refund. All current breedings in queue that require cancellation will be refunded but from this newspost forward if you breed Vions with a Metal Breeding Coin, for example, you WILL lose your coin.
If you accidentally breed your Melo to your Orimi when you meant to breed it to your Phanto, for example, that is a valid reason to ask for a refund to resubmit the breeding. If you accidentally potion over a pet and it renders the breeding defunct, I will also work to refund you and get that resubmitted. An example of this is potioning over a pet to render a BC breeding that creates no hybrids (or isn't done on purpose, if I see something odd I will always PM the person to verify), or an LBC breeding no longer LBC-compatible (oops, I potioned my Vyne and now it's Vyne x Soli!). If you potion a pet in something like an RBC/EBC/Eggnog/Holiday breeding, WE WILL NOT FIX IT. You are stuck with what you get. It only applies to things that simply will not work for that coin. This applies to all future breedings not currently in queue as of this newspost.
- We also now have a guide of what predict caps there are payment-wise. Use this guide to remember what you can charge/what you should be paying as a maximum:
10 GP per set = LBC, MBC
7 GP per set = RBC, EBC
5 GP per set = Eggnog, HLBC, Derp
5 GP per baby = BC, HBC
Old x New lineart anything still has no price cap.
If it's a Breeding Coin, Breeding Pendant, Holiday Breeding Coin, or Egg Nog, you must pay a BC Candy to upload predicts. Refer to Slash's newspost a few days ago if you have any other further questions.
ANOTHER EDIT: No more Xaocs can be bred with Derp Coins. Stop doing so as of this newspost.
- Payout kickback for predict submissions are fixed! So whenever I accept predicts you should get your payment from now on.
If you have ANY questions on this, or I screwed something up, ask in the comments or just shoot me an email at [email protected]. I'm off to finish predict acceptance and respond to emails now.

Having all this info in one location is very helpful :D
I have one question about this though "Make. Derpy. Babies. Don't try to use this coin as an excuse to make a nice baby." Does that mean we're not allowed to make attractive overlays? Because sometimes overlays do end up looking rather nice :o

It will be in the Breeding Tutorial by this weekend... this was just to inform people now before anything else. xD
And yeah some derpies look good, I mean like the people trying to make legit LBC breedings lately with their derp coins. >_>

Will payment for accepted submitted predicts from when the payout wasn't working be distributed? :3

Do EBC and RBC's get a 300k kickback for submitting predicts? (going to guess that'd be the case rather than 3 GP, since neither is sold in the Cash Shop.)

Are these rules going to be placed somewhere permenant? Because I'm pretty sure that there are some rules just posted in the news and not elsewhere, and it's a pain in the butt to try and find them again for reference.

News post says the Breeding Tutorial will be updated this weekend, so hopefully all the rules will end up in there. =3

If it's predicts, you just tell me what breeding and I assign it to you. :D
