all the questions - Call - 09-13-2016
sooooo....
when breeding do we list the horses with their traits as we normally would and then the baby would have to earn back their expressed traits or is this to be done another way?
how does this work, in case..you know...Weira has babies to pawn on people
RE: all the questions - Kyra - 09-14-2016
Yup! You'll list traits as you normally would, and inheritance will still work in the same way. The foal will just have to earn the use of the expressed traits.
RE: all the questions - Tinsel - 09-14-2016
@[Kyra] Would we include traits that haven't been earned back in breeding genetics still?
RE: all the questions - Cassi - 09-14-2016
Yep! trait genetics are the same regardless of what 'stage' the horse is at in regaining their trait(s).
RE: all the questions - Tinsel - 09-14-2016
Thanks @[Cassi]! What if a character decides to not earn a trait back? I'm not planning on breeding Lauchlan for a long time, but I don't really think he's going to want his pooping-linked spider shifting back unless it's forced on him, lolol (which is a pity, because I want it back because angst, but there's no way he'd beg a fairy for that back hahaha).
Edit: Wow just realized how horribly worded that was. Basically, what I meant was, if a character has decided not to earn a trait back, is that still included in genetics?
RE: all the questions - Cassi - 09-14-2016
Two ways:
1. They don't have to earn it back, or redeem their points, if they don't want to, you can just wait until the change ends
2. You can play your character as not 'knowing' how to get the trait restored, then simply petition OOC if you would like the trait back, and you can just play like "oh crap it's back." This is what I'm doing with several of mine, because contagion h a t e s his glass, lol
RE: all the questions - Tinsel - 09-14-2016
... I did not realize you could ooc petition for a trait back. This could be fun. *ribs hands together evilly*
RE: all the questions - Cassi - 09-14-2016
From the version 18 FAQ:
I have to write an IC post every time I petition the Beqanna Fairy for traits?
In order to petition the Fairy for your traits you may: a.) Post IC, humbly asking the Beqanna Fairy to restore your trait(s) b.) Post OOC, with a note on which character is petitioning and for what or c.) Post IC, but your character is demanding traits rather than asking nicely. Please be aware that while this method will get you your traits back, the Beqanna Fairy may take offense and may *temporarily* alter your trait to become more painful, sporadic, or otherwise changed. All posts, IC or OOC, must include links to points and a summary of trait(s) needing to be restored.
so there's several ways depending on your character/what you want to do to your character
RE: all the questions - Tinsel - 09-14-2016
I have no idea how I missed that, but that's great! I don't think I have any other characters who dislike their trait quite as much as Lauchlan, but I do have others that might like their temporary traits more, or who don't care enough to try and earn their traits back, so this helps to work around that. Thanks Cassi!
And sorry Call for taking over your thread, lol.
