I... tentatively agree with lengthening the BQ calender. I have my gripes but if we are talking breeding supression, I'd much rather we do that or even limit to one/two breedings, or limit it to breeding where can can show at least some proof of interaction/significant plot value to the baby, then the new genetics mutation possibility. I think if we lengthen the year, no more than two months = year? More then that and I'm out on the idea haha.
I think I would most prefer a even more stringent limit on number of breedings and/or needing proof of intercation/intention. Mixture of the two (one freer breeding, one that's need justification of some sort) I think. I do agree that longer year allows up to soak up the seasons more. Shit just blows on by as is
I also think it might be cool to... maaaaybe make exceptions on birthdays (love the idea of burthday presents for new and maybe even current ponies) and/or like holiday months (I.e. december) just for some added cheer. Neither of these are sticking points with me, just adds some fun and excitement around here. Like when it's Yuletide baby time, I just feel like it would be a shame to miss out on that if December falls on the first half of a lengthened year, ya know?
For what it's worth, just going off what Prism said, personally I do not think we need to be putting any barriers on traits, just breeding so we aren't "trait farming"/generally over populating and closeting good names haha. I don't know if that was a thought/consideration at all amoung the bosses but just in case it may be: I think the culture has changed and at the end of the day, this is a game and a place for us to make imaginary fun time and traits do nothing but enhance that and I think it's great. This from someone who to this day will still bring up a traitless, lineless pony as one of my all time favs. We are way past pretending like BQ isnt a (colourful) mythical pony RP IMO I'm sure others feel differently (like Prism) and I get it, but that's just my take.
If this is horrible, I'm on my phone and my phone is hell to type anything with let alone a big blah blah blah.
