How did you like the prompts? I loved them! Great room to work with and actually forces me to work on my writing! Though I whole-heartedly support longer time periods. The art was really fun to make too!
Were the loot bundles fairly priced? I'd say so, but I participated late so I can't really say since i didn't buy any.
Are there other prizes you'd like to see in future? Hm, not that I can think of? Maybe add cute little accessories like bows or something? But not really, no.
How do you like the genes in the herd? Were they diverse enough? They're all so pretty! There definitely were enough and I loved the range of light and dark horses.
How did you like the spread of genders/age? I liked it! It was realistic and I really can't get enough of mares, lmao.
Would you like to see more geldings/yearlings in future years? I don't see why not! I love the yearling I won and the geldings were very pretty! Personally, I connect more with the mares, but it's also the appearance that wins me. So either way, I'd be happy to have more geldings and yearlings!
How did you like the edits available in this herd? Diverse enough? Oh yes! The colors and edits were all very pretty and gave little personalities to all of them!

There was some confusion with the wording of 'bidding' being used on my part.
Would you like the event to actually be set up as bidding or was the raffle format okay? Either one is fine, honestly. I kind of like the demands of narrowing down what horse you want with your tickets, but a raffle would be great if we want equal chances since some people had many more tickets than others.
Is there anything you'd like to suggest for improvements? Definitely more time for prompts. I once finished one art piece in an hour, which is pretty impressive for me, but I'm not a fan of how pressing the time was. I mean, I finished a writing piece right when one ended, so I missed out on a ticket.
Overall how did you like the event itself? I enjoyed it a lot! The surprise of not knowing what exactly your tolter will look like and it just being an event was great!

    How did you like the prompts?
    Sometimes they were a little hard to get the creative juices flowing with the more specific ones, maybe next time you could give us two?? A looser one and a more specific?
    Were the loot bundles fairly priced?
    Loot bundles were fantastic!
    Are there other prizes you'd like to see in future?
    Maybe have slots from people who were willing to donate them? And breedings from staff paired with them?
    How do you like the genes in the herd? Were they diverse enough?
    I feel like maybe Gulastra Plume would’ve been nice (I think I’m just partial too it hahah)
    How did you like the spread of genders/age?
    Loved it!
    Would you like to see more geldings/yearlings in future years?
    Yes!!!!
    How did you like the edits available in this herd? Diverse enough?
    There was some confusion with the wording of 'bidding' being used on my part.
    I love how they weren’t too extra but were just perfect
    Would you like the event to actually be set up as bidding or was the raffle format okay?
    Raffle for sure, it gives more of a chance I feel to people with less tickets
    Is there anything you'd like to suggest for improvements?
    Other than what I’ve mentioned, nope!
    Overall how did you like the event itself?
    Loved it <333

    How did you like the prompts?
    They were fine for me, except for the days that required art. I don’t have a tablet or a wide variety of art mediums so it was a struggle trying to always draw with no confidence in this field. I’m not sure if I might be the only one with this struggle. Maybe having 2 prompts a day would be better? One for art and one for writing. Some excel at art but not at writing and vice versa so maybe it could encourage more people to join.
    Were the loot bundles fairly priced?
    Yep. I think they were. They weren’t too expensive to the point whereby we struggled to get any.
    Are there other prizes you'd like to see in future?
    Hm...I don’t think I can think of any at the moment. I like them as the way they are.
    How do you like the genes in the herd? Were they diverse enough?
    Yes! It was such a surprise. Somatic, chimeras, brindled and even manchie. They were stunning. Even manage to snag a mare that came in my favourite base boat and gene!
    How did you like the spread of genders/age?
    Definitely. The yearlings were a pleasant surprise. I love the idea of random pregnant mares too. It gives the players another great surprise.
    Would you like to see more geldings/yearlings in future years?
    I personally don’t go after geldings but I think it would be great to see them! May not be for all but there are definitely those who love them. Same for yearlings.
    How did you like the edits available in this herd? Diverse enough?
    Oh god yes! I’ve been in the tolter community for a while but never manage to get a Tolts with mane/tail edits. This event has helped me to attain that possibility. She is my first tolt with hair edits and a bit of feathering!
    There was some confusion with the wording of 'bidding' being used on my part.
    Would you like the event to actually be set up as bidding or was the raffle format okay?
    I think both would be great. We can always test out a bidding format in the next event or other events to get a feel of it.
    Is there anything you'd like to suggest for improvements?
    Others have already mentioned above, regarding the timing for prompts. A little longer would be great. I think your suggestion of 2 days would be ideal.
    Overall how did you like the event itself?
    It was nice! Struggled a bit with some prompts but overall, I had fun!

    How did you like the prompts? majority of the prompts were quite wonderful, and usually sparked inspiration in me. However I did find others that were quite vague, and I struggled to come up with something. For example, using words like ‘cool’, or saying to use three horses but then just leaving it at that? So I’d suggest trying to be a little bit more directed. But like I said, majority of the prompts were fine and easy to work with. I’d also suggest maybe opening up a writing or drawing option, instead of having only one option. It might interest more people, and others may not find it as difficult to participate in.
    Were the loot bundles fairly priced? I was a little surprised that they were loot bundles to begin with. A nice surprise though! I liked how they were priced, and the prizes were neat! I love that each one had some sort of custom in it for those that chose not to ‘bid’ on a herd tolt.
    Are there other prizes you'd like to see in future? I quite like the variety it has already, and there’s not really anything I could think to suggest adding.
    How do you like the genes in the herd? Were they diverse enough? heck yeah! There were so many surprises in the tolts that it was so lovely. Especially those hidden genes too! It was a very nice touch. The only thing I didn’t really notice were any tobiano or overo, so you could do a couple of those next time if you wanted.
    How did you like the spread of genders/age? honestly, I’d love to see more! They were so cute and the foals were so unique. You had no idea what edits they would have, and you got a semi idea what their coats would look like. The geldings, I personally wasn’t too keen on, because I prefer stallions. But I understand why they were there, and I know other people do enjoy them!
    Would you like to see more geldings/yearlings in future years? ah sorry, I kinda answered that above. But yeah definitely! Especially the foals in my opinion.
    How did you like the edits available in this herd? Diverse enough? I adored the edits and found that it helped build up character for them. There’s nice variety and mixture!
    There was some confusion with the wording of 'bidding' being used on my part.
    Would you like the event to actually be set up as bidding or was the raffle format okay? I feel like if you did a bidding and raffle format, it might be more fair? That way everyone has a chance via raffles, but those who put a lot of their time and effort into the event are still able to get a tolt via bidding for sure. Like just have certain tolts set aside for raffling and others for bidding.
    Is there anything you'd like to suggest for improvements? I believe you covered everything already. My only big concerns were the bidding vs raffling, and the prompts. It might be an unique idea to encourage collabs to get community members interacting with one another more? But that might be too tricky with such a short time window. Since people have different time zones and work schedules. Perhaps it is an idea for a different event or adopt.
    Overall how did you like the event itself? I loved it. It had its challenging moments, and definitely pushed me to some of my limits. There were times I wanted to skip a prompt, but the idea of getting the vault, and wanting to have enough tickets to ‘bid’ kept me going. Afterwards I felt better, and actually very proud of myself for what I managed to accomplish. It’s also brought me closer to my tolts, and encouraged me to do more with them. So I’m totally looking forward to next years event.

How did you like the prompts? some of them, a couple I couldn't think of anything to do.
Were the loot bundles fairly priced? sorta maybe have them a little less like the bag instead of 3 like 2 and so fourth
Are there other prizes you'd like to see in future? maybe you can buy an orphan foal like loot bundles or add something like that to a bundle
How do you like the genes in the herd? Were they diverse enough? they were pretty good but I do feel there should have been more just regular paints and appalossas
How did you like the spread of genders/age? age yes but I feel there should have been more stallions
Would you like to see more geldings/yearlings in future years? yearlings maybe but gelding no
How did you like the edits available in this herd? Diverse enough? yeah I liked them :) there was edit I didn't care for but that was just me
There was some confusion with the wording of 'bidding' being used on my part.
Would you like the event to actually be set up as bidding or was the raffle format okay? I liked the raffle but maybe you could have a couple with bidding like a couple times and then a couple just the highest
Is there anything you'd like to suggest for improvements? more tickets for prompts for like the art and then maybe lower the minimum word count a bit for those who have a hard time getting to even 500 words

Also make it so not one person gets 2 pregnant ones ( if they win more then horse ) like for example some won two horses but they didn't roll pregnant for either and on top of that two of the foals from the event were theirs that's like a double hit, maybe have it so like 2 mares could be totals parent that was if one person wins two horses and both don't end up losing a slot.
Overall how did you like the event itself? it was pretty good but defiantly could have been better
