Wanting to add that I agree with others above- the easiest/simplest option would be to limit one pair per user per opening. It would also be the easiest to enforce (search a username on the nursery page and they should only appear once).

However it also creates issues of its own, which others have addressed- that of prioritization of pairs, as fables have 2 slots.

An example to illustrate a potential challenge of this: if I have a pair with user A and user B, and prioritize my pair with A, then B must prioritize another pair with their fable- say with user C. What if user C already posted a different pair/told user B that they are prioritizing their other pair? Now user B has to find another pair to post or miss out on the opening. Ik this isn’t the most likely scenario but still something to consider.

A potential middle ground could be to allow a user to be named twice- the maximum number of fable breeding slots- so that they can potentially have both of their pairs posted and no more/ensure that even if they aren’t prioritized they can have a pair posted in an opening. This would be more difficult to enforce, but just a thought!

Whichever way you decide to go, thank you so much bezel for hosting the twin breeding, for engaging the community for feedback, and for running fables!!! I’m so excited to see this species grow, and love all the fun stuff that’s been done so far <33

I have a question..?

From what I understand, each Fable has two breeding slots. From this, I get that they can only breed two times. Correct?
If user A posts using their fable and user B's fable, would there be one offspring or two? If one, would that offspring go to the one that posted? (I would assume) If two, would they each get one? (granted they figure out themselves which goes with whom before claiming)

Aside, I like the idea of somehow posting or officializing which order slots for a fable would be prioritized in the case only one is allowed to be posted. What I mean is, (as mentioned in one of the earlier posts today) it could seem unfair to one user if they were told they are allowed to have a slot with fable A and someone else Also posts a breeding with fable A because they were also 'promised' a slot.
Perhaps a post on the fable's page from the owner? stating slot A and slot B going to which user and with which fable? (with screenshot proof from the other involved agreeing)

As for the two questions,
With the current ruling of "no one user or fable will ever have the chance to be chosen more than once during an opening, and no one user will be allowed to post more than one form during an opening" , I would go with option B of "A user should be limited to one potential pairing/can only be named in one form".
Perhaps it could be strongly suggested to users around the rules area that they agree with the other involved again before posting to be sure they are not involved in another breeding already (perhaps they have two different fables that are involved in two different breedings. But they cannot be in two posts.)

If the ruling of a user/fable only being allowed to be chosen once is Not in place, I would choose option A. Their slots would be filled, and there would be more "room" so to speak in future breeding openings because they would not be "competing" with that fable as it's slots would be full. But, I think this option should only be chosen if there is the potential for those more breeding openings. If not, some of those not chosen in a time where one person (in two different breedings) was, could be frustrated/ discouraged.

^_^' Hope this all made sense.

If user A posts using their fable and user B's fable, would there be one offspring or two? If one, would that offspring go to the one that posted? (I would assume) If two, would they each get one? (granted they figure out themselves which goes with whom before claiming)

For twin breeding openings specifically, it is 2 offspring. Fates can be decided before the twins are born or after. Uses 1 slot from your fable

For regular seasonal nursery slot openings it is a single parent breeding (if you own a fable) with 1 offspring. Uses 1 slot from your fable.

Hope this was helpful c:

Hmm. I see what you mean. I think. If the 1 form/1 user mention rule was implemented users would be a lot more cautious with their pairings. It would be more common to seek out one pairing, secure it, and wait for the opening. To focus on a pairing, one twin breeding opening at a time. This breeding there was confusion, but with the next, with more clear rules, I think choosing partners will be a lot more straightforward/easy process.

If user B has to find a pairing for their fable anyway, better to choose one user, where they won't miss out on a technicality at least.

hello guys !! making a quick introduction : D

i'm ipphie, a digital artist with a joy for collectiong characters
i've been respectfully looking fables since the day one, but i've been hesitant to enter the specie since i'm always very busy. nonethless, they fascinate me in every adopt and i just couldn't resist !!

i still don't own any fables but hopedully i'll be introducing my first here soon C :

[BlueEyedKite]

Hi ipphie! Glad to have you!

Also! Huge congratulations to Snowflakette for making artist I literally can't wait to see the gorgeous Fables to come ^^

[Lilac Dreams]

Hey all! I'm AbaloneSplash but feel free to call me Kelpie. Just recently rejoined from several years ago and stumbled across these and they're so pretty!

[Baobabel]

Hey! I'm Baobabel. I've been in love with fables from the start! My lovely fable is here

How many is too many favorites? haha
#3, 31, 34, 1-3, 1-7, 1-14, 1-17, 1-20, 1-21, 1-33, 2-11, 2-16

Are you interested in a fable discord server?
I have discord so I'm definitely not against it but I'm more of a lurker so I wouldn't be super active. It would be helpufl to get pings for adopts and nursery openings though!

I think I'd have to go with limiting one pair per user per opening. It just makes it more fair overall since a user having multiple different pairings with different people increases their chances of being picked at all. This also makes it so that there's no jealousy over whether a pairing with person A's fable and person B's fable, is picked over person A's fable with person C's fable.

[Nanorat]

Regarding the nursery limit discussion, I agree with others - it seems more fair to have a limit of one user being able to be mentioned in one breeding during an opening. It sounds really limiting for the artist if one user's fables are mentioned in multiple pairings - only one have to be chosen, the pairing could have been chosen to be made as well but the fable limit would make it disqualified if the other chosen pairing also has this user's fable. In a way, it actually hurts the other fable's owner's chances to get their breeding chosen! It really seems like a fair limit all around, same as you can only submit one entry to regular, one fable breedings.

[Aizaka]

I understand the whole 'submit once per breeding opening', but I think the wording should be clear in meaning the user can 'be involved in one breeding per opening' regardless if they were the one to submit it or not. Otherwise one could get confused and not realize someone has already mentioned them in a breeding previously discussed. Such as if they have talked to multiple people about different breedings with their different fables.
(Owner A has fable A and fable B and has a breeding set up with fable A and owner B, and fable B and owner C. Owner B posts a breeding for fable A and owner A might not realize.)

^_^ Hope that all made sense..
