@miss fox-She could go to Jericho? He has three mares atm c:

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having lovely days! c:

Okay, so I know I said like three days ago that I'd tell you all about the fighting odds, but I haven't had a chance to type them all up yet, so that post will be up this evening! (To be linked on the rules post for future reference).

@Silent Wish - your histories are fine

@Night - I posted yesterday about Flo


I have messaged Flo - they have been online but not posting here, so I feel like they might not be interested anymore. I'll let y'all know when I get a reply! c: In the meantime, I appreciate you all being patient! <3


So, leaving her charries behind is prohibited until I get a reply.
As well, I'd rather him not approach Riff, as the only mares he has at the minute are Ohanzee and Pepper, and I believe that neither Scar nor Tauriel would like those mares to be separated from him.

@suzycu - if all players have a lead mare, then it will be allowed for a player to have two. If a player finds themselves with a mare with two stallions who have either just one adult mare or one mare who is 10+ and one mare is <5 years old, then they will be allowed to keep both their mares in lead positions until another suitable mare comes along.
Basically, the rule was put in place to prevent people from having all their mares as leads c:

I cannot believe that our poll is a direct tie right now! O.O I don't know what will happen if it ends in a four-way tie cx

*Edited to include something I forgot about!*

[lovestruck]

Oh gosh, for the poll. cx
I guess... revote? Or maybe add one more option, idk

edit: haha nvm someone just voted and somethings in the lead now cx

[sharklord]

oops, didn't see about flo

[suzycu]

Thank you Laurara!

[azhefa.]

i have my sweet bean panda open for mares, he doesn't have any atm

i don't think any of my mares will be lead in the herds they're gonna go to, they're all too young or inexperienced, though since anarchy would be the only mare around the bachelor boys, she'll be the kind of default lead mare for a while
the only one that would have any chance at a true lead position would be viktoriya, but if she's going to anubis, there's little chance of it since demeter is the same age

i'll be getting a post up tonight when i get home c:

[Lavellan]

Okay, so to make fighting more fair but keeping it realistic, Scarlit and I have worked out a rolling system for stallions who are fighting. This will also apply to mares who wish to bicker for lead.


Base odds are 50-50.


Handicaps:

Age

• +3 points for every year a stallion is older than the other if they are both in their primes
  
• +3 points for every year a stallion is older than the other if neither are in their prime
  
• +5 points for every year a stallion has on the younger stallion if the older one is in his prime while the younger one isn't with a max chance cap of 99/1.
  

  
  6yr VS 6yr = 50 / 50
  7yr VS 5yr = 56 / 44
  16yr VS 13yr = 59 / 41
  14yr VS 8yr = 80 / 20
  15yr VS 6yr = 95 / 05
  16yr VS 3yr = 99 / 01









Injuries

• +5 to opponent if a stallion suffers from minor injuries, such as bruises, small cuts, a slight soreness in the feet or being slightly underweight
  
• +10 to opponent if a stallions is moderately underweight or has injuries such as deep cuts or moderate soreness in the feet
• +25 to opponent if a stallion suffers from being very underweight, severe lameness, infection or disease
• +45 to opponent if a stallion suffers from very severe injuries or ailments such as emaciation, torn ligaments, sprained limbs, or broken bones
  

  
  

  1. A horse who bruised his hoof and has slight, almost invisible limp against a healthy stallion would be 45/55
  2. A horse who has a long, fairly deep cut on his leg going against a healthy stallion should be 40/60
  3. A stallion who is very underweight after a tough winter against a healthy stallion should be 25/75
  4. A stallion who has many broken ribs against a healthy stallion should be 05/95
     
     If a horse has injuries/sicknesses that fall into both categories, such as being very underweight and having some bruises, then you add the points together, which in this case would be 5 and 25 to make for -30 points to the injured stallion. Again, a cap will be placed at 99/01
     













Yearling Colts

There will be a bonus for stallions with yearling colts only if the stallion is defending against an attack.
This will be added only when a colt is +1 year - 11 month old colts will not add to this bonus.


• For defending bands with colts, there's a +5 bonus for every colt
  
• Cappped at Four colts, for a max buff of +20
  

  
  

  1. A stallion versus a herd stallion with one yearling colt = 45/55
  2. A stallion versus a herd stallion with four yearling colts in the herd = 30/70
  3. A stallion versus a herd stallion with six yearling colts in the herd = 30/70

*Note - this only applies if a colt is willing to help - if a colt is too nervous/cunning to aid their stallion, the bonus does not count.




Loyal Mares
Some stallions have mares whose players have expressed their interest in having them stay with their stallion permanently. In the case that a loyal mare is to be snaked after a fight, the odds are as follows.

Done on a scale system

• +15 to a band stallion if a mare really wants to stay with her herd
  
• +/-0 buff if a mare's player is neutral
• -15 if a mare really wants to leave.
  

  
  

  1. A stallion whose mare would prefer to stay but player doesn't mind the drama of being snaked - +10 for her stallion = 60/40
  2. A stallion whose mare would rather die than stay with her stallion - -15 for her stallion = 35/65







Recent Fights

• -10 if a stallion has fought another in the last 3 pages
  
• -5 if a stallion has fought another in the last 5 pages
• -2 if a stallion has fought another in the last 10 pages.
• -1 if a stallion has fought another in the last season.
  

  
  

  1. A horse who fought another only to be challenged in the next 3 pages = 40/50
  2. A horse who fought at the beginning of spring to fight again at the end of the season = 49/51



___________________________________________

Examples Scenario:




It's just now springtime. Stallion A challenges Stallion B to a fight. Both are band stallions, with A having 5 mares and 1 yearling colt while B has 3 mares and 2 yearling colts. Stallion B's colts want to help keep the family together. Stallion A is 16 years old while Stallion B is 12 years old. Stallion B though had a tough winter and is moderately underweight. Stallion B also had just fought off a bachelor colt yesterday (within last 5 pages) and while he received no injuries, he's still a bit tired from it. All mares in both groups are fairly neutral to whoever they end up with.

1. A is 16 while B is 12. A is in his prime, B is not so it is +5 for every year A has on B, which is 4 years. 5x4=20, odds are currently at 70/30.
2. Stallion B is moderately underweight, leading him to be not as muscled or energetic as stallion A. +10 points to stallion A. The odds are now at 80/20.
3. Stallion A has 1 yearling colt, but since he is attacking the colt gives no points. Stallion B however has 2 yearling colts and he's defending. The colts give +5 points each to stallion B for a total of 10. Odds are currently 70/30.
4. Stallion B however just had a fight yesterday and he's still tired from it. +5 points to stallion A. The final odds are 75/25 with Stallion A having a 50 point advantage.

So, stallion A is older, in his prime, is perfectly healthy and has not had a fight for an entire season compared to stallion B who is underweight, younger by 4 years, not in his prime but is close too it, and had a skirmish recently. Mares are neutral, so they will not help or hinder. Stallion B does have 2 yearling colts to help defend and they do give a small stat bonus that way, but stallion A has a much higher chance of winning.

Final odds: Stallion A 75 (26 - 100) / 25 Stallion B (1-25)

Mods Roll. The random number generated is 77, Stallion A wins.




___________________________________________

This method will require a lot of communication, but hopefully will encourage more fights within the rp as things are far fairer!

Final odds will be shared with both players before the roll occurs to ensure that everyone is clear going forward into the roll - e.g. if Anubis and Riff are planning on fighting, odds will be shared with Laurara and Scarlit, with each buffer explained, before mods roll for the final outcome.

If there are any questions or suggestions, PM me or post on here!

Thanks, guys!

Gee, I really hope I've gotten all of my maths right on this! >.< cx

@laurara: i love this idea. it stops from petty fights between players. it’s gonna be a lot of work but i see it working out reall well! still super excited to see anubis and riff’s fight, especially to see how this new system works.
