I apologize ahead of time if any of my suggestions are redundant! But I love this boy, and have to enter. ToT
----------
1. May suggest 5 Coat Designs. For +1 Roll. 2. May make 1 Item Suggestion. For +1 Roll.A rare item that allows you to influence the gender of a foal you receive from a breeding. It would only work for ONE foal per breeding, too, so if you roll twins, triplets, or even quads, only one foal will be of a guaranteed gender. To ensure the genders of the whole batch, more than one of these items would need to be used. ^.^
3. May suggest 1 Event Idea, with a bit of details. For +1 Roll.Some sort of seek-and-find thing, where you hide little objects in your posts and people have to go find them. Can ether receive a Grel coloured like the hidden object or a special item or tokens or whatever. Could be fun. ^.^
4. May suggest a rule New or change, for Main Thread, Fan Club, ____? For +1 Roll.I totally agree with those who have said there needs to be some sort of adoption limit - one Grel per day, maybe two or three per week, max - to slow down the adoptions. I keep the archive, so I know who has what, and some herds are getting a bit on the large side. My own included. X'D
An adoption limit would make people think harder about what Grels they choose to apply for, and would ensure that more people have a shot at more Grels, even those who live in different time zones!
5. May suggest 15 Coat Designs for +1 Roll. 6. May suggest a Series/Theme Event, Give details on Series/Theme for Coat Designs. For +1 Roll.We've already done appaloosas, so why not paints? And to make them special, each one could have a marking somewhere on their body that's vaguely shaped like something other than a spot. Like an animal, or an object, or a letter... whatever strikes your fancy. Kinda like this. Which is a digitally altered photo, by the way. Not a real horse marking. Though this horse with a horse on his neck is supposed to be real. ;D
7. Give an opinion on Kindness Ratings. For +1 Roll.I like the kindness ratings - as others have said, they help me to develop the personalities of my Grels. The gradual change from one level to the next is interesting, and you can really see a shift across the board. The only complaint I have is that some of the things alluded to could stand to be elaborated on slightly.
With all the work you're/we're doing on the story and background of the Grels, the ratings should take on a new dimension, too! ;D
8. Give 3 Mutation Ideas. For +1 Roll.1) HAIRLESS. Because I love bald animals, and I would KILL for a bald Grel. Yes, hairless horses exist. Now, that being said, NFS is a harmful mutation in real horses, and those animals born with it live extremely shortened lives. So maybe Grels exhbiting th trait should be sterile..? They're already magical zombies, so I doubt the condition itself would harm them much, but there should be SOME concession. Maybe they're weak and fragile, so can't be shown for the sake of their health?
2) Cloven hooves (as in- three toes, because Grels already have the two). That is all. ^o^
3) An elongated mane that goes down their back and runs all the way down to their butt/base of the tail.
9. Give 5 Mutation Ideas. For +1 Roll.1) FIVE tails? I know four is technically the max, but that's an un-mutated thing. Maybe five tails could even be seen as 'unlucky'?
2) Bony ridges on the skull - like, an accumulation of extra bone. Could vary in severity from a couple little nobs to massive rises.
3) Extra skin - anything from sherpei-like wrinkles to the kind of iguanna-like flaps and frills you did on my Nera, Monk. ^o^
4) Extra eyes - either in/on the skull, or located someplace on the body.
5) Translucent skin/fur - could be really cool, but could also be a lot of work to pull off.
10. Give Decor Ideas for New Info thread's posts. (be detailed). For +1 Roll. 11. Give Organizing Tips (must give more than a single tip) for info thread. For +1 Roll.Please don't take this the wrong way, but when looking at various Grel threads and the way you've set them up, I've noticed that you have a tendency to center everything and have done. Which is fine - centering definitely makes for tidy lists - but it's also good to mix things up once in a while. I personally like to use the 'list' code (which is how I've indented things in this very post), and combining the 'left', 'center', and 'right' codes can make the layout of info in a thread more interesting to look at, especially when there are images involved, as some others have suggested. The use of quote boxes to segregate different chunks of info and the inclusion of different sizes of text can also look nice. It just depends on how much info you have, what KIND of info you have, and what sort of style you're going for. ;D
12. Give other suggestions within info thread to improve. (3 Suggestions). For +1 Roll. 13. Give an entire Event Idea, if willing to help run it in some shape or form. For +1 Roll.For this upcoming Halloween - I was thinking something along the lines of that one Nera event you helped to organize: Costumes! A special batch of Trick-or-Treat Grels could be created, their entire form hidden by a costume so that people aren't sure what they really look like. Each one could also come with an item, wrapped in a bundle or hidden in a trick-or-treat sack so it can't be identified. For the length of the event, these Grels and their loot would be open to forms, and adoption could be managed in a number of ways, just to keep things interesting: could be short personality/story competitions, raffles, flatsales, what-have-you!
At the end, all the Grels would be reveled. But not the items. Not right off!
See, the item should only be revealed after a person has decided to keep their Grel for good, and has formally posted to say as such. For those who don't like what turned out to be under the costume, though, there would be a special section of the event where people could either trade Grels - and their attached items - to other users, or 'sell' their Grels back to the agency for a guaranteed item/token amount. Kind of like a Deal or No Deal situation. ^o^
Grels that are 'sold' back to the agency would then be put back up for adoption - sans their special item - and the original owner could not reapply.
14. Give other suggestions within info thread to improve. (5 Suggestions). For +1 Roll. 15. Agreement with (3 People, and a reason for each.) For +1 Roll.1) I agree with Kurokawa's ideas of a Marking Transfer item and a Fertility Potion items - they sound like great ways to help people get exactly what they want out of a breeding, and parallel items I've seen in other species. Randomness can be fun, but if you have a project, randomness can be frustrating - especially with limited breeding slots!
2) reygankiwi's 'Sleipnir' mutation idea is really cool. I think it could add an extra level of cool to an already cool creature. I also like their 'draft feathering' idea. I love draft horses. ^o^
3) Yuroshi's 'Flop Ear' mutation has already gotten love - I'll give it more. It's just a cute idea.
16. Agreement with (5 People, and a reason for each.) For +1 Roll.1) Yuroshi's 'Face Paint' idea is really nice. I'm not sure if the existing 'war paint' item technically covers this, but the way they suggested having several 'default' patterns for people to choose from appeals to me.
2) AnimalAtHeart's comment about the ears forward/ears back being easy to miss is a valid one, though the BG is also an indicator of if the Grel is adopted or not - a BG means it's up for adoption, no BG means it's not. It couldn't hurt to add an 'adopt me' sign too? Just for people unfamiliar with the species? It would be easy enough to take off when changing the ears post-adoption. ^.^
3) Nanorat's idea of limiting certain kinds of events to Grels with certain kindness levels is super interesting, and makes sense. I think it could make future events more dynamic.
4) Nanorat's Rescue event idea, because I enjoyed the one we had back when the Neravontii community was alive and well.
5) Kurokawa's suggestion for Grels with 'lacing' markings. One of the pictures I linked above is actually OF a horse with this marking.
17. 3 Item Ideas, 1 Event or Series/Theme Idea, and 3 Mutation Ideas. For +1 Roll.Event/series/theme Idea: A series of 'palate' adopts, all using the same colour palate employed in different ways.
3 Item Ideas: 'marking color changer' would change the color of a single marking on the body of the Grel. 'Animal companion' like the already-existing insect companion, but mammal-style. 'Bell Boots' that look just like the real life ones, and maybe boost your Grel's endurance stat during a show? As long as they're wearing them. Take them off, and the boost goes away. So the boost isn't genetic.
3 MORE Mutation ideas: an 'inversion' gene, not expressed by the Grel that carries it, but possible to pass to foals. It would cause said foals to have INVERTED colors. So, basically, do the design, based on the parents, then hit the 'invert colors' button. ;D
Different shaped ears - like bat ears, longer ears, rounder ears, shorter ears, rabbit-type ears... you know. Different ears.
Inability to collect souls - more a disability then anything else. Maybe a Grel could be born/made with the inability to take souls from other creatures? I know the mechanic isn't very useful right NOW, but in the future, something like this could be an interesting plot/lore device.
18. Give Suggestion on order of info in the new info thread. For +1 Roll.The back-story and history stuff should definitely be first, as it introduces the species and gives it a solid base to build on. Second should be the kindness levels, as they're very important to Grels as a whole. Third should be info on mutations. The info about shows, the new 'stat points' FOR the shows, and tack should come next. Then maybe link to the item thread/item usage thread.
Personally, I think the breeding info should be in the Nursery, maybe in the first or second post. There's no need for it to be in the info thread too, and putting it ONLY in the info thread makes it a bit hard to find. It would be much more accessible in the nursery itself.
19. 5 Suggestions for change or adding new info for new info thread. For +1 Roll. 20. Give 5 Creative Ideas to make people want work for Tokens. For +1 Roll.
