I hope it's alright for me to post here, but anyways, I have a suggestion for the way slots work.

My idea is this. After you've filled your slots (the four slots and one nursery slot), a year after you've won the latest bean, you could adopt another. And then a year after that, another. It's a large enough wait to balance things out, I believe, and would allow for more slots xD

So let's say that this was a rule. The last bean I adopted was Kilogram, 558. I won her on August 21st. If this rule were in act, then I would be eligible to win another/have a baby bean, if I wanted, August 21st 2014. And then, let's say I won a bean the October after I became eligible. Let's say, October 15th. Then that would reset the date, and I would be able to adopt another on October 15th, 2015.

There could be a limit for how many times you can do this, but since it's an entire year between them, you probably wouldn't have too many people with more than 5 for a long time. The way this could factor in with staff is that they either have a shorter wait (6 months?)/don't have to wait in addition to their current 6 bean limit.

Just an idea. x3 Thanks for listening. ^^

I don't have five beans yet, but I love that idea! Especially for nursery beans <3

I would agree with this, but maybe have them, or every other one of them, be a nursery slot? Personally I feel like four normally adopted beans is plenty, but I can only have a baby from one of my other four beans, since I only have one slot left. Also, for my beans' babies, it would be a real comfort to have them go to an owner I can trust to take care of them well, but the number of those people is limited because some of them already have slots filled. Just my two cents. c:

Or, even better, it could be a regular OR nursery slot, if possible?

I like this better because if it was an adoptable slot I think it would be harder for non-owners to achieve a JBD since the more experienced winners know really what certain artist are looking for because of there past win.

I think I speak for all of us non-owners when I say “It should be somehow easier to get a bean it seems that every time we try out for one we put are heart and soul into it yet, it always ends up someone else always wins. Some one always comes before us; its like an endless line. I’ve been waiting in this line for almost two years now
and I’m not off yet, so… Where does this line ᴇɴᴅ?
if you were looking for a sign, this is it.
this is your closure.

I was thinking of something the other day that might help with this..

Okay so says there's a number, like 3 for example. So for every 3rd bean there's one that is for non owners only. You know, just to give non owners a lil bit of a nudge to getting their first bean. The number doesn't have to be 3, it could be 5 or what ever number the staff decide on if they take my idea on board.

Just my little suggestion. Hope we can get more non owners (like myself) the bean they have bean dreaming of.

Thank you!

I agree as well; of all the Beans I've applied for, I've only lost maybe one or two to non-owners; all other winners have been owners with three and four Beans already. It's extremely frustrating, as I only apply to Beans I connect with and can actually turn into a character, and after so many forms it just starts draining your muse. I've lost both my primary and secondary dream Beans, as well as at least 19 others that I loved and connected with. This isn't a "pity party", please don't take it that way, but maybe non-owners should have some special considerations? Or at least more Beans released solely for non-owners?

EDIT: Ninja'd. But Blazzing Wolf has the perfect idea.
