For reference this is how I ran it before

I think Id need at least 10 people to be interested before I ran it again.

Basically its a competition I made to help people with their searches, and there's an even playing field for newer players and more established players. One player is the "representative" of another players and picks 5 of the other person prettiest horses. Previously it was a ginormous hit.

Newamber · Mar 19, 2024 3:50 PM

I would love to participate!

StormwoodFarm · Mar 19, 2024 3:55 PM

This sounds fun!

OldCat · Mar 19, 2024 5:37 PM

I'm in but might need some definitions.

Minute · Mar 19, 2024 6:07 PM

I'm in but clueless. I'll read the materials

MF3 · Mar 19, 2024 6:53 PM

I’ll play!

Seaswell · Mar 19, 2024 8:50 PM

I'm in. I love drooling over other people's horses.

Summervine · Mar 20, 2024 1:48 AM

That looks like so much fun! I'd love to play :D

HighstormFarm · Mar 20, 2024 4:05 AM

This looks fun :)

Duven · Mar 20, 2024 12:37 PM

This does sound fun. It's a great idea to get comfortable with the search page too.

whywishesarehorses · Mar 20, 2024 2:43 PM

Could be fun!

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Mar 22, 2024 8:50 AM

Okay that's enough people. Now I'm just trying to figure out correct timing for everything. I don't want the sign ups to be too long before the competition because people might forget about it. But I don't think there's enough time to manage sign ups and searches before the end of this month. But id like the "searching" phase to start after halfway through the month so there's plenty of foals to pick through.

Seaswell · Mar 22, 2024 9:38 AM

Open the thread on the 9th to start on the 14th after auto pastures start. To end on the 21st, so it's over before rollover.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Mar 22, 2024 10:01 AM

Works for me.

Sign ups April 9th.
Searches/entries 14-21st.
Voting 21-25
Prizes 26th

Seaswell · Mar 22, 2024 1:03 PM

I'm donating to the prize pot. I'll message you.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Mar 22, 2024 1:22 PM

Perfect thank you! Ill match that with a million as well but might be more later

BoredCowgirl · Mar 31, 2024 2:51 PM

I’ll play! I’d be happy to donate to the prize pot as well.

BoredCowgirl · Apr 12, 2024 9:29 AM

Is this still happening?

ZenCorgi · Apr 12, 2024 11:36 AM

I'd be interested in playing if it's not too late. I've been playing just over a year and have approximately 2400 horses.

whywishesarehorses · Apr 12, 2024 11:46 AM

I'd play in the experienced level! I am also happy to contribute to the pot, too.

Seaswell · Apr 12, 2024 12:35 PM

Let's sign up and if we haven't heard from HUSG by the 15th I'll draw IDs and hopefully they turn up for judging.

ZenCorgi · Apr 12, 2024 1:33 PM

Same, I'd like to participate, but only saw this post today.

Duven · Apr 12, 2024 3:39 PM

I'm in!

TripleGRanch · Apr 12, 2024 7:46 PM

I'm game as well

Newamber · Apr 13, 2024 9:52 AM

Me too!

Seaswell · Apr 15, 2024 2:40 PM

I'm quoting HUSG here so we all know the rules.

"Yes, get the links from your 5 favorite horses (that still fit into the requirements). Just like you would normally post on the forum. I like to clarify picture link as you want to see the picture without having to go to another page. Still want it to be a link so you can double check what there is.

Yes, one forum comment.

3 lined horses. (So up to 2 foundations permissible)
2 foals
2 adults
1 mare/filly
1 stallion/colt
2 altered
3 "home" bred/created horses
3 completely open/unrestricted/nonfantasy genes. (So 2 horses may have closed genes)"

Now on to the match ups.
~Row A will pick and post from Row B.
~Everyone who commented they wanted to play in this thread is included.
~Everyone who posts will get a prize.
~The top 3 comments Thanked by the community will receive the remainder of the prize pot in a 50%, 30%, 20% split.
~You can vote for as many as you want, but please only use one account to vote.

@Duven, just a tip… you really should color test and register all your horses… that’s how you win GMT tokens from showing.

Thanks @BoredCowGirl! I had a nagging thought that I needed to do that but am trying to save up hbs for more barn space.
I'm sorry if this made it more difficult for you.

Duven · Apr 16, 2024 1:21 PM

@whywishesarehorses, I think you were supposed to pick from Hunterundersadllegirl's barns. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm happy to go through HUSG's barn instead.

I only noticed because Future Weapon was on my short list! Nice foal!

Also, for the newbies...how do we 'thank' a comment?

Minute · Apr 16, 2024 1:23 PM

@duven to thank a comment click on thanks which is on the same line as a commenter's name

Duven · Apr 16, 2024 1:25 PM

Maybe I need to do that on desktop? I'll check it out there when I can. Thanks!

TripleGRanch · Apr 16, 2024 1:29 PM

You can go down at the far right bottom of page and click 'Full Site' if on mobile to get the 'Thanks' link.

@zencorgi voting is just for fun, I have a feeling the participation prize is the real prize in this game that's why there is no limit on how many you can vote for. You can even vote for your own horses.

In case anyone else doesn't know. If you scroll down to the bottom of the forum, in the right hand corner is the option for Full Site on your phone. This makes it so you can Thank a post.

Newamber · Apr 18, 2024 9:23 PM

@Summervine your post was just the best, after a long day at work it made me smile! =D>

Alrighty folks, late this evening long after all sensible people were past going to bed, I took a little stroll into Summervine's barns. Now I may have snuck in the back pasture (the one with the gate that's got the green baling twine holding it closed) and wandered around (aka snooped). But despite my appearance, (which is sketchy) and my timing (suspicious), I touched nothing and disturbed no one, (With the exception of that gate, but I closed it immediately after which has to count for something).

Anyhow, these delightful cuties have captured my eye, so now it's time to share them with y'all!

1 Homebred, lined, altered, unrestricted, mare

SV Postal
Isn't her armor amazing? She even tried to bite me when I wandered too close to her stall.

2 Homebred, lined, altered, unrestricted, colt

SV Toasted Moon
I had to check his genes, his color's so intense that I could hardly believe my own eyes!

3 Homebred, lined, unaltered, open, filly

SVx Ready To Learn
I'm a sucker for a dappled liver, she's just darling!

4 Homebred, lined, unaltered, fantasy, 2g chimera stallion

02xSV Summerwyld
This fella has it all, he's got looks that would make a gal sigh, an amazing variety of genes as a second gen chimera, AND he's descended from BLACKWYLD stock! (I'm just gonna bask in his glory)

5 Homebred, fondation, fantasy, stallion

01SVY Flowercore
This one though.... swoon.

Well, now that I have stalked the stables, giving each horse a carrot as a bribe to keep quiet, (or in the mare's case to not bite me) I shall now go to bed. I bid you adieu. :-h

Summervine · Apr 18, 2024 10:13 PM

@Newamber awww lovely to have you lurking about :D @};-

BoredCowgirl · Apr 19, 2024 8:04 AM

@Newamber I love what you did there, but I think you got it mixed up… I believe you were supposed to pick through my stable.

Summervine · Apr 19, 2024 10:52 PM

Looks like @MF3 was supposed to do mine, perhaps they'd be willing to do @BoredCowgirl instead?

Newamber · Apr 20, 2024 5:30 AM

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I didn't read the whole list! X_X
