Re: One Small Thing
You know what would actually be incredible?
Some of us moldy oldies may remember that Abe used to compile workout data: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24163
This was SO useful -- way more useful for middle-of-the-road horses than trying to compare their times to the top 50. I'm sure it would be impossible for a player to compile information like this now, with so many more horses and workouts in the game.
Would love to see data available for even the 5th and 25th percentiles of workout times. Would help newer players and players that are unfamiliar with a given division see where their horse might fit.

Re: One Small Thing
This isn't necessarily small, but I think the SIM rules need an update because rules like this still exist:
Also this one about leaving the game:
Both of these rules tie into partnerships which are now obviously allowed in the SIM.10. You may not form clique groups that are created for the purpose of one set of players becoming vastly more powerful than the rest. Because you may not have more than one account, you cannot create a second account where horses held by several players are deposited.
11. You may not share horses or monetary earnings as if the horse is owned by two people - aka if a horse wins you cannot pass half of the earnings on to someone else, or any percentage. This includes stud fees as well.
Also this one about leaving the game:
Whereas now there are dispersal auctions for ALL players.Your horses will be dispersed on the New Player Sales Page for $1,000 each after a final 7 day warnings.

Re: One Small Thing
So I want a way to search claimer races but exclude certain ones as opposed to only search for certain ones. For Example: Search for all claimers for the day minus maidens.Mike Springer wrote: ↑3 years agoThe Steward wrote: ↑3 years ago Please stay on topic with this thread - no bumps, repeat requests, etc. This is THE thread we pull updates from, and it needs to stay on topic.

Re: One Small Thing
Could more information be added to the auction outbid messages. Would be nice to have the name of the auction in the message instead of just "this auction" and also would be nice to have time remaining (at time of message being sent). That way if you get messages on phone/e-mail you have a bit more information without clicking links to know if this is a deal with no outbid or deal with latter.

Re: One Small Thing
Is there anyway ask equipment/soundness could be no longer a clickable option for a horse once you have said information. In a recurring theme of my one small things I tend to click without thinking/taking my time and have more times than once wound up doing secondary equipment/soundness checks by accident when training/vet checking.

Re: One Small Thing
For me, soundness isn't an option anymore once I've checked it? I agree it wouldn't hurt to be like that for equipment as well, thoughTammy Stawicki wrote: ↑3 years ago Is there anyway ask equipment/soundness could be no longer a clickable option for a horse once you have said information.

It seems it isn't an option for a single horse but is an option if you select multiple horses at once (even if all horses individually have been soundness checked)

Re: One Small Thing
Since were able to set multiple types for stallions now, can we please make it so that we can filter dual surface studs in the stud book? (So I can search for TS/TM studs easier )

Re: One Small Thing
You know how we get pointless messages about pension horses? How about pointless messages for us the trainer.
“Wow! You whopped datass last night!”
“Congrats on passing another milestone!”
“You are one onry sumbitch!”
“Keep it up, don’t get you head down!”
“You lose some den you lose some more, ya?”

Re: One Small Thing
Admittedly not sure if this is possible but would there be a way to populate the owner field for deceased horses in the ranking pages (maybe with last owner or owner when they retired?) just think it would be nine to get a feel for how many horse someone truly has on the list.

Re: One Small Thing
One possible money maker or sim money extractor : pay the computer to cough up three stallion suggestions for a mare, say in three price ranges. would not have to guarantee any breeding, but give some suggestions that may increase the odds for a breeder.
I also think we should limit the number of foals produced by each player. Then we could pay a fee to produce any over that limit.
