Re: “ I will just put it out there if you personally don’t want me or any other player to use your studs just let me know … “. Oh my, this is not now or never has been my intention to exclude any SIM player. Quite the opposite actually_> my hope has always been to include as many SIM players as I can through various means without over saturation of the market. x.Z, you have been quite gracious in your praise of the fun way I have handled Dave Matthews Band.

Wow, I'm guessing that if he was open he would probably be among the best stallions the sim has ever seen.

Then why do you tell people no when they ask to breed to DMB?Jon Xett wrote: ↑2 years ago Re: “ I will just put it out there if you personally don’t want me or any other player to use your studs just let me know … “.

Re: What do you do when a stallion is closed?
And that was just cus I didn't know the SIM had him blocked. I still don't get why he is the only stallion in my barn that automatically goes to 120/120 booked when the year turns over. None of my others do it. Its weird.Cleo Patra wrote: ↑2 years agoMe 3.
But limits have barely affected me other than the VERY rare stallion like DMB. That said, one time Summerland was accidentally blocked out (when bookings first came out) and I got a better foal from a different stallion than I got from him from the same mare in a different year. So its not always a bad thing to be "forced" to look elsewhere (even though I could have messaged Nena and probably would have if it wasn't my first foal of the year that I wanted to breed RIGHT then). I also actively choose to try to make my major horses outcrosses. I'm more likely to use those "super" sires for a bad mare with a backclass pedigree than one of my best mares. Because I know that in 10 years I'll be screaming at the screen when I try to breed them and everything is related. So there are definite positives to the stallion limits for me personally.
I don't usually message people for spots because usually when I'm breeding I have time to be breeding RIGHT THEN and I don't want to forget why I selected a cross and what gender I wanted for my breeding program.

Re: What do you do when a stallion is closed?
By people do you mean you? Since the advent of the Game point stallion slots, Please tell me who I said No to when they asked me for a DMB stallion slot? Show me the message and I’ll do right by you x4 at the minimum fee.Dylan Christensen wrote: ↑2 years agoThen why do you tell people no when they ask to breed to DMB?Jon Xett wrote: ↑2 years ago Re: “ I will just put it out there if you personally don’t want me or any other player to use your studs just let me know … “.

Re: What do you do when a stallion is closed?
I'm sure Dylan and Jon can work this out in private.
SIM's Stance is that you may stand your stallion however you wish. If you want to breed 120 foals yourself and none for others, that's fine. If you want to give every single person one foals, that's fine. If you want him to have 100000 foals that's fine.
We will update the verbiage on that Help section to explain what we meant, that you do not have to ask to access an available stallion, you can just do it, since it is from the very old days when you DID have to ask another player/The Steward before breeding.
