LOL! There are options that already exist without more changes.
Be sociable and just ask. The owner of the name can say yes or no.
Why is it so hard to grasp that some people just really don't want to be in a position where they're forced to ask someone?
I'm fine figuring out alternative names for horses, but if there's a name I'd really like to use but it's rotting away on an old gelding with a 0-0-0-0 $0 record, I just can't grasp a reason it shouldn't be automatically releasable.
Two questions for The Steward & Admin directly if they're paying attention to this thread. I don't want to keep beating a dead issue if it's just a non-starter.
1) Why have a Reserve A Name feature that costs game points if it's so easily exploitable and avoidable?
2) Tens of thousands of horses are being bred every year. Is it intended to have all those names completely locked up for nearly a real life decade?
Whether or not I get an answer here I'm done posting on this thread, don't think there's anything else I can really add or say. If it never changes I'll just reserve my names exclusively on pensioners from now on and save the 500GP.
