I've had this happen a couple of times - almost quit the game over one, I was sooo tied up with getting a filly over a certain threshold. I can only imagine what it felt like back when bad things happened in races.Cleo Patra wrote: ↑10 months ago I'm not going to sponsor another one because the same thing will happen again and I don't want to be angry with people when they aren't deliberately messing with me and definitely aren't breaking any rules.

Its a stupid thing to be angry and sad about, but I am. I just needed to get it off my chest so I don't rage quit or protest pension all my stallions or something equally stupid. Also I need a hug. Don't tie RL emotional stuff into fake horses, people. BAD plan.
I've pulled back and don't get as emotional - but unfortunately, it also dampens some of the joy.
