It's Howrse again.

01/10/2012

A game I'm addicted to that no one else will have heard of.

Most General :
how many days have you been registered? 480

what is your ranking today? 2314th. It went wayyy down (almost 100) because I stopped playing for a few days, and now I'm slowing getting it back up.

how many karma points do you have? 45

how many congratulations do you have? 4,601

what is your equestrian center's name? Silvercreek Acres

what riding level have you reached? They don't do riding levels anymore, but I reached the top one before they were taken down.

what is your job (level)? Saddler, in my own equestrian centre.

how much equus do you have at present? 2 142 707. Woot! I hit 2 million yesterday.

how many horses do you own at present? 68, with one for sale.

what breed do you breed the most? I have the most Shetlands right now, and have just started breeding Donkeys as well. I did Arabians for a while, but lost interest because they're so popular, and I've been getting out of them.

have you bought passes before? Yeah, I've spent way too much real money on this game.

which obejctive are you on right now? 67, 69, and 92. I don't really focus on the objectives anymore, since I'm not likely to do any of the three things I need to for those objectives.

what is your time & the game time? My time zone is five hours behind game time.

Continuing onto your game :

is there one howrse thats very special to you? I have a few. Fiddler's Green because she's my Fifth Element horse. Grapefruit Moon is my favourite Shetland. And Cassio, because he's the first Donkey I got to over 400 in skills and he wins lots of competitions. Oh, and Isis, because she is my girl. Her skills aren't all that high anymore compared to what younger horses have, but she still wins mostly 1sts.

do you breed for fun or take part in the gp race? I don't take part in the GP race. It's gotten so ridiculous over the past 6 months I would have to spend hours a day on the game just to keep up.

how many breeding farms do you have? Seven.

what are they sorted by? Breeds mostly. They are Fleetwood Arabians, Sable Mountain Shetlands, Splashbacks and Snowflakes (for Paints and Appaloosas), This Vicious Cabaret (for Donkeys), and the standard "Horses without a breeding farm" which has all my random breeds in it. The other two farms are For Sale for the horses for sale (obviously) and Pass Horses for those I'm aging to get passes from when they die.

what is your favourtie affix of yours? †ɧĩ§-ṿĩcĩσυ§-ḉαβαя€† - it's for my Donkeys, and I've been focusing on them most lately.

how many howrses do you have up for sale? One

about how many howrses do take care of per day? It varies a lot. Somedays it's one or two just so I can get paid for my job and appear in the rankings. Other days I can do 30+ horses.

which was the last one you took care of? Orpheus

do you own a divine? I have three. Emerald, Topaz, and Greyfell. I think they are the three most useless divines, LOL. Still cool to have them though. They're not as rare as they used to be, but it's still difficult to get hold of one.

do you own a special? No.

do you own a unicorn? Yeah.

do you own an elemental coat or splint boot howrse? Yesh, Fiddler's Green has a water element on her. I keep getting offers on her, but I am not selling her ever.

do you own a set of twins? No. I've bred several sets but I always keep one and sell the other. Their GPs and stats are identical, so I don't see the point in owning two copies of the same horse.

do you have more then one pegasus? Yeah

do you have howrses with golden or diamond apple coats? A lot of my horses have Golden Apple coats; at least, the ones with the most potential. I don't have any Diamond Apple Coats unfortunately.

do your horses have alot of black market items? Some of them do.

what is the most useful blackmarket item to you? Nyx Pack, but it's expensive. I also like the Poseiden Pack.

do you still have your first howrse? I do. I rarely do anything with her anymore, but she is my first Fleetwood Arabian so I can't sell her.

are your horses mostly purebred or crossbred? Purebred. I geld my crossbred males and don't really breed my crossbred mares. Mostly just use them for competitions. I like my horses purebred.

what was the last competition you took part it? I don't know. I have lots of them from different horses waiting to finish right now.

which was the last foal you produced? A Shetland colt from my mare Violet, but I sold him.

the last howrse you bought? Hmm, good question. I haven't bought a new horse in a while. The newest might be Elliot, who is a Donkey stallion.

the last howrse you sold? Her name was Dreams Come True. She was an Arabian given to me by another player as a gift. I sold her because she was over 30 years, would die soon anyway, and people will pay a lot of money for a pass horse. That's how I hit 2 million

the last black market item you puchased? Another month on the Pegasus account. I haven't bought a BMI in a while because I have tons in my inventory from all the promotions of the last few months. I'm trading and giving away the ones I have no use for, and am stockpiling the others.

About your Equestrian Center:

the inspiriation for the name was? When I was a kid and wrote about horses, the name of the stable was always Silvercreek Acres or Blackcreek stables for some reason. They were also the names of all my SIM stables when I used to play that. So I dunno...it was just a throwback to those days LOL. I decided I liked the sound of Silvercreek better than Blackcreek, so I went with that.

what is the prestige & ranking? Its ranking is 3,440th. Its prestige is only 61.88 because I keep my skill requirements low and cater to foundation horses and young higher GP horses.

what type & how many boxes are there? There are 55 boxes and they vary in size depending on how many equus I had in the bank when I bought them.

what is the minimum skill level to enter? 300

what is the price? 15e per day

what is the price & skill gain of your lessons? The price is 48e and the skill gain is 0.235.

how many carrots do you have in stock? 12,552. LOL. I grow them every spring.

how many helth mashes do have? 470

are there any pets? No such thing as pets anymore I miss the rabbits.

how many howrses & available boxes are there? There are no available boxes. They fill really quickly because there aren't a lot of high-quality stables that have such a low skill requirement.

is your e.c private? No but I do have five boxes reserved for my own horses.

how many meadows do you have for pasture? Lots. I don't feel like counting.

are you growing anything at present? Just apples since they do that automatically every month. But no, it's winter on the game and my greenhouse is recovering fertility from the last crop.

what rating is the quality of the resident howrses? I don't know! I had a complete brain fart (ew, that expression always makes me cringe a bit) and don't remember where I go to check this. It's not in the EC rankings..

which is your best running competition? Well my favourite is "The Silhouette Crows" which is a show jumping competition reserved for rookie Donkeys. It runs every day because I can put my own young Donkeys in it...and I get 500e every time it runs because it's reserved for rookies. Yes, I am a greedy miser on this game.

Opinions:
your opinion on karma and its effect? I see why it is useful, but I don't necessarily see how buying passes makes you any more trustworthy in dealings with fellow players and don't think the karma should go up so much for that. It's handy if you see someone with 90+ days with a karma of 0 or 1 though. Then you know they fucked up somewhere and you probably don't want to deal with them.

your opinion on the safe haven? I like it. I don't see why people protest about sending pixel horses to a pixel haven if they can't use or sell them.

your opinion on the gp race? Ridiculous! Right? It's been frustrating me lately. It didn't get this insane until about 6 months ago. I remember things being more relaxed in that aspect when I first joined.

your opinion on 0 gp breeding? I seriously don't get the point.

your opinion on passes & pass puchasing? Passes are how Howrse makes enough money to operate, so I support pass buying and I indulge myself sometimes. Okay, maybe more than I should. They just come in so handy haha.

your opinion on availability on divine howrses? They are getting WAY too common now, and it seems like new ones are coming out all the time. It's not as big a deal to own one as it used to be. I've seen players that have been on the game less than 35 days with divines; I didn't get my first until over 400 days of seniority and the expenditure of real money. I honestly think I deserve a divine way more because I had to work for it, while they did nothing as a newbie and lucked out. For something that is supposed to be rare, it doesn't seem right that people that don't work for a divine can get one.

your opinion on trading black market items? I love it. I was so happy when they put the exchanges in. It was always nerve-wracking having to trade blind with someone not knowing whether they're just going to steal your item and not send back. Luckily I was never screwed over like that, but I've read too many stories, and....well, I prefer the exchanges. It's also really handy to give out the prizes for my giveaways.

your opinion on affixes? I have one for each of the breeds I have focused on. So I like them, as long as people don't go crazy with them. And actually, it's easier to identify which horses are likely to be competition for your horses when signing them up, once you get familiar with the best affixes that go with each breed.

your opinion on howrse in general? Love it. Of course. I just did a whole survey about it LOL
