Registries Discussion

And names? Again, for the sake of preventing people from stealing affixes and to prevent people from using unregistered affixes, but also to make sure names are not inappropriate or misspelled. Reviewers would have to give a reason why a name was not accepted so owners could make revisions.

Farm Name Prefixes will be a game-wide thing, not a registry specific thing.
Inappropriate names should be reported to me, or a mod, and again not handled through the registry.
I don't want reviewers to not allow a horse to be registered because of it's name. So there can be naming suggestions, but ultimately it's up to the player who owns the horse what they want to name it.

Yes, they are game wide, but there should be some way to prevent players who have not payed for their affixes from putting them in the registered names of their horses, otherwise what's the point of having it as a paid perk? It could be as simple as saying "horse names may not include any part of a farm's name" in the naming rules, along with the "no profanity, etc." clause.

The barn prefix will be separated visually from the name. It will be easy to tell when someone is using a prefix as part of the name instead of as a registered prefix. There is no need for rules. It won't matter if someone uses a prefix falsly because it will be completely obvious to everyone.

Okay

Partial Registered Status
Registered Status
Horses who’s parents are both Approved Status, they are automatically entered into the registry but must still be inspected to become Approved Status
Horses who are first generation crosses
Purebred foals with one Approved parent and one Partial parent

How will the foals of Registered but not Approved parents be handled?

Active Registry Member
A member who owns at least one registered horse even if they did not breed that horse themselves.

Registry Member
A player who has paid the fee to join the registry, anyone may join.

Differences?

If both parents are Registered but not Approved then the foal would simply be Registered as well. If the foal goes through the inspection and qualifies for then it could be upgraded to Approved.

The difference is that a regular member might not have any registered horses. Perhaps they did in the past but for whatever reason they don't own a registered horse currently but still want to be a member of the registry. They could leave if they choose too.

Finally found the Irish Draught inspection score card. I like how detailed it is, while still remain qualitative so horses don't become numbers. The graphical visual is also a nice touch.

That is kind of cool. I'll see if I can integrate something like that.
