Tutorial Tweak and/or Competition Clean-up

[Silverine]

So recently I helped a new player navigate our cluttered competitions.

As an experienced player, I do not have a problem ignoring the ancient, unfillable competitions and finding ones that fit my needs. (The link on the horse profile is perfect if I'm only entering one horse!) But the clutter can definitely be confusing for newbies.

So! I have two suggestions:

One: rework the "enter a competition" part of the tutorial to primarily direct the player to the link on the horse's profile, rather than the link in the sidebar. This will allow the player to easily find a competition their horse is eligible for. It could then direct them to the other link after entry just to make sure they know where it is.

Two: clean up all of the ancient, unfillable competitions. Especially the ones for geldings only. I don't have as much of an issue with the breed-specific ones as those could eventually be run. But, as it is, the competitions for only geldings serve no purpose and create needless clutter.

I absolutely think that any competition that hasn't run in the past 6 months or more, could be cleaned up!

Agree.

Rewording the tutorial would be the most direct way to circumvent the current issue. And probably also the quickest.

Also, I need to add, that I had been playing... for literally years... until I learned, rather, FOUND that little nice direct-competitions link right on the horse's profile. And yes, after finding it, I indeed felt like an absolute idiot.

The six month limit we seem to have recently, feels like a good overall for the game.
