Hi.
My suggestion that I've got for the Quinsta is one I've been thinking about for a long time.
It involves a new breed, namely, Thoroughbreds.
I know usually that Quinsta has giveaways for new breeds, and usually Quinsta don't have items, but my idea is to have thoroughbreds coloured to match real life racehorses and wearing the colors and tack that they famously wear. There could be world famous race horses such as Secretariat, Man O'War, Phar Lap, Makybe Diva, Black Caviar, etc etc etc.
There could also be lesser known racehorses, such as Eight Belles (who died racing), and many others.
The race horse only event could include bribes or straight out USD purchases. It could also maybe include customs for the duration of the event, with a set price so maybe people could order particular racehorses that for whatever reason are particularly special to them (For people who may own OTTBs and know their horses racing colour, etc).
Part of the reason I'm suggesting it as a USD sale is tht I know miss Silvanon is in need of funds and this would be a fun, interesting collectible thread.
Of course, the normal thoroughbreds wouldn't have the tack, only the ones from the special bribe/buy sale....
But just an idea that sounded like it would be fun.
If the event ran for several weeks and they weren't hugely expensive, I know there are a few I would be interested in buying (Phar Lap, Kingston Town, my own horse who is an OTTB). And I know there is one Kahlira would like to have as well.... Most horsey people have t least one racehorse or another that they're interested in and follow... So it could be a fun event and make Silva a bit of dosh.
:) :D
I like this idea. :) Special tacked thoroughbreds based off race horses. :) There's one Id die to have. :) Ruffian. <3<3<3<3
As much as I'd love a Barbaro mimic, I hesitate to introduce an idea like this into Quinsta... If Silv was willing to do real life horse mimics for $USD, it seems like it would be simpler to just open up full customs with current lineart. And again, as much as I'd love a Sean mimic, I think that would somewhat kill Quinsta if we could order a dream horse just like that... The fun is breeding for a dream horse.
Maybe to incorporate your idea (once TB lines are released), if you breed a Quin that looks a lot like a RL racehorse, you could use a magic marking ticket to order that racehorse's tack? Although it does seem weird to me that one breed would have that perk and others wouldn't, and I can't think of a fluid way to incorporate the tack idea to the other breeds.
Just my $0.02 :)
As far as the tack idea, I do intend to create tack for use with the facebook game, and I'll be creating it at the Quinsta original size, so there will be some available eventually. But yeah, if you want a mimic of a real life racehorse you'll need to breed for it and then use a magic marking ticket to make it look exactly like.
I may be willing to sell some sort of custom line-edit ticket, too, for people wanting custom tack. Not just at this moment, though. XD Right now I'm swamped with coding the FB game, and I'm in a rush on it because next month I'll be swamped with another move.
Aahh, that makes sense. ^^ Nevermind then
