HEIGHTS

[glamourkills]

Okay, excuse the language, but I'm pissed off that many members cannot even get a horse's HEIGHT right and gets accepted. I know I'm only a mod, but I really think we shouldn't be so lienient about accepting characters. You say this is realistic, right? So why let characters be OUTRAGEOUSLY incorrect about heights?

As a suggestion, I think we should put up a list of average height ranges for common breeds so that members do not get this wrong. This is just something that really gets on my nerves.

The reason why I accept the characters with the heights is because this is a WILD horse RPG. To my thinking the horse that has joined may be of a sertin breed but it is not going to be within the strict lines of the pedegree because HUMANS are not selectivly breeding them.

Think about it. The only reason why there are height requirments is for HUMAN purposes. PEOPLE prefure 'perfection' but we are not aiming for perfection here.

I can understand how this upsets you Glam though, so to make it up to you I could always do a poll to decide what the Rpers want. For strict height requirments or against them, allowing people to choose what their wild horse looks like.

I agree with trill as well. I mea the heighst have to be resonalea pony suldnt e like 17 hh but as far as the breed standed ges this is a wild rpg

[glamourkills]

right, WILD horses. a wild horse will never get over 17 hands, a wild horse isn't going to be a gypsy vanner or a draft horse of any kind. an arabian can't survive in a forest so techinically, restrictions on height requirements isn't the strictest thing we could do. letting anyone have any kind of breed is being pretty non-realistic.

but yeah i agree, a poll would be cool.

ok i wll go make the poll
