Majority of the mod staff are english or atleast fluently speak it as a second language, it is easier for modding and controling situations that everything public is in english, youre allowed to speak whatever language you wish in your game mail

Yes well many people who speak in different languages say their language is the best lol. My Grandpa (Who is full french Canadian) when he was learning english was like, "French doesn't have all the words that look alike at the end but sound different like "Through, Cough, Though, etc etc." lol

Horse games are pretty much a niche, there are not many options by default.
But English is a very popular and should be a second language to a lot of people.

This is an English-speaking game developed and hosted by English-speaking people. There will be plenty of games in other languages for non-English speakers I'm sure. I wouldn't know since there's no point in looking for games in languages you don't speak

Well I am not sure about the game translating. Perhaps they use the whatever-their-language-is- to -english thingy lol.

Lynx- I am 1/4 French Canadian but I can really only say "Hello" "My name is" and "Yes" in French lol. I used a translator for the stuff after "Hello"(The french hello) lol

Oh absolutely, I can totally see that.

Thing is, supporting other languages means also having staff that speaks their language to help them out, as well as having different communities. It's a massive project that could easily get out of hand.

Breed-ability July 5, 2017 01:42 AM

Can I get feedback on if the thought process here flows? Or doesn't flow. Just want to know that I make sense.

Well I think it’s time we have this discussion. At what point do the following factors faults that don’t impede function and are superficial, bloodline, temperament, and the breed’s needs dictate a horse’s breed-ability?

Let us define terms. Faults we understand as any issue that may be lethal, impede function, superficial flaws, or stand against the breed standard. For this thought experiment, I’d like to focus on the issues that are superficial. I will further define those issues as follows. A horse with an ewe neck that is not severe, but noticeable. Such an animal can safely and successfully go onto a lifelong career. A short hip, little long in the back, a shorter neck are things that for this experiment will be deemed superficial.There are numerous other superficial flaws. It is understood that while some issues can cause irreparable issues to the longevity and use of a horse, we focus on only the superficial ones and levels of certain issues.

If we are, in fact, breeding for the good of the breed over the long-term how do we measure our risk factors? Bloodlines are important.Horses are impacted by the economy, environment, and life just as much as people. Some lines thrive and others dwindle. We decide it is worth it to bring back a bloodline or cultivate a new one. Temperament can measure whether a horse even gets bred at all (insert laughter due to well-placed joke). In this day and age, while we do have ways around temperament in our horses, we do not breed solely for ourselves, but promotion of the breed. Then there is the question of what the breed as a whole needs to continue into the future and not die out.

These are factors that include a deal of risk and future-forward thinking. How breeders weigh each of these factors and the risks associated will vary for each individual. We can look at a pedigree and love an animal. We can over-look a pedigree and fall for a sweet temperament. Conformation flaws can be overlooked as well. Yet, each of these factors can be “under-looked”. We can dislike a particular temperament, pedigree, or flaw and still breed the animal. There is wiggle room in some instances, the question is defining that wiggle room. It is finding those times when one factor is so worth the risk and chance that we try anyway because it simply is worth it. Then we have to question and define what “worth” is.

Worth is a harder term to define, therefore, I do digress to the original question: at what point do the following factors faults that don’t impede function and are superficial, bloodline, temperament, and the breed’s needs dictate a horse’s breed-ability?
