I gotta agree with Meeki on this.
I only have two Soq, but I don't consider myself a newbie. Grouping people up by how many Soq they have seems unnecessary to me. Those with upwards of 10+ Soquili have earned what they've gotten by entering countless breedings, contests, raffles and participating in events. Sure, they've also got luck on their side, but luck is just that -- luck. Do I feel discouraged when I lose raffle after raffle? Sure, but there's always next time.
By opening events that cater to people with a certain number of Soquili will only divide the shop up further and I think that's what Sirenz is trying to avoid at this point in time. I mean, if it was NECESSARY to change 'newbie' to having more than one Soquili, it should be a blanket number that all colorists should adhere to. Like 3 or less, 5 or less. I'm sketchy about going upwards of five, though. You are obviously NOT a newbie if you have more than five Soquili. :I

I don't think the problem is with the idea, but with the...carrying out?
Rules are nice, I like rules but at the same time you don't want to over-define things if that makes sense?
The reason I personally am for the 3-5 is a newbie or if you don't have any to yourself or any full-sized is because ther person who has...6 may want more to RP, but it's not fair to reposition the numbers so that newbies who have none or very few can't get as many or people who fall JUST past the category from getting some?
So really what I'm trying to say is that, a newbie is a newbie, but categories after that are taking away from others if that make sense?
What I'd be really interested in, is a flaffle or random prize for everyone who RP'ed in a month, but not given out every month, just random months so that you never know when it's going to be or whatever.
I like your point, it's really very kind but I just don't think that trying to figure out other categories before we have a set definition is good. Maybe after that depending on a newbie is. If a newbie is only ONE full owned or two, then I think there could be more merit for a not-quite a newbie slot.

Manda Okay admittedly the numbers I stated weren't exactly realistic. XD;; Yea I kind of agree that someone with close to 20 shouldn't have more of a chance. But okay. Say that a 'newbie' is someone with 1-3 Soqs - not minis, and not co-owned. For some people that's plenty of characters or whatever to own and RP. But some people would still want more and how is it 'fair' that they are forced to compete with people that already have 20+ Soqs? Why do those people constantly need more when there are people sitting around with only 3-4 that also want more and it may be harder for them, for various reasons. It just seems silly to me to complain about giving more chances to people with less than a larger majority of the shop-goers - whether the number they have is 3, 10, whatever XD; Sooo I still feel it would be nice for some people in that middle ground to have more opportunity. And I think having an overall shop definition of 'newbie' would help as well. Because a lot of people talk about 'well it's not fair to exclude someone who has more than 'x' amount of Soqs for someone who already has 3!' or whatever. However, some colorists already do that, because their definition of 'newbie' is 5 or fewer, or 10 or fewer or whatever. And no one really complains then. So what would be the big difference is saying 'these slots are for newbies with 3 or less' and 'these slots here are for people with 10 or less' etc?
Um.. Unless a mini is co-owned, I think it still counts as a full Soquili. I mean, yeah, it's 'smaller', but is still capable of doing everything like the regular sized minus the elder part.
Just because people are having little luck expanding their herds right away, I still don't think it's right to include and exclude people. From your own point of view, would you really do that if it was your shop?
People that keep getting more Soquili easily is because they have friends that give it to them or share it with them. I don't think they should be excluded from anything because of this.
The shop has been a matter of luck for a long time now. Everything takes time. Just because someone may want more, doesn't mean that they need it.
I do believe that the colorists and stuff are working to have more Soquili available, whether it be in flaffles, freebies, or auctions.

I think the random Rper thind would be good. 3nodding I think it would encourage more people to actually RP their soquili instead of having them collect dust in their teepee.
Im totally confused on what is or isn't a newbie. I have one soquili. In my book Im no longer a newbie now that I have one, is that what it actually is? Only if you have 0 or .5 a soquili are you a newbie?
