Official Update to the thread:
If you are going to comment on this thread and the original post, please feel free to do so! Just please keep from spamming the thread with the same thing over and over that has already been posted in the past 5 pages. Bring something *new* to the table!
Colorists are free to do as they wish (as far as I know) and can hold slots how they choose. Some ideas were brought up, and some staff liked the initial idea of this thread, so here are some ideas that maybe people will want to consider for their own slots.
As always, please be polite c: This is a suggestion forum, and this thread was created as a suggestion. This isnt a place to beat people over the head or demean them or their ideas because you dont agree. Also, this is a feedback forum for people to talk freely, if you dont like the topic or think it should be dropped, then simply dont come into the thread. ♥
Some popular thoughts:
(Please note, I gathered these from the posts of others, these are not necessarily how I think/feel.)
- LL and RP slots should still be counted as extra slots for all that hard hard work that people have put in. They deserve it!
- Minis, being more popular now, as well as with the new sub-species, are no longer so outnumbered anymore and maybe should have their special slots re-considered.
- Perhaps there should be an edited category instead of an 'open'?
Please read the quote below for the original post c:
Quote: I would like to suggest that when entering a breeding raffle, that ALL couples get ONE chance per raffle.
It seems that depending on the kind of couple you have, you could have up to 5 chances alone with that couple, while some are limited to only one.
Example:
The breeder has a slots for 1 mini, 1 rp, 1 unedited, 1 ll and 1 open.
Well, if your a seathi/usdia couple who has RPed, your unedited AND youre LL you get 5 chances in the raffle.
While if your an edited regular couple without RP or LL, you have one.
This seems very unfair and I would like to see everyone get the same chances as everyone else, without discriminating against a couple just because of edits/rp/size, etc. If you enter a raffle under a certain category, you get entered in THAT category, not all the others as well.
It will be like customs, you choose which category you want to be in. You dont get to reap the benefits of all of them and 'change your form accordingly'.

When you're in the open category with an edited couple that doesn't have low luck, doesn't RP, or isn't a mini, it can be really overwhelming because your chances of winning feel so low. And maybe you're one of those people who doesn't have time to RP/doesn't want to RP/doesn't enjoy RPing.
I think this is a good idea because if you're low luck or RP you still have a significantly better chance than edited or even unedited regular couples if you enter the right category. So, you could look at the odds and decide which one is better for you and enter that category. But your odds don't skyrocket to the point that it feels unfair to other people.
Although if colorists wanted to keep the distinction between edited, unedited, and mini for their own purpose (they don't have as much time or feel more inspired towards coloring an unedited, etc), I think it could still be okay. Someone with an unedited couple could enter the unedited slots, but only get that one ticket, not a ticket for open, as well. (As I see it, 'open' could be eliminated in the case of differentiation between unedited and edited.)

Tbh I prefer the system as it is - I currently have two couple trying for slots, and one of them is unedited & rp'ed, the other is edited & a non-rp fling - it's never once bothered me that on occasion one couple has 'slightly' more chance than the other as it's still down to the RNG (and I do mean slightly more, my rp'ed couple is nearing LL status)
I know it's frustrating trying, it really can be, but I think if people are only allowed to enter one category it could make it more so. That's just my opinion anyways.
edit: And yes, I agree that the current system could be called unfair against those with neither time nor inclination to rp, but what it really does boil down to is luck of the draw. You could be in the smallest list ever but unless you're the only entry you aren't guaranteed to win. Limited categories fairer yes, but leading to having to try many times anyway.
And I would have to agree about the LL thing, if you're hitting 30+ times of entry and your chances are limited it's only going to make it doubly frustrating.
Unfortunately, not everyone can win and there are so very many couples trying at any one time, there's always going to be vexation etc

I don't think slightly is necessarily the right word, since, using the last breeding run as an example, the difference in categories is rather large. Open had approx 200 entries, unedited approx 50, RP approx 20, LL approx 30, and mini approx 15.
If the breeding had been run using this suggestion, it would have been 85 edited, 50 unedited, 20 RP, 30 LL, and 15 mini. While this is not exactly equal, it seems much fairer to me. And I personally believe that this would cut down on frustration, not increase it.
Although I also agree with Neza's suggestion about two chances for LL.

To be honest I have no real input on how this would go. Either way someone is going to be mad, someone is going to complain, someone it going to call it unfair, because you just can't make everyone happy all of the time, which has been proven time and time again, especially here.
However, either way, breedings are breedings, someone wins, someone loses, I would be fine with either set up. But as Neza stated, if anything LL pairs should have that "extra boost in luck" and be allowed to not only enter for a LL slots, but another slot of their choice.
Really, it is always the choice of the colorist as to which slots they want to do. If they want to do all LL slots, their choice. If they want to do all unedit, their choice. All open, fine. It all depends on the colorists, what they believe they can do with the free time they have, and the demand for the slots.
Plus, as Nitta said, it is all about luck.
85 people on a list. 5 winners. Would you ever expect the RNG would choose people from the first 20 and leave out everyone else? No. But it happens, and yes it gets frustrating when that happens, but hey, it's luck and random.
