Here’s Some Helpful Information

Hello everyone. This week we have seen alot of tickets on people needing horses replaced. Well we all know SL can eat them or make them Poof, but heres something that we have noticed alot of people doing. NEVER highlight and take a group of horses, K-9s, bundles, or kennels into your inventory. Most of the time when you do this, you will lose all the items as they will not rez back out

 

Also if you find a breedable in your inventory and you know that you already have it out, you can right click on the item in inventory, look in the description field and compare the numbers from that with your breedables number. If you set it out and you already have it out, both copies will duplicate.

 

When SL does a sim Rollback, it takes the sim back to a previous state. If you have purchased a horse from someone, and the sim where you purchased the breedable from has a rollback, it can create a duplicate issue., maybe even someone else has come along and also purchased the same breedable. This is why we ask for transaction history. If this happens you can contact the seller for refund. Please don’t just assume they are selling duplicates on purpose. Talk to the seller. Things can be worked through.

 

Hope this has been helpful

Hello Everyone!!

Ok so a few things that i want to clear up..

First the poll we had on the website for the extra prim… We did not get all the votes we would have liked.. The majority that did voted yes but we need more to vote for it to be a true majority. We want the Majority of the community to vote on this seeing this is a important thing to most.. The extra prim will allow Amaretto to put more traits into the horses I will not go into details as most of you would like as to what the new traits are but lets just say adding one prim can make a world of difference. So with that being said the poll on the website is now closed and we are putting up voting stations inworld to see if we can get more votes then we did on the website… The voting systems are located at each Amaretto Horse Store Location.. Yes you can vote again if you voted on the website only the votes from inworld will count.. Voting will go on for 1 week starting today so please go vote on this we are encourage all of the community to vote. If you are ok with the extra prim per horse vote yes if you are not ok with it vote No.

Last i would like to add something about the mystic horses.. These horses are like normal horses there coats can pass and their offspring can have the coat as a hidden trait.. Please remember though you can only birth a Mystic Horse from 2 Holiday horses not the Holiday horses offspring unless that offspring is a mystique.

Ty all for reading i will see you all again next week or in group chat šŸ™‚

You’ve waited and waited and waited….Ā  and finally….

Prims out of place?

Hey guys it’s Monday again! I hope Santa was good to you all and that you all got to enjoy time with friends and loved ones.

I want to thank all of you that came out to the Amaretto Christmas Ball. It was a great success and I think all who attended had a lot of fun! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and spent time with friends and loved ones!

Horses or K9s with prims out of place or backwards? Well don’t worry this is an easy fix, in most cases you won’t even have to file a ticket. Follow these easy steps to correct this issue.

1. Re-rezz the horse
2. Turn movement on (once the horse cycles through an animation the prims should realign)
3. If the first two fixes don’t work, then file a ticket.

Remember that the Special Edition and Limited Editions will be out until Jan 1st.

Also wanted to include a picture of this Horse eye because its awesome!

Well until next time Happy Breeding Everyone!

Christmas is always full of surprises!

Twas the Night before Christmas Poem

 

 

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

And mamma in her ā€˜kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a long winterā€™s nap.

 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

 

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

 

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

 

“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

 

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

 

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

 

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

 

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

 

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

 

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

 

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

 

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ā€˜ere he drove out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Today I’d just like to to recap some going on around Amaretto over the past week.

You have all been seeing the notices about the Poll created by the one and only Richie Carami. Its a really important poll as been mentioned in our notices. Richie’s poll asks the question “would the community be ok with 1 more prim on the horses?” This prim would be used as an extra trait slot. So the horse would be 15 prims instead of 14.

I would like to address the prim concern that I’ve seen in the group…

1) I don’t have enough prims to afford extra prims on the horses.

I would like to point out that if you are a person that has to closely watch your prims… This would be the break down

If you have 15 horses you would have to reduce by 1 horse to stay within your prims..

30 horses reduce by 2
60 horses reduce by 4
120 horses reduce by 8

So you see its really not a major prim issue…

We really need the community to login to the Amaretto Social Network and cast their votes. We can’t assume the community feels a certain way based on a couple hundred votes… We need at least 500 votes and in a perfect world EVERYONE would vote…

You can log in to the social site or sign up here http://amarettobreedables.com

The poll is located on the main page on the left side of the screen under the heading “Recent Polls”

The other thing I would like to talk to you all about today is the Christmas Horses and K9s (LEs/SEs)

When we first let out these awesome little guys we told you that ….

If you breed two Christmas LEs or two Christmas SEs together you have a chance for a very special coat…

HOWEVER ! šŸ˜› We tossed in a twist this week *hands everyone a shot of tequila*

If you breed a Christmas LE with a NON Christmas LE you have a chance at a very special eye. Same for the SEs … If you breed a Christmas SE with a NON SE you have chance for a special eye…

So… HERES where it gets tricky… What do you do ? Do you breed two Christmas LEs/SEs together for a chance at a special coat? or do you go the other route and go for a chance at a special eye? That’s up to you! *give everyone a lime for their tequila* CHEERS! Mazel Tov!

Thats it from me for this week… Don’t forget to vote!

Thank you all for joining me this week for my connection and as always this connection was brought to you by the Letter F and the Number 4

On the 12 day of December Amaretto gave to me…….

Hello Amaretto Community!!!

Starting December 5, 2011 @ 12:01 am the new show horse was able to be dropped from the breeding of 2 buckskins! Well… it has hit the grid! And it is a beauty! The only qualifications to getting one of these amazing horses is to breed 2 buckskins together. They can be any colors or traits! Just remember both the mother and father must be buckskins! The coat of the show horse will not pass however, the eye does have a chance to to pass!! I have attached a picture of the horse so you can marvel at it’s beauty!

Happy Buckskin Breeding!

Fervor/Heat !!

You can do several things to help your Horse or K-9 gain fervor/heat.

 

For a horse or k-9 to gain fervor/heat they must be at least age 7

 

The happiness level does effect fervor/heat. if the horse or K-9 is not 75% happy it will NOT gain fervor/heat. Also if the happiness falls bellow 75% it will stop gaining fervor/heat.

 

The horses or K-9’s do have to have breedable food to gain fervor/heat. If you start a horse or K-9 out on pet food it will have to eat breeder food for 7 days before it will be able to start gaining.

 

Riding a horse as well as salt licks will help ensure your horse gets above 75% happiness and builds fervor. Also Sugar Cubes will help boost happiness. Playing with your K-9 and chew toys will help your K-9 gain happiness, Rawhide lollipops gives a boost to happiness also.

 

Remember before filing a ticket about your horses or K-9’s not gaining fervor/heat be sure to check the info listed above to make sure all conditions are favorable for fervor/heat to be building.
