This. It seems really rude to newer users to basically bar them from winning just because they didn't have a chance to stockpile cooldown items. Heck, even starting with just 20 gender change potions was a huge advantage for me over players who had none, tbh - I've squeaked by with not having to spend egg slots on gender change potions whenever I have anything worth breeding. Given how much of a premium egg slots are at during events like this, that's still pretty important. I can't imagine how much worse it would be when people can save *three whole days* for free instead of having to spend a whole hatching period.Jadeunicorn wrote:While I'd also love to be able to use cooldown potions (as I'm currently fully stocked), I fear it would cause an even bigger disadvantage for some people. I mean, even the lack of gender potions some people had put them at a disadvantage, just not as much. Cooldown potions would make that gap between front runners and everyone else just that much more gigantic.YunoGasai wrote:I'm stopping at 25 tree nymphs. there isn't enough time for 25 of anything beyond that for me. this comp so did not have enough time in it for the vast majority of people it seems. maybe next time allow cooldown pots.
Kestrad has been eaten by life. She'll probably pop back in occasionally.
As an addition to this, it would have made things even more fair if the only allowed way to hatch/grow our fish was by posting in the click threads and using the nursery.Kestrad wrote:This.

I respectfully disagree. As one who has only used a single gender change potion, I have managed a number of the personal goals, as well as a large point score simply from continually breeding my fish. If they had allowed the cool down potions as well as/instead of the gender change potions they could have done exactly what they did for the gender change potion quest and added a cool down potion quest that required the SB monarchs instead. That would have made it possible for newbies to play as easily as those with stockpiled potions. I have stockpiled potions, mostly because I don't use them and chose not to use them, but for the once, because I knew if I kept catching, hatching, breeding and hatching that my genders would eventually even out. They haven't yet, but they're pretty close.Kestrad wrote:This.

On this note, as twitter and yarold's are both free services and anyone can sign up for them, even newbies could take advantage of the fast hatch/grow abilities afforded. So banning the use of them wouldn't even the playing field any. Not using those services is a choice not a disadvantage in the competition.Real wrote:As an addition to this, it would have made things even more fair if the only allowed way to hatch/grow our fish was by posting in the click threads and using the nursery.
I know some people don't use yarolds and/or twitter. Those (of us) who use twitter have a huge advantage compared to those who don't.
I also know twitter has been abused for this competition. Getting a creature from egg to adult in under an hour?
It would be a lie to say I don't over-use twitter myself. I keep posting-deleting-posting-deleting the same codes when in a hurry just to get them to grow. And I'm sure others do similar things like this because of lack of time.
yeah i also think this'd be really hard to enforce since those are both external sites- it'd just be more work for the MS staff (and probably impossible to entirely eliminate).Ayakashi wrote: On this note, as twitter and yarold's are both free services and anyone can sign up for them, even newbies could take advantage of the fast hatch/grow abilities afforded.

clicks appreciated (to hatchling only please)
