That's what I thought, just want to be sure. Thank you both for quick answers

I'm registering my foundation horses. Should I put "foundation" as their sire/dam or should I make up names?

Hello! Sorry about the silly questions, I'm a bit still behind with the things since 2.5 forum closed.

I was just wondering about the money system, can we buy or sale horses for $ money, like at the equus community site? Because the equus-sims.net site, where is our funds, credits, etc, brings us here by clicking on the community button, but I don't really found anything about the esrpg sales system.

Creating horses: do we need to create a horse at the .net site too and register, or is it enough posting the horse here?

Also about the shows: if I use reshade, does it count as an unedited picture?

Thank you! <3

I don't remember exactly if this was on the old forum or I'm confusing this with Equus.Community, but can horses have two disciplines? Example: I'd like to use one of my dressage horses in another discipline as driving, that would be posible? Or having a horse with polo as first discipline and horseball as second one

I'll skip answer for 1st question, as I've dropped participating in ESRPG system, and will enter shows only for fun, not for XP

ESEF shows aren't the only ones that will happen on ES. Anyone can host an ESRPG show with whatever disciplines you'd like The more shows you've hosted, the higher level you can offer.
I also have horses competing in unpopular disciplines. Heck, I've just decided to drop the only popular discipline I've been doing (dressage) for the sake of doing only unpopular ones! I want to promote them and hopefully more people start competing in them, and I'll have some competition

There's no limitation to how you want to name you stables, other than not being offensive, I guess

Hey Karen! Robyn is completely correct as to the answers she gave you for your second and third question. As for your first question, your understanding seems to be correct. I will try to explain a little further however as you are probably not the only one who is not quite sure with what is what and how it all works.

So to start, the XP you earn affects the ESRPG itself, which is the main gaming system of this forum. You earn XP by entering shows for the careers assigned to your horses, characters and establishments, as well as entering workshops, posting in your scrapbook and completing profiles. Basically any time you represent your assets somewhere they earn XP. And yes, you got the gist of it, it looks like. When you represent your assets doing something under saddle or relevant to riding, they would earn XP for the athlete/competitor careers and when you represent them doing something breeding related, they would earn XP for the futurity career. In the event that you make a picture that is not particularly relevant to one or the other (for example, the horse is sleeping in their stall), then you would choose which career to give the XP to. You are also correct that XP, in a show or workshop, can only be earned once, regardless of the number of entries. Scrapbook entries work similarly in the sense that if you posted multiple screenshots of the same scene, the assets represented would only earn the XP once that scene.
QPs are a little different. They are basically the "monetary system" (this is not the right word, but the right word is escaping me at this time) of the ESEF, which itself is simply the official show season of the forum. QPs only affect the show season. They are what allows your assets to move on to the next phase of the event. The ESEF is just a little extra event on the side. You don't have to partake to it to play the ESRPG fully, and you don't have to partake in the ESRPG to enter the ESEF shows. The main reason you would want to enter ESEF and keep up with it, would be for the really nice prizes (since the shows are hosted by the staff and other chosen members, they do tend to offer consistent CC prizes which are fun to collect) and the potential future seasons and champion tours that other members plan on hosting next year. Globally however, QPs do go back to 0 at the end of the season, so they are not cumulative during the life of your assets like XP is.

Finally when it comes to establishments... I will shamefully admit, that I am not sure. Christina and I have had so much back and forth over establishments and how they should work, and we've agreed on some ideas only to go back on them later on so many times, that I am not sure what the final idea was hahaha.. But I'll talk to her ASAP and I'll get back to you on that!

That would go into the Western Field
