HGG Community Forums

Cheers was kind enough a few weeks ago to return a favor and give me a generous gift. I know there are many other players though who have done the same for others. I like the community around this game. Good people. :)

Abbey Road is amazingly generous with her herd and her time. I definitely wouldn't be where I am so early in the game (I've only been playing since September) if she hadn't given me many legs up (leg ups?).

Ondowa Stables generously gave me straws from one of her silver grullo stallions early on. Wolf Constellation has since passed over the great cyber rainbow bridge but having him early in my grullo herd totally changed the way I breed and the way I stand my studs for public breeding.

Baya has kept my idiosyncratic tastes in mind and has consistently shared foals or straws that she thinks I will appreciate. Allowing me to buy Dark Pearl 2 earlier this month was another major step for me in the game.

So many others have been generous with time, knowledge, mares, low cost breedings...this community is amazing and I love being a part of it!

Aww, shucks, thanks guys. And also you're welcome.

Dark Star was super generous and a huge help in getting my herds and LE genes established. Also Kintara, Purple Sage and Kaquel, all of whom I miss.

Maribo was my secret santa last year and she showered me with goodies and has traded me some straw to lines I adore.

I also have to give a shout out to Beadingterri because she made NeoGenesis possible (we had to jump through some hoops to get him cloned).

Paints Stables was my santa this year and also gave me tons of great stuff, can't wait to do some breeding with the stuff I got.

Sandy Creek is our game's angel -- she's always the first to help new players and she's a font of helpful info and I've learned a ton from her.

One of the greatest things about this game is the helpfulness of the players and the willingness to share and help people out. Y'all are awesome.

I'd forgotten that I made your tattoo, Drakon, no wonder I like it so much ;)

And i actually made drakons foundation tattoo

Haha royal your classy and funny

The more i look at the foundation tattoo makes me proud

Well I havent been on the game for long at all but I am incredibly grateful for all of the help from abbey road, cheers, and kassierae. They have helped me more than I could have ever imagined/expected. This game has such a wonderful community.

20 minutes well spent! That is impressive!!

OOOOH and High Five Acres helped me a lot when I was just getting started.

goodness gracious lol SO MANY

love you all!!

Ill sell you my current slot for 1 and vice versa i need a nexus tattoo

Aside from nice replies to comments and general trustworthiness of the forum, the players who have helped me the most are VegemiteQueen, Maribo, and Cheers.
Maribo was my Secret Santa this year, and she surprised me with a six-month basic upgrade, and a GMT'd Freak Friday stud who will be paramount to my lines. I send a heartfelt Thank You to her.
Cheers dealt extremely generously with me while I was Secret Santa shopping, basically giving away ice 8, nexus, and straws. She also bought me nearly 1,000 more spaces of actual monetary value when I mentioned that I didn't really know how well my mares were breeding and that I'd have to cull before I could paper many. Thank You feels inadequate, and after a few uses, it loses its value. So, one last time, Thank You.

I also really appreciate how friendly and helpful this forum is. I've been to other ones where the players were short or condescending with new players, and untrustworthy as well. This community has proved to be nearly uniformly generous in kindness and goods. So a great big Thank You to everyone, and may you pass it on to all who join.

After all that, it seems strange not to try to express my thanks to the creators and administrators of the game, who have made an understanding of at least the color expressions possible to me and everyone else on the game. I've always wanted to know how the colors worked, and tried to figure it out by going to Wikipedia, but I got confused by the chemistry of the matter and couldn't get very deep into it. Ammit/Ellie made it possible for me to understand why bays can't come from chestnuts and what a perlino is and what the heck silver does.
This is the first game I've played in a very, very long time that not only taught me something real, but really made me want to pay real money for it.
Not to mention that she's incredibly involved with the game and community even while pregnant with, I think, her first child.
From the part of my heart that history, literature, and society have told me is the best, I give a very great Thank You that I think will be echoed to the far reaches of this thread. Let's Honor the Makers.

I just wrote more than I usually wrote for papers in high school, and I still feel like I left something out. :P
Sorry for the novel block, and maybe some weighty language, but 'Yo thanx guise' doesn't seem to cut it, somehow. :P

My 5th gen kp mare is also sporting drakons foundation tattoo, i put it on her to see if drakon liked it and when i sold the tatto to her i just never took it off

Sure I can, Baya! :) What would you like the tattoo to be of? ;)

Just something star related drakon

I did this, but I can change it from white to black instead. I figured on this horse you'd be able to see it if it were white better. I can actually change the colors or anything youd like. Just let me know!

hmmm I have other ideas as well.
I Cant decide.

I also made this one.

I didn't realise it had changed both photos. oops haha
One used to have a different tattoo.
I will send it back to you if you want no further changes ;)
Do you want me to keep it white or change it to black or some other color? :)

D'aww thanks moon! Cheers and Abbey have helped me IMMENSELY. Without them I wouldn't have what I have now!

I have to thank AbbyRoads, Cheers and my SS. Abby and Cheers have both been very generous with selling me some awesome horses to help me start lines in colors that are hard to find and my SS fed into my rare color obsession with some nexus foals and straws. They have also been very generous with their knowledge and trying to explain things and allowing me to use them as sounding boards to bounce possible breeding pairs off of them. I can only hope that one day I can help out another player the way all three of them have helped me. That is one thing that sets this group of people apart from others, the willingness to help others and see them succeed. It is something I have never seen on any other site. It makes this game fun.
