HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

This year is Americas 245th birthday!

To celebrate we are going to give someone 245 GMT Gene Modification Tokens to use as you please.

Pick up to 4 of your foundation horses, or create new ones, and be sure that they have been Gene Tested. Using the GMT lab genes, pretend you have 245 GMTs to spend to make it/them perfect for your barn.

You must show how you would use EXACTLY 245 tokens

Whomever comes up with the coolest use for the 245 GMTs total will WIN 245 GMTs
2nd place will win 100 GMTs
3rd place will win 50 GMTs

HOW TO ENTER

Stable name <-VERY IMPORTANT! <br>
ID number <- ALSO VERY IMPORTANT <br>
Post a picture link to your starting horse(s)

Give a brief description of how you want the finished horse to look and why, and then list the genes you would use to make the current horse(s) meet your goal, the cost of each gene, then the total for that horse

This game will run for 1 week starting today (Sunday, July 4th)

Example:

Stable name: Confluence Stables

Stable ID: 1998

I would make this horse a mini appaloosa because I love to see how varnish changes the look of the horse over the years and the minis are so cute!
LP costs 1 token
LP costs 1 token
H costs 5 tokens
A costs 25 tokens
sa costs 20 tokens
SWM costs 15 tokens
Total for this horse 46 Tokens

This first two horses would be for my Who Do Voodoo line where I am trying to breed for pearl, tigers eye, satin, and snow. My third would be for my fun colored draft line that I'm just starting to really get into!

Both of these girls were gifts from my summer gifter
@Sariani so they are extra special to me! I have already done some extra GMT work to this lady, the last thing she needs is two copies of satin to be absolutely perfect! Creating lined satin mushrooms has been a side project of mine for a while but I have been building from foundations that are either satin or mushroom. This would be my first foundation with both!

I had a TON of fun dreaming up this next girl. I have always thought it would be super cool to have a chimera foundation with a bunch of fancy genes on one strand but not on the other which isn't possible with the regular RGS sales.

I would love to set up a couple new foundation stallions, using genes I breed for but also bringing in some new genes for some fun diversity

1st:
I was lucky enough to be gifted my first stud on this server by ConfluenceRanch which I fell in love with and is responsible for the direction of my herd. I think it's also the reason I play solely on this server now. He's going to be at risk of aging out in a couple seasons so I'd like to make a new foundation in honor of him while also incorporating some new genes to my herd.

My current stud:

Treble Trance G1B
I like the way this guy looks already but I would like to make him shine a little more
40: homozygous sa to make shiny
20: PBP to give more color and pop to the mane and tail
Total 60 gmt

Zillion Zeros G1B
I would seek to let both the dfp2 and the shamrock this guy already has shine through more
60: make the dfp2 Homozygous on both strands so it pops more
30: W2 changed to KitM both strands to reduce the white allowing more dfp2 to show but still give lots of edges and white patches for the shamrock
25: WT primary strand To give color (maybe even some green for the shamrock!)
1: a to t on primary stand to provide shading/more variation
5: DP primary strand to make the brown deeper
Total 121 gmt

Violent Visa G1C
I would like to add contrast to the two sides of this chimera
2: homozygous E both strands to fit my general stable breeding goals
2: homozygous a secondary strand to make him black on one side
30: homozygous chocolate primary strand to take the black parts of the bay and turn it chocolate
20: homozygous chinchilla Primary strand to give that gorgeous chocolate chinchilla look and really emphasize the departure from the black strand
10: homozygous gp primary strand to give that stark white up the tail on half
Total 64 gmt

Total over 3 horses 245

morningice · Jul 9, 2021 11:42 AM

You all are so good with your planning and knowing how to use all the genes! I'd love to win but honestly I don't know what everything does well enough yet - I need the large amount of tokens so I can un-do stuff that didn't do what I thought it would!

I do have a general idea of creating a few Collectible foundation studs with fantasy colors to start a My Little Pony barn!

Anyway, looking forward to seeing what the winners create. :)

NurffysBarn · Jul 9, 2021 12:29 PM

I am learning. I finally got my barns the way I want them. I have to search horses with the gene I think I want to see what it does before I get it. But trying to use 245 gmts was a trick.

Is it to late to enter this?

I would love to get an axiom line going in this server. I picked a stallion and a couple mares that I think would be a good start for that line. I also threw in a couple copies of of PLD just because I like it and thought it might look cool with axiom.

Ex per wild bay 649940

e = 1 GMT
TO= 1 GMT
Axiom R = 25 GMTs
Axiom g = 25 GMTs
KP 2 (2 copies) = 20 GMTs
Total = 72

Ex per sooty 649939

E = 1 GMT
Axiom g = 25 GMTs
Axiom b = 25 GMTs
PLD = 25 GMTs
KP2 (2 copies) = 20 GMTs
Total = 96

Ex per Hom Dun 649942

E = 1 GMT
TO = 1 GMT
Axiom W = 25 GMTs
Axiom b = 25 GMTs
PLD = 25 GMTs
Total = 77

72 + 96 + 77 = 245 GMTs

So why when I share her here will it not show her with her color. Well click on her and you can see her colors I guess

LadyhawkeStables · Jul 13, 2021 4:38 AM

Thank you so much! I am so excited to make my vision come to life!! :D

ConfluenceRanch · Jul 13, 2021 4:57 AM

@NurffysBarn, it's all about clearing your cache of saved images. It gets overloaded and just says 'to heck* with it' and puts an old one in until you clear it, and it gets more space.

*paraphrased. It doesn't actually say 'heck'.

rachrobe · Jul 13, 2021 7:44 AM

This is what I've done so far!
