Studliest Stallion Alive Competition: RESULTS ANNOUNCED!
  • image

    Welcome to the voting phase of our Studliest Stallion Alive Competition. We have 15 stunning entries vying for the title! Please feel free to use this thread to promote and discuss your favorites, or show off foals sired by these lovely stallions. Stallions owners are also welcome to advertise live cover or straw options for their stallion in this thread. All of these lovely studs are worthy of a little extra attention this month! The nominated stallions will be detailed in the next post, so be sure to check them out there!

    You will only be able to vote for three stallions total. The order in which you rank your three votes will matter. Here's how it will work:
    -Your 1st Choice Vote will receive 3 points
    -Your 2nd Choice Vote will receive 2 points
    -Your 3rd Choice Vote will receive 1 point
    At the end of the voting phase, the stallions will be ranked by their point totals to determine their placing for prizes. Voting will close at noon game time on May 22nd.
    Please submit only one voting ballot. If you submit more than one ballot, all of your voting ballots will be discarded.
    Do not select the same stallion for more than one choice. If you do, your entire voting ballot will be discarded. I do not want any unfair vote stacking by giving your top choice 5+ points towards his total.
    Choose carefully, you will not be allowed to edit or change your vote later!

    VOTE USING THE GOOGLE FORM HERE. You should be able to vote without creating any sort of account or sharing personal information. If you have a google account it may show your account in the form, but it should also show a "Not Shared" icon indicating that I will not see your e-mail/account in your responses.

    Nominator: @morningice
    image
    Basajaun the Old NSP

    ""Atticus" is Homozygous for Sooty+, DP and Silver, giving this handsome guy Maximum Dapples! It's fun to look at his lengthy progeny list because he very clearly says "Copy+Paste" - a highly desirable trait in a foundation stallion! Vote for "Atticus" - Studliest Stallion Alive!" -morningice

    Owner: @Bluemesa
    Nominator: @SummerMonarch
    image
    BM7SM 1320 1721123 Wicked e0

    "He’s tall, pretty, and makes great babies. I have one star** and one gold**. Wicked sired both. He’s a phenomenal producer. I like the sa/sa gp/gp combo. He’s pretty. And at 17.2, he’s just the right size." -SummerMonarch

    Owner: @LookingGood
    Nominator: @Khisanth
    image
    Carnival Night

    "When I first joined, I did a search of all the fantasy horses. I remember seeing this guy and thinking how gorgeous he was! He and many others are what inspired me to focus on the brightly colored fantasy drafts, and fueled my addiction to this game." - Khisanth

    Owner: @AshBrookeFarm
    Nominator: @Alyssa22
    image
    Clone B999 Mu Goblin

    "Goblin has all the looks with a double helping of Mushroom, Sooty, DP, Satin and Kit M. He also is one of only a handful of stallions at the pinnacle of breeding and showing ability with ***Star Papers and a whopping 14.5 PT. Ooo La La!" -RamshornSportHorses

    Owner: @GryphonHollow
    Nominator: @LookingGood
    image
    GH4 Illusive Rage

    "I want to nominate this stud because I'm a huge fan of Gryphons lines. I've use their studs and bought a few as well. Illusive Rage is fun and now that I have the puddles license I'm excited to (hopefully) add his genes to my fantasy lines." -LookingGood

    Owner: @StarburstFarms
    Nominator: @OTTB1
    image
    Good Hearted G9G

    "He is homozygous for Dun, Champagne, Sooty+, Dense Pheomelanin, and Pangare, as well as White M, Pattern 1, and Kit promoter 2. I also love that he is evenly bred, and is superior to his sire, which is what I look for in all of my herd stallions. He was also in the top 10 of top producing stallions in year 37 for his breeder clubs." -OTTB1

    Owner: @TheBlueMoors
    Nominator: @HighNoone
    image
    Hershey Kisses CLP

    "I love “Henry’s” look! With his dark dappled coat, a hint of platinum, and gp to round him out, he is the epitome of “tall, dark, and handsome.” Plus, he’s homozygous for almost all his genes and exceptionally perfect to boot!" -HighNoone

    Owner: @LadyhawkeStables
    Nominator: @Walywoohoo
    image
    LH11S High Five SUP

    "Tall, Dark, and Handsome, this liver chestnut guy has it all! ***Star papers, boosted, and that lovely mushroom. With bonus nd1! Plus I decided to pick a horse owned by LadyhawkeStables, a very welcoming and generous player. Ladyhawke got me started with even breeding, when I first joined and hadn't a clue how the game works." -Walywoohoo

    Owner: @LadyhawkeStables
    Nominator: @Bluemesa
    image
    LH8S Bozeman AGA

    "I have always admired Ladyhawke’s lines, and if I were to ever change my program, I would breed for something similar. The combination of mushroom, satin, and s+ is just so beautiful!" -Bluemesa

    Owner: @AzilizM
    Nominator: @RamshornSportHorses
    image
    Millennium The Real Thing

    "Millennium The Real Thing is the perfect shade of brown dun with dapples for days! He is one of my favorite stallions to seek out every season, and is the foundational sire for many other beautiful dun stallions in AzilizM's barn. I can't get enough of him and his progeny!" -RamshornSportHorses

    Owner: @LookingGood
    Nominator: @LaurierArabians
    image
    Mr Fancypants

    "I am going to nominate Mr. Fancypants! He is a wonderful foundation stud with so many genes. Hes been a great opportunity for younger players to have accessibility to a variety of genes for an affordable price." -LaurierArabians

    Owner: @SummerMonarch
    Nominator: @lingonberry121391
    image
    Winters Gifts 2MX

    "While looking through Summer's stallions, I came across this guy and loved his look. The gray, DP, Belton, and chimera all play really well together. I wanted to choose one of Summer's stallions because she has been one of the kindest, most generous players I've encountered, about things both in and out of game." -lingonberry121391

    Owner: @FoxBrookFarm
    Nominator: @TripleGFarm
    image
    Xpro The New Kid FBF

    "He's got the eyes you can stare in for days. Every foal I have seen by this guy has been an eye catcher.
    The chrome (Kit M) on him just pops against that sultry sooty silver black, and the KP/KP2 is just frosting on the cupcake. A big punch in a tiny package." -TripleGFarm

    Owner: @Abhean
    Nominator: @astridmoonnn
    image
    zAE4 Jittery Signatures

    "I nominated this stallion because he is gorgeous and has lots of great genes such as nd1, mushroom, gray reduction, sooty+, and belton. He is a great foundation stallion for beginners." -astridmoonnn

  • For the first few days if you can also post here and let me know that you voted that would also help me out. I'd like to check my responses and make sure the survey form seems to be working properly.

    P.S. morningice, I see you are on the ball getting your vote in. Thank you!

    Thanked by 1RamshornRanch

    Thanked by 1RamshornRanch
  • Oh my lands, I forgot to mention the prize donors in my original post, even though I meant to. I will go back and edit it now!

    And thank you for the kind words! Very excited to see the results. There's lots of variety in the responses already, since I get to sneak peek.

  • This is a lot. Can we get the voting link in a separate comment without anything else?
  • Voted! Thank you for hosting :)
    Thanked by 1RamshornRanch
  • The voting link posted by LookingGood is correct and can be used to vote as well. I can post it again if needed.

    The form does seem to be working properly and capturing the responses of everyone who has posted that they have voted. So thanks for your help! If you are particularly concerned if your vote was captured feel free to post or message, and I can check.

  • Voted! Thank you all who helped organize this! Will there ever be a Most Magnificent Mare competition? :-)
    Thanked by 1RamshornRanch
  • Voted using the form
    Thanked by 1RamshornRanch
  • Khisanth, that does sound fun. My only concern is that most players don't share their mares around like they do their stallions. So it would have to be structured differently since I don't think nominating another player's mare would be as successful/popular. Definitely food for thought.

    I do have hopes to do more Studliest Stallion Alive competitions in the future. Depending on donors being willing to offer prizes. Once or twice per real life year or something like that.

  • Ram, this is cool and it’s great you are doing it. I’d put an “as good as the best era 4 highest gen at the time” mare and some fancy embryos in for the magnificent mare game.
  • One week left for voting!
