FAQ

  • Stories? What? Stories, yes! It’s a form of art. It should be used in Horse Roleplaying more often because some people are really talented writers and deserve it!
    • Who gets the points for roleplay stories? Both people. If there are multiple horses in the story, other than two, they also get the points.
      • Are chibi’s allowed? Yes. They are a style, and therefore are accepted.

Hi there! I'm super excited that H-I-G-H-S finally has a point system. It's going to be a lot of fun! 

I had a question about the roleplay bit. Are the points ("+4 for each response") counted as "4 points times the number of your replies" or "4 points times the total number of replies" (i.e., you and everybody)? Thanks for clearing this up! 

And one more question, the FAQs state a trainer is required in all training images. Are their any points given for images without handlers? ("around the barn" type artwork"?)


Since the rules are new, I thought I might also voice a suggestion about the literature points. I feel like it would be much more fair to give _x_ points per wordcount, much like how the art portion is divided into headshots and fullbodies and flat color and shading. "Short" and "Long" are kinda vague and mean different things to different people ;

The roleplay points might benefit from a similar system. They are many different styles of RP out there, and some people prefer "script" format with one-line responses while others might reply less frequently because they carefully type out a page in an almost novella format.

Thank you guys for your hard work, I love seeing this group develop and grow :D
