Sales Peeves

I have a lot of Howrse related pet peeves. Unsurprisingly, many are related to the sales. Let's talk about a few of them.

1. Overweight or underweight horses in sales

For real. This game is disgustingly easy. You are told exactly how much to feed your horse and you still cannot manage it? I shudder to think how incompetent you are.

2. Names suggesting the horse will be "abandoned", "killed", "slaughtered" or left to "rot" in the Safe Haven.

Safe Haven. Hm. Let's take a look at those words.

Safe
adjective
1. secure from liability to harm, injury, danger, or risk

Haven
noun
2. a harbor or port
1. any place of shelter and safety; refuge; asylum.

Yup. Sure sounds like a dismal place. Poor horses.

Not only are names like this against the rules, they're also stupid - which makes you stupid for using them.

3. Low level geldings.

Why are you even bothering? You've got nothing worth protecting and no one is going to bother to skill this crap.

4. Foals with no attempt made at their foal games.

There's a reason your horses all suck. It's because you're lazy.

5. Asking passes for foals with GP below what is available from public studs. Extra loser points if they also have an unblupped mother.

Cute, but no thanks.

6. Botched skillers whose owners are trying to recoup their investment.

It's not my fault you can't manage to properly skill a horse. Don't go asking standard market value for a horse you stupidly tried to skill on 42e lessons.

7. Exorbitant prices for crappy BMIs.

I don't care if you horse has a Poseidon Pack - it's still low skilled, unblupped and ultimately worthless.
