Breeding season was NOT the majority, in fact majority voted they wanted to remove breeding season altogether as shown in the poll.

But it was extended instead. Everyone was pretty happy when we could extend it so, as now pups could be born later and earlier, and wouldn't have to rush. The MERS also helped a lot, but the community wanted it to be REMOVED, but it wasn't.[/narrow]

Breeding Season v1 was majority vote. The community voted to have a breeding season enforced on all players.

Breeding Season v2 (2021 edition) was introduce MERs and remove breeding season.  We enforced MERs (which was the overwhelming majority) and tweaked the season so it was half and half = half "totally remove" which is a logistical nightmare for a CM, and half "have a season". That way, the majority got half of what they want and the staff had a much needed break from breeding season.

My statement still stands. We have gone with the majority on the last several major changes.

In case anyone is curious, here were my votes as a player and/or staff member in these polls:
1. I voted to not have a breeding season in the first ever breeding season poll (when was that, 2017..?)
2. In the v2 2021 edition, I voted to keep breeding season as is and introduce MERs, which got a staggering 18% votes.
3. In the PPC poll in 2019, I voted to get rid of PPCs.
3. In the PPC discussion, my opinion was to nuke PPCs.

So CMs don't always get their way, either. There have been a lot of changes for the betterment of the community made that weren't made by my own agenda, or any other CM's either.

Benry and Jaylen are now the minority in your example, and you are siding with the minority here in your hypothetical.

The minority is actually WF as a whole. There is rarely more than 5 active WF in the game at a given time.  Right now there are 4 active WF (excluding The Narrator), with one having been reactivated this AM.

My hypotheticals - attack bears and attack pumas and spy birds, have happened (or were attempted to be orchestrated) in game. The rule exists because of  players attempting to unfairly tilt the game in their favor. I'm fine with lifting this rule and have already said several times as a player I don't have a problem with WF being used to gain an advantage - but again, I am the minority. Until other players chime in, we don't know what their opinion is either.

I wasn't here during the other polls so I am unaware of them, and did not look them up; only remembering the slight disappointment of not removing, but quite satisfied it was at least extended with MERs added.

As i'm not an admin, nor a coder, i'm not too sure why it would be a disaster to completely remove? I could see the problem of perhaps people bending issues and having litters that are quite close to each other, but it would be quite easy to simply add in their profile 'had little on etc etc,' just like how trades are 'gained trade on etc etc.' When submitting apps could slide that in their profile for females, so they dont have 2 litters less then a year.

The only true issue I can see is the more work that would be needed on adding to the profile, and checking more onto that section of the site for people to add pups. But again I'm not an admin, nor a coder, so i'm not sure difficulties beyond that.

Though pairs are more or less rare to give, perhaps a minimal of 5 usually on the site at the same, and moreso couples from random breeding. I feel as a member it would reduce 'random litters,' because there would be no rush to get a litter before breeding season ends.
