WF question (activity & gestation)

I’m a sucker for these discussions lol.

I believe there should be no rule such as this at all. I don't feel that someone should lose their litter (or foal) just because the character fell inactive at some point during gestation. I feel that this rule is a hold-over from when offspring were treated as a sort of reward or as something more special than adult OCs. This was reflected in old policies (such as minimum requirements to breed) which have since been changed.

Besides eliminating the disappointment that comes with lost pregnancies due to a lapse in activity, removing the rule would negate all need to make special exceptions or separate rules for wild fauna characters and keep the administrative burden to a minimum. In my opinion, removing the rule is altogether more adherent to the core philosophy of "simple, casual, and fun," and keeping the rule has no tangible benefit that I can discern.

That said, I don't think policy changes of any kind should be made until this current season is over. It eliminates the potential for hard feelings and is most fair to all. :)
