"Dream Horse was created by Jamie in 2013 after she grew tired of elitest games and games that were full of too many rules to sit back and enjoy the game. After leaving one game because of favoritism towards other members, she decided to create a game dedicated to equality among members, freedom to play, and leniency. Dream Horse was created with the members in mind to be able to play as much or as little as they'd like." I am sorry to see that she feels that way about HF and the members here still. We tried to work with her. There's only so much the officers can do to help, and without her even answering PM's from our members, among the other unfortunate stuff that happened, we were sort of stuck in a rut and had to do what we ended up doing. What's weird is that she came back from her hiatus with a really bad attitude/snarky comments that upset some members (not just officers), and they reacted to her by pulling away. You can't exactly blame that on HF, lol. Oh well. The whole thing still makes me sad because she was a great member for so many years, and something just changed, quickly. ETA: I just looked at the rules. They are pretty much copied from HF and edited for the long-windedness. LOL *shakes head*

Well, this will be a game to watch for suspicious doubles of HF horses turning up I have no idea what happened with her. She seemed so nice and then one day...it just all exploded.

Its not really copied. But if you feel thst way whatever. Im not interested in copying anything or any horses from here that havent been exported. I had issues with a certain favorite member for over a year and tried to put up with it. Pretty much every game out there has member levels establishments stables horses shows etc. anyway i left mainly because i was sick of a "officer"s snarky comments to me on a routine basis for over a year. I want to run a game that is a bit better organized lacks that favoritism. As in officers/moderators voted in no matter what the circumstances. Anyway if you wantto criticize thats your issue not mine. It only adds to negative feelings.
And i did not mention in that post it was hf i left for thise reasons but if you take it that way then i guess its the truth. Of course im going to be upset when horses i made reclaims on still ended up in the committee. As well as horses who were reclaimed that really should not have been when i did have facebook and other means of communication open

No, you didn't mention it was HF and we do appreciate it. With everything that happened, it's pretty obvious that it WAS HF that you were talking about. In regards to the favoritism, if you remember a couple of years back I acted as a moderator between you and that member. There was not favoritism - we came to an agreeable conclusion that benefited both of you. The favoritism you speak of I believe was your own sensitivities to that member and compounded by the negative attitude that started leaking to other members. In fact, that particular member tried to step away from all of the incidents right before you left as best as she could BECAUSE of your guys' past. The officers tried to work with you, but you didn't even reply to the other members who had nothing to do with anything negative. They just cared about their horses. That's hardly favoritism. Basically what I'm saying is that it works both ways - the snark and perceived snark happened on both ends. You cannot blame it solely on that one member, as you played a part in it too, which ended up reaching to other members as well. When the officers do decide to step in on issues like you had here, it's generally because more than one member has contacted us privately. As far as US contacting you, we tried. You simply avoided coming to HF any more. If you have access to FB and email, you would also have access to HF. Members had questions that were never answered, thus the path we unfortunately had to take. Horses that you had requested, bred, created, etc. in your post were not sent to The Committee. We really tried to be fair in a difficult situation, but without your coming back for input it made things even harder. If you notice, your account is not suspended, your IP is not banned...we didn't take any "official" action against you. We just wanted to work with you and make things right. The whole situation is just sad, and I am sorry that you are so jaded against HF as a whole, because the massive majority here really had nothing to do with any of it and couldn't help but react negatively to your negativity. On a personal note that I hope will help you, I would not join a game with such negative history and about the game posts. My red flags would go up about that person not being able to make it in any other game, so they had to create their own. Shelly is one of these people, as well as the "terrible trio" that left, and look how successful their games have been. Just a thought that I hope helps your game.
