Howdy yall… when a CSR get your ticket, they will ask you to send them your breedable in a folder with your name and ticket number on the folder. You can also send a note card with the breedable in the folder.

Why are folders so important?

The reason we ask for a folder with your name and ticket number on it is because it’s easier to sort and look for a folder than it is to find an object or a horse/K-9/barnyard bird/bundle/kennel/nest and a notecard and it helps us help you faster and more efficiently!

Now the fun part ideally we want all folders to have 2 parts to their name like so (Your SL name (no display names please) – Your Amaretto Ticket Number (i.e JJC-xxx-xxxxx)) this will help us find your folder quicker and be able to quickly find your ticket number please be sure that your ticket number follows this format: JJC-xxx-xxxxx the easiest way is to copy and paste the ticket ID from the ticket system.

If you are sending in a Forever Foal/Perpetual Puppy to Jaymee Caproni, Please label you folders as follows (your SL name) no display names please and (Forever Foal/Perpetual Puppy). So it would appear as this Jaymee Caproni- Forever Foal. Please do not send your items in boxes or objects as they are so often missed in our inventory. The only reason this would be acceptable is if there were too many items to fit in a folder.

How did I create a folder?

Now creating a folder is easy all you do is right click (or command click if your using a mac) in either the My Inventory folder or another folder (like the Objects folder) and click New Folder then under the folder you clicked on a New Folder will be created and ready to rename to whatever you want to name it. Once you are done changing the name it will fall in order with the other folders and be ready to add your inventory to it. After you have placed the horses/K-9s/barnyard birds/bundles/kennels/nests and any additional information you can add for the ticket pull our name up in search and drag the folder over to us and we will get it (even if we are offline!) and we will respond in your ticket if more information is needed or if no info is needed you will have your fixed breedable sent back in the folder described at the end of this blog

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

A few things you need to do after filing a ticket.

1. You do NOT need to send a note card or an instant message to the CSR.

2. You DO need to reply to your ticket.

3. You DO need to reply in the original ticket.

4. If you do instant message a CSR have your ticket ID on hand, we talk to so many people when you randomly message we have no idea who you are. It may be awhile before we notice your IM, as we are working on fixing your breedables

5. Do NOT file duplicate tickets for the same issue.

How do I reply in the original ticket?

After you have logged in find the button on the top menu bar that says View Tickets. Once you are in this view you will see your ticket list. To view your ticket and make a reply click on the title of the ticket above the status bar for it. Once in the ticket you can post a reply in the upper right hand corner with the post reply button. Be sure to reopen the ticket or your response will not be seen Please be proactive. Read every Customer Connection (that’s what we call these blogs). Know what’s going on so when you do file a ticket it’s not something that has already been addressed.

************IF A CSR REPLIES TO YOUR TICKET, AND YOU DO NOT RESPOND IN 3 DAYS THE TICKET WILL BE CLOSED************

Now when we send you back your fixed horses/bundles/K-9s/kennels/barnyard birds/nests you will get a folder like this ( in this case when i send the folder mine looks like this: Amaretto Breedable(s) from maleficent Farshore -REPAIRED ) all folders from the CSR’s follow the same naming scheme Amaretto Breedable(s) from CSR NAME -REPAIRED this way when you get the folder back you can use the inventory search feature to find the folder easily and be able to enjoy your fixed horse(s)/K-9s /barnyard birds sooner

Until next time………..

Show Fell Pony!

Hello everyone, another terrific Tuesday has almost come and gone! What makes the Tuesday so terrific is the Show Fell Pony!

That’s right the Show Fell Pony has he the grid and its a beauty! I couldn’t wait to snap a pick of this one to share with you guys!

So how do you get one of these handsome horses?

Well……. Beginning November 5, 2012 to December 4th, 2012 any bundle dropped from the breeding of any 2 Fell Pony’s this includes the Blue Heat Molten Fell Pony horses had the chance at being an Show Fell Pony.

This does not include the Falabella.

Show Fell Pony can NOT pass their coat.
However, the Calvary eye DOES have the ability to pass.

One other intrseting thing about this Show Fell Pony is that it has the Amaretto Ranch Brand but you can’t see it under all that armor!

I have included pictures for all of you guys to see!

Cant wait to see that Best In Show Wolf, so you guys get to breeding! Until next time this is Ava signing out!

Monday Monday, so good to me! Hey everyone! Hows it going?
I thought it was time to let you see what the Manager of Amaretto may do on any given Monday!

Well here we go my first stop was this morning i had to rush from home just to teach my 9 AM SLT class at Amaretto Ranch University! Big shout outs to all my peeps that were there! I also checked the calendar for the next class! Everyone is invited to ARU and to the class held daily there so check it out! Oh and don’t forget the newly expanded Amaretto Museum!

On to the next stop I got a call about a ruckus at boomtown! So I rushed over there turns out it was just a few people practicing at the race track! Since I was there I check out all the shops that are available for rent to sell your breedable related items! This is also where Club Amaretto gets a little crazy on the weekends……… well at least thats what ive heard! Maybe ill see you around there sometime!

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amaretto%20Ranch%20Boomtown/119/138/21

I walked across the bridge from Boomtown and found myself at the haven sim. This is where you can check and purchase things with your Horse Cents, Kennel Cash, and Henny Pennys. There are lots of cool things you can purchase here like those Haven horses so that you can breed for the new Wings! Just in case you wondering don;t worry Henny doesn’t bite! Be sure to say hello and tell her Ava sent u!

All this traveling i needed a break! So I strolled back over the bridge over to Barnyard Birds store, I took a rest by this really cool kiosk that is at all of our locations. You can get cool stuff from the kiosk like huds, calendars, landmarks and lots of great Amaretto info. I just took a break and watched the big ships sail in and out of the shore! If your looking for Barnyard Bird items this is the place to be!

You know what happened next right? Those darn rooster started making noise and scarred me! I thought i might have better luck resting and the k-9 park. I headed over that way theres a small obstacle course located in front of the store. If your k-9s need treats or food the Amaretto Ranch K-9s Main Store one stop shop for sure! Watch out tho when you land I think some of those Barnyard Birds followed me over!

I ended my tour of Amaretto Sims with my last stop the Amaretto Ranch Breedables Main Store where I did run into a copule friends picking up some horse supplies. This sim just looks awesome with a field and a track! The scenery is certainly nice to look at! You can pick up anything you need for your horses at this place and run into the occasional breeder or friend!

I sure hope those crazy Barnyard birds didnt follow me there too! Well thanks for joining me on my tour of Amaretto Ranch Breedables Sims! I hope that you will go check them out and I hope to see you all around!
This is Ava over and out!

 

The November Birthstone flower eye!

Hello everyone today I would like to tell you about this month’s Birthstone flower eye the Chrysanthemum Topaz!!! Its such a beautiful eye I must say ( Topaz is one of my personal favorite gems ). Now all of you are wondering what must be done to get one of these eyes huh huh? Well there’s no tithing to the amaretto gods or giving your first born horse to them as a tribute ( honestly don’t 😛 ). All you have to do is…. Nothing! They are randomly dropped onto the grid in bundles that are dropped from November 1 to November 30. Now as with all other birthstone eyes the horses must be version 3.5 and above to get a chance at one. So with that said good luck to everyone and Happy Breeding!!

P.S. I’m not that mean so here is a picture of the eye 😛

 

Looks pretty awesome doesn’t it!

Racer Training at Boomtown

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope everyone has received some great bundles this week! I know many in our community have been affected by the Hurricane that hit the east coast this week and want them to know that our thoughts and prayers are still with them and their families.

I have watched many people ask in the main group about where they can go to train their race horses.  Well I can now tell you about a wonderful new addition to the Boomtown sim, a racing area!  There is now a beautiful racing area set up on Boomtown and everyone is free to use this area to train their horses whenever they like!  This would be a great area to go and hang out with other members of the community and be able to chat while training those wonderful racers you’re breeding now!  You never know, you might spot Amaretto staff there riding horses too!

 

Follow the slurl below and check out this wonderful new addition to Boomtown!

Until next time, Happy Breeding (and Happy Training!)
