From the desk of Ava..........

Hey Amaretto Family! I hope today is  a great HuMp day for everyone! 

It is a sad reality that, in the Amaretto breeding community, ethics and integrity are not always top of mind. Recently, a glitch has been exploited by some players which has resulted in a negative impact on the community as a whole.

Lets discuss why exploiting glitches is hurting the Amaretto breeding community and why it is important to maintain ethical practices when breeding any breedable!

As much as we would like to think otherwise, people will always exploit glitches in games. It gives them an unfair advantage, and they often use it to their benefit. However, exploiting glitches in the Amaretto breeding community isn't just about gaining an unfair advantage over others. It hurts everyone in the community.

When you exploit, it's not just about gaining something for yourself. You are hurting everyone in the community, and you are undermining the hard work that others have put in.

When breeding its always nice to try new strategies as a legitimate part of your breeding.

However, when you use a glitch that you know isn't meant to be there, you're cheating, plain and simple. It's important to remember that there is a difference between finding new strategies and using a glitch to gain an unfair advantage over others.

In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, or use elements of a game system in a manner not intended by the game's designers, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it.

It is absolutely against Amaretto TOS and will not be allowed by anyone! 

So let me lay it out on the line, you birth a horse and its suppose to have a blizzard wing, but one come out Orange and the other side Blue. This is considered to be a glitch but what you choose to do with it is even more important. Not everyone who has a glitch is exploiting.

However when you encounter a glitch, and you think hey......... so you go to your breeding platform and make 3 or 30 or even  300 more horses with this glitch so that you can sell them to the Amaretto Community now you are exploiting,

Why you ask well exploit is the use of a bug or glitch, or use elements of a game system in a manner not intended by the game's designers, in a way that gives a substantial unfair advantage to players using it.

I wish I could tell you that Amaretto is perfect, however the reality is that we are not. However you should have confidence that Amaretto will always strive to make things right, for our community and all of our breeders. 

There was recently a glitch with the Whisper Of Madness Mule - Bora, this was passing its coats to its offspring sadly. Instead of the people involved being honest and open and letting Amaretto know, they instead decided to mass breed them. 

After all this was brought to light, I have removed all illegitimate made Whisper Of Madness Mule - Bora from ALL Amaretto breeders. I did this for a few reasons, it is common knowledge that Mules DO NOT pass their coat as it is listed on our wiki:

What does this mean?? It means any horses or bundles that any breeders possessed were confiscated and returned to what they were originally meant to be!  

Why did you do this Ava, I thought we could keep glitches??
Well as blunt as I can be there is a difference in you getting a glitch and keeping it, and you mass producing it in hopes to sell it to other breeders that do not know about the glitch! I am trying to be fair to everyone, and this certainly is not fair to those of you who made legitimate Whisper Of Madness Mule - Boras by breeding a 2022 Halloween Cthulhu Editions with any other horse.

What happened to these horses and bundles?
If the person who owned contacted me via ticket or im to talk about this situation any legitimate Whisper Of Madness Mule - Bora were returned, and all other horses and bundles were made what they should have been in the first place. (I did not keep anyones horses that came forward) 

What do you do if you see one or have a mule like this? Report it to Avalon Crystal immediately! 

Moving forward what should you do if you know of someone exploiting?  You should report it to Amaretto asap. 
I hope that you will see Amaretto will always do whats in the best interest of the community, not one person or a few! 

If you have any questions about this situation or another glitch or someone exploiting please message Avalon Crystal you will stay anonymous.
