[ Stat Tracker How-To | EB Foal Prompts | Stat Rank Up Chain | 2018 - 2019 Stat System Updates ]
- Stat Tracker How-To
- This is a guide on how to set up a group approved Stat Tracker.
- Equus Ballator Foal Prompts
- If you have a foal with inherited stats in it's breeding note, it will need to complete two of these prompts to unlock those stats.
- Stat Rank Up Chain
- Please click this link to have your Ballator's stats confirmed.
- 2018 - 2019 Stat System Updates
- All updates for The Stat System prior to the The Monthly Newsletter are recorded here. Please check out The Monthly Newsletter for additional System Updates.
THE STAT RUBRIC
Below is the acceptable rubric for your inherited stats. Please do not alter the rubric in any way. Attack Strength and Experience must be listed on your rubric, even if they are 0.
- Gaits: 0
- Dressage: 0
- Jumping: 0
- Intelligence: 0
- Stamina: 0
- Speed: 0
- Strength: 0
- Experience: 0 **
- Attack Strength: 0 **
**Experience and Attack Strength are only attainable through special events and cannot be inherited**
Each horse will have a set of areas in which stats can be placed.
You get to choose where stats are distributed, unless specified by items or quests.
These stats are used in competitions and fights to determine winners based on combinations required to perform well.
You must place your stats into this tracker in order for them to be confirmed.
The sum of all stats in the rubric MUST equal the total stats you have achieved.
HELPFUL RESOURCES
For old group horses or those with odd decimal values in their stats (i.e. 10.75), use this calculator: SINGLE HORSE CALCULATOR to round out values. Only .5 and .0 values are accepted now!
For determining how much a foal inherits from their parents, use this calculator: FOAL STAT CALCULATOR.
foals will receive HALF the stats from the sire and HALF the stats from the dam in all categories except for Experience and Attack Strength
HOW TO EARN STATS
There are many ways to earn stats within the Equus Ballator group. Below you will find the stat breakdowns for different types of artwork and literature. The stat count for any piece of artwork or literature must be listed to be accepted into the group. This allows the admins to verify the correct stat count.
The stats you can earn from any artwork or literature may go into any category EXCEPT for Experience and Attack Strength. Experience and Attack Strength stats are won in competitions and shows or can sometimes be awarded with special items or quests.
If you ever have any questions about the stat system and how it is counted, please feel free to ask the admins and they will be glad to help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARTWORK
You can acquire stats with your own drawings or drawings that other people have done.
All art must be colored. (Grayscale drawings can fall under this, as long as its "shaded" and not plain lineart. Horse's coats must be depicted in greyscale art.)
All artwork must be original. Re-useable lineart does not count for stats and will not often be allowed in group activities.
- DA pixel Icon: +1 point
- Chibi: +1 point fullbody. +.5 for headshot
- Headshot: (less than 49% of body showing): +1 points
- Full body/Half Body: (half body must include at least neck, shoulder and portion of barrel): +3 points ** companion bonuses only count for this full body/half body
- Shading: +1 point fullbody. +.5 for headshot.
- Does not stack. Only applies to an image once, not per object shaded.
- Must show effort. You cannot, for example, have only two legs/half the horse shaded unless the light source allows.
- Acceptable/Unacceptable shading examples: SHADING EXAMPLES
- Simple BG: +2 points
* Flat coloured, no shading
* Solid colors, patterns, and stock photographs do not gain simple background stats. Small backgrounds within borders will be counted as simple. - Detailed BG: +3 points
* Has shading. Entire background must be shaded to count, not just parts of it. - Tack: +2 per full-set of tack, +1 for one piece.
* Stacks for all images except Stat Grids. For non-stat grid images, tack stat applies per character wearing tack. - Every extra character: +2 points for fullbody; +1 for headshots; +.5 for Chibis. "Extra Character" can refer to another horse, animal, or handler/human.
- Photomanipulation: +5 points
- Collaborations: Count normally. Stat cap of 50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAT GRIDS
**All stat grids uploaded after August 1st 2018 will have a cap of 300 Stats Total**
Stat grids are any image with multiple backgrounds and/or panels in one submission, including Sequential Art (Comics).
- Each Headshot: +1
- Each Fullbody: +3
- Each Chibi Fullbody: +1
- Each Different Background: +2
- Literature may only be applied to Sequential Art (Comics).
- Literature stats will be the same as mentioned below in the Literature Section.
- Shading: +1 for the entire image
- No Companion or Tack bonuses apply to Stat Grids.
- There is a cap of 300 Total Stats on all Stat Grids
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANIMATIONS
Animations have a base stat (simple or complex) and element stats. These are not 'per frame'. Base for the picture (the 'base' on which the animation runs) + base for extra characters/shading, etc + base for it being animated = the total stat count.
- Base for Animations:
- Complex: +10 stat (3+ characters, hand drawn running frames, changes in shape per object, etc)
- Simple: +5 stat (1-2 characters, blinking, static things moving across page, etc)
All other stats count as normal (bg, shading, etc.). Extra characters that are moving gain an extra stat: Simple movements such as blinking, moving one leg, etc are +1 per extra. Complex such as running, jumping, etc, are +2. Static extra characters are the normal +2. (For example, if your extra character was blinking, it would add +3.)
Example: Fullbody with simple background and 3 characters running would be:
Fullbody +3, Extra characters, complex +8, Simple BG +2, Complex animation +10
TOTAL: 23 stats
Example: Headshot with complex background and simple animation:
Headshot +1, complex BG +3, simple animation +5
TOTAL: 9 stats
Example: Fullbody gallop animation of horse chasing prey with moving background:
Fullbody +3, Extra Character (complex) +4, complex background +3, Complex animation +10
TOTAL: 20 stats
Stat Grid Example: A 10 square stat grid with shaded headshots and backgrounds would be:
10 headshots (x1) + 10 backgrounds (x2) + shading (1)
TOTAL: 31 stats per horse
Mixed Stat Grid Example: A 20 square stat grid with 10 full bodies and 10 headshots and half of them are shaded with backgrounds
10 fullbodies (x3) + 10 headshots (x1) + 20 backgrounds (x2) + NO SHADING (shading must be over the whole image)
TOTAL: 60 stats per horse
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LITERATURE
Please view our guide on what will count for stats in a lit entry and what will not:
A Guide to Literary Submissions
- Every 200 Words: +1 stat. 100 words do not equal .5 stats; only multiples of 200.
- Extra Characters: +2 for each. Only applies to characters who are an important part of the plot and/or story; must have at least a minimum of 2 paragraphs with the extra character being involved and contributing to the story. It does not apply to a brief mentioning of characters or characters stringed into the same actions.
- Like Collaborations, the maximum amount of stats a single literary entry can gain is 50 stats.
- For ROLEPLAYS, you only count for stats the words you write. This ensures that both parties are properly compensated for their work.
- Items and Companion Bonuses may be counted for in literature if they are mentioned properly in the story see (Link to new lit guide) for proper examples. Companions must be present in a minimum of 2 paragraphs to count. Crown/Head Gear must be mentioned a minimum of 2 times to gain bonuses.
- Extra characters for Roleplays may be applied to characters who are an integral part of the ENTIRE story not just a few mentions in a couple of paragraphs/posts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NON-GROUP HOSTED SHOWS AND/OR EVENTS
You must be able to prove placing from a journal, rosette with your horse's name and placing on it or something similar on your tracker.
- Place 1st in any show: 5 stat points
- Place 2nd in any show: 4 stat points
- Place 3rd in any show: 3 stat points
- Place 4th in any show: 2 stat points
- Place 5th or lower in any show: 1 stat point
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
You must include the following information in the description of any submission to the group:
- Links to the reference of any Equus Ballator(s) depicted in the artwork or literature
- A breakdown of the stats for the piece in addition to the total stats
- Clearly identify any prompt being completed (i.e. Monthly Quest, Foal Prompt, Event Prompt)
For your convenience, if you would like you can use the following form for this information to keep it organized:
Equus Ballator(s) Depicted: (link to references)
Group Prompt(s): (if applicable)
Stat Breakdown:
Stat Total:
ABOUT RANKING UP
- You must keep a journal or a stash file containing links to all art and the stat count of the pieces for each horse. Read about how to create a stat tracker and see examples here: How to Make a Stat Tracker
- Use the form listed at the top of this thread to submit your stats for approval: HERE
- Please only post one horse per comment and limit your New Rank Up comments to 10 new posts a week
- Your rank is only approved when you are replied to with an “approved” response and the rank shield is applied to your import page. When the import is submitted, your current stat rubric will be posted too. Example Here!
- Only these confirmed stats on import pages are passed on through breedings.
- When stats are confirmed, please mark where you achieved the rank on your tracker with the stat total. Example Here!
- Your Ballator must have at least 50 total stat points in order to confirm stats
- Your Ballator must be registered with the group (have an accepted adult reference) in order to confirm stats and claim prizes.
- Do not add artwork to your stat tracker while it is under active review by an admin as this makes it very difficult to confirm stat totals.
- This means if an admin has asked you to make corrections to your stat tracker, make those changes but do not add any other art that alters the totals!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW PRIZES WORK
- Please note that Highlord Gifts and items are not automatically equipped when they are claimed.
- Highlord Gifts need to go through the normal application process HERE
- Highlord Gifts must be claimed at the time of your horse's ranking up; even if you do not plan on applying them immediately, you must still claim them in order to add them in the future. You cannot claim them after your horse is past the level the gifts belong to.
- Items are added to your bank and you can equip them to your Ballator through the Denarii Hub HERE
- You must use the bank to get the Denarii equivalent of the item in your rank, which you can do here: Exchange Items for Denarii
- You don't have to link a hunting tracker but you can link your stat confirmation comment as proof
- You must state all of the prizes you wish to claim for a rank. We assume that any prizes not listed are not desired. As a courtesy, Stat Admins may ask for clarification but this is not required and it is your responsibility to claim all desired prizes.
- For example, if you don't claim the 100 Denarii for Novice this Denarii will not be added to your inventory and cannot be claimed at a later date.
- Legendary Rank Stat Import claims will be limited to 3 claims a month maximum to avoid designer burnout. You are free to confirm more than 3 Legendary horses a month, but please be mindful of the claiming notes sent to the group.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BALLATORS WHO RANKED UP IN THE OLD SYSTEM
- Follow the same above process for any Ballatorss that ranked up in the old stat system (i.e. by sending in notes)
- You get to keep all the old stat system rewards, but you will be given the rank associated with the new system
- Breeding slots unlocked in the old system carry over into the new system.
- For example, if you unlocked 2 breeding slots in the last system those count as the unlocked slots gained in the new 'Advanced' and 'Expert' ranks, since those are the first two tiers where extra slots are now earned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BALLATORS BORN WITH INHERITED STATS
- If your breeding note was sent in after May 1st, 2018 your Ballator must complete 2 Monthly Quest Challenges and/or 2 Foal Prompts in order to unlock their inherited stats
- Challenges may be from any month and completing 2 different prompts from the same month counts as 2 challenges.
- No past monthly challenges may be used. For example, a monthly quest from April 2018 would be invalid
- Up to 3 Ballators may complete their quests in the same image/literature piece
- Once the challenges have been completed, follow the Ranking Up process above and include links to the completed monthly quests
- Monthly Quest Challenges can be found on the front of the EquusBallator main page.
- Foal Prompts can be found HERE or linked at the top of this journal.
- You are allowed to Mix 'N Match Monthly Quests and Foal Prompts; you are able to do one from each if you desire.

I just wanted to check before I had this finished:
Half/Fullbody Characters: +67
Headshot Characters: +66
^ Different b/c of the point difference between headshots/fullbodies as the main character.
There are 7 headshots, and 29 full/halfbodies. The headshots are in blue, and I wanted to check that I had assigned halfbodies/headshots correctly. ^^

Just wanting to check something here...we can reuse linearts for references, right? they just won't earn any stats for the "other" horses because they're reused? o.o
or is it no reused lineart whatsoever ? o:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are 100% about the reused lines! The only thing we don't allow at all to use are "free to use" linearts - it would have to be a lineart that you created, was gifted to you, or was commissioned!

Hey there! Looks like this horse's stats are already being reviewed HERE .
It is against our policies to re-post for stat review when it is already being looked at by one of our staff members. It may take more than 23 hours for someone to get back to you so we would appreciate a little bit of patience. Thank you!

This may be a stupid question, but in the foal prompts If we were doing the Take Me to Church one, could we feature one of the highlords in literature (ex. talking to the foal and the foal learning about them)

Yes! That would be fine-- as long as it fits into the prompt.

If we write literature for our ballators in other language (native language isn't English) can we also count this for stats? I can try to translate a small part of literature to make sure that this is about my ballators (however I think this will be visible if someone put my literature even in google translate)

Just out of curiosity, if a ballator gained enough stat levels to get the prize Cornelius in stellis via Hannibal, but they already won it through Hannibal’s raffle. They wouldn’t be able to apply it because they’ve successfully achieved it once through Hannibal, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Correct! Highlord gifts can only be applied to a horse once, no matter the means of achieving them!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Soooo, I still haven't really dipped into the world of breeding in the group yet, and I'm fixing to try and send one or two in soon, but I wanna make sure that I understand this correctly
"foals will receive HALF the stats from the sire and HALF the stats from the dam in all categories except for Experience and Attack Strength"
so Exp and AS are not passed onto foals, regardless of whether they are included in the parents' "approved" stats for a rank? But half of all the other "normal" stats get passed on - so everything from gaits to strength? o:
(not nitpicking, I just wanna make sure I have it down correct so that I don't goof it up and give you all a headache 
edit: and do we have to include the parents' stats in the breeding note in order for them to be "unlockable" for the foal to inherit or...? is that checked based on like, the BDA plaques or something? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is correct. As the journal states, AS and E are only gained through special items or events and are not inherited. You will be given your foal's inherited stats in the breeding note, like this:
If the stats are confirmed and logged on their plaque, then the sire and dam will pass stats. If there is no confirmed stat level, they will not pass stats.

if I were to make a two panel comic strip would each panel count as it’s own drawing? thank you for the help!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey there! So sorry for the late reply! Comics would fall under "Stat Grid" rules:
STAT GRIDS
- Stat grids are any image with multiple backgrounds and/or panels in one submission
- Each Headshot: +1
- Each Fullbody: +3
- Each Different Background: +2
- Shading: +1 for the entire image
- No Companion or Tack bonuses apply to Stat Grids.
- There is a cap of 300 Total Stats on all Stat Grids
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hmm how many stats would this be? Since it's a pagedoll I'm not sure whether or not to count it like regular headshots or not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Since they're still normally drawn headshots and not chibi'd I would still count them as normal, even though they're a pagedoll.
So:
1 || Headshot
1 || Extra Character
0.5 || Shading
-----------------
= 2.5 Stats total
I would maybe suggest to the artist to submit it to the group for an accurate and "official" count, though! Hope that helps!

*wiggles in again* so, I have a question...I'm drawing some birds as part of the background for one of the WWU prompts....problem is
I'm....not good at birds 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey there! It's hard to tell for sure without seeing the final product, but it's likely the birds wouldn't count if they are part of the background. As an example from my own work - the butterflies in this piece WWU - Butterfly Butt didn't count because they're small and used more as background objects rather than extra characters in the piece but the birds in this one feathers did because they're more detailed and an active part of the picture.
That's something we'll check when you submit it for review, however, as it'll be much easier to determine when it's all finished!

When we apply a companion that adds stats based on art being drawn (ie a bat gives +2 gaits per fullbody), do we have to mark said pieces down on a separate section of their stat tracker? Or is it enough to just have the proof comment on the tracker itself and say that they gain +2 gaits for the companion?

You don't have to put them in a separate section, but it IS recommended that you indicate that there are companion stats so we can double check them-- just like how we ask that members indicate artwork stored in stash or not submitted to the group. I've included my stat tracker for Spite below as an example:

* = Art that has not been submitte
Underneath his Stat Shield I have this:
* = Art that has not been submitted to the EquusBallator group
= Art featuring stats earned from Princess Sheila Tequila (Dog Companion | +1 Speed, +2 Intelligence)
Any artwork not in the group gets an asterix (*). Any artwork with his dog equipped gets a pawprint ( ). This is super helpful on large trackers because it helps the stat admins know, at a glance, which pieces may need some extra eyes on them.
Remember: companions cannot be retroactively applied to artwork or literature and the link to where the companion has been approved as equipped should be on their reference-- these are both things that we check. It's also best to indicate on your artwork, in the stat count, any gained companion stats.

I figured it would probably make it easier, yeah. So I made a little section for "Fullbodies with Bat" to count them onwards from when s/he was applied. And a proof comment and date at the top

A question about stat trackers:
Since a Google Sheets tracker is in the examples, can a tracker be located on an external website otherwise? A tracker doesn't seem to require a commenting feature, it just has to include certain things, and I really like making my own individual trackers. >u> So is something similar to these allowed:
varjosade.fi/arpg/trackers/reo…
varjosade.fi/harpg/trackers/be…

I uh forgot to keep the link to the approval comments but I had a gift of Gemma approved for these two;
But I don't remember where it was. (That's my bad of course.) I just know I need the approval comments as proof. I was going to find a designer so the Gemma could be designed but then I remembered this.

Hey howdy Celine! Please mark all confirmations on your trackers! ^-^ The admins have limited time around their real world jobs and their internet jobs! I was just finishing up in the stat system so I went and looked for you before I shut my computer down, but one of us may not be immediately available to search through the chains!
--ID 591 Confirmation
--ID 1331 Confirmation
Here's one of my stat trackers so you can see how I mark off my confirmations as an example: Stat Tracker | Otia
Under the plaque, I have each rank and as he confirms them I link to the approval comments!
Have a great day!

Thank you for your help!

Question; Would portraying our horses as humans count for stats?? I have one horse (for now, at least) that I'd like to make be able to switch between equine and human forms and just want to know if human portrayals are allowed/would count for stats?

As long as it is clearly identifiable as your EB then yes!
