Hello all, I have a small suggestion regarding reverse studding:

For some background information, I have seen quite a few leopon and dwarf owners claiming that it is within their right to keep cub(s) if a product of a reverse studding includes more than one dwarf/pon. While I understand it is within a seller's right to determine the terms of sale, the term "studding" itself (at least on Lioden) means that the buyer of the studding gets whatever is produced, no matter how desirable or undesirable.

Here's what I mean - male studs have absolutely no say or power over what happens with their offspring by mothers from other prides - why should this be different for females? The player buying the studding bought the studding, and so it is their right to keep anything and everything from the results of it.

Secondly, I've seen other suggestions regarding reverse studding "safety" features, involving what looks to my inexperienced eyes like an extremely complicated coding process. I believe this suggestion, if implemented, would eliminate the need for such a feature, as it clears up any confusion regarding who owns what in reverse stud litters.

So, here's my suggestion:
Add to/modify the rules regarding promised based transactions to include a section specifically about reverse studding, something along the lines of;

"Reverse studdings must be conducted under the same conditions as regular studdings. The buyer of the studding is entitled to the entire litter produced from that studding, unless they cannot pay the stud fee. In this case, the mother's owner is entitled to the litter."

As an added note to the above, the stud fee should be the buyout for trade including the cubs belonging to the buyer of the studding - this is the best way I've seen to keep things scam-free.

I also understand promise-based transactions are not being moderated anymore, but I think this small modification could cut down on the unfairness, possible scams, and confusion currently existing because of reverse studding suddenly being allowed. There are also some grey areas that I understand to be regarding things such as aging stones - what happens if a player cannot provide the aging stones for the litter? And etc.

Please comment if you have additional suggestions, pros, or cons to add to this suggestion. Thank you for reading and considering!
