Species ratings(and rating-based directory)

Posted 1 month, 12 days ago (Edited 1 month, 5 days ago) by SpaceHyena

Hello! So I had been wandering around looking at various lorekeepers I have accounts on because I frankly forgot that they exist. While I was checking them out, I was mentally rating them. So I thought....you know what, let's actually rate some species.

Disclaimer: Just because a species has a low rating in one area or another doesn't mean they're automatically bad. I am also not rating lore or art of the species, only purely mechanical aspects.

I am also rating them on a out of 5 rating scale. Un

What I am rating are as follows:

Affordability(adopts) - How affordable official adopts appear to be(0 being that you can expect to pay close to 4 digit sums, 5 being that the adopts hover around 2 digit sums in IRL currency)
Afordability(MYOS) - How affordable MYOs are(See above, however, this will also look at pecies currency, too)
Ease of entry - How easy it is to join in (0 being that you could take 6 or more months to get a character without buying an adopt, 5 being that you're able to get a MYO almost immediately)
Prompt payouts - How balanced the payouts for prompts are (0 being that there's no prompts at all, 5 being that prompts are balanced)
Art payouts - How decent art payouts are outside of prompt art(0 being that there' no art payout outside prompt art, 5 being that they're generous)
Ease of use - How easy it is to participate(0 being that onboarding is complex or confusing, 5 being that your grandma could figure it out)
Ease of voiding - How easy it is to get a character taken out of the species(0 being that you cannot void your characters at all, 5 being that you can easily take your characters out without doing much more than asking they get deleted from the species databanks)
Activities - If there's any activities outside of doing prompts or if there's events. (0 being no events or non-art activities, 5 being that there's frequent, balanced events or non art activities)

I may also evaluate a category at a 0/5 if there is no data at all in that category.

Any notes will be further thoughts on the above categories.


The database


The sheet may change as I figure out better ways for it to be usable a a look-up.

What I need to rate your species is as follows

Species/group name: (If a multispecies group, please list group)
Species openness: (Open, closed, semi. use semi if there's a mix of open and closed species)
Link: (If multiple, please label what type.)
Age rating: (The minimum age someone needs to be to join)
Species type: (Feral/anthro/humanoid. Use mixed if there's multiple body plans or multipl types of species)
Tags: (Any short phrases/words that could describe your species, including TWs)

You must own the species you're posting for reveiw. I will not reveiw a species that is posted here by a third party.

If your species has anything that you need to be a member to see, let me know. In those cases, I may need to join in order to gather the needed data. Do not send me back end data, as the data gathered must be available to the average FTO.

To anyone hosting a species directory: Just shoot me a message if you want to use the data from my reveiwing

Note: Especially with a new species, feel free to ask for a reevaluation after a few months. Any species has room to grow and I'm evaluating only one the state of the species when started out.

Oh, all of the prompts we’ve done are currently in my staff-only archive channel. If you’d like I could show you what the prompt payouts have been! Also, tomorrow I am releasing 3 things; an egg hunt themed event, 4 raffles, and another prompt for the Seafools members :3

It's all good. ^^ I'll probably pop in to scope things out in a bit(Probably tomorrow?). Today's been a bit exhausting and I need a nap.

FrappeFox

Oh, I'd appreciate it if you could(Maybe shoot what the payouts have been in a private message? Whatever you're more comfortable with). I've just been going off what I can publicly observe with my ratings and only sticking around as long as it takes to make basic observations(Cause discord has that blasted server limit)

SpaceHyena

Could I send you a screenshot of them on discord? ^^

SpaceHyena

FrappeFox

Yup! You'll probably have to shoot me a friend request first cause I think I have my DMs set to friends only.

FrappeFox

Sorry,, your friend requests are closed ^^”

SpaceHyena

Fixed that! FrappeFox

Due to a cat chucking a glass of juice at me, I need a new computer mouse. I will be hunting one(excuse the pun), so any further entries will be delayed.

SpaceHyena

Borrowing a mouse from a relative until I can get a new cordless one.

I'll be back to doing this.

SpaceHyena

New mouse! So I am reliably back to this. ^^

Adding them!

I do have a GIF-blocker, so that does block any animated images, but so far I'm not seeing any broken images. ^^

Thank you for the review!

We'll take your notes into account! Some of the older pages are in need of a revamp haha
This was really a big help!

You're welcome! And feel free to do with the notes as you will. ^^ My thoughts on looking are truly just my thoughts and not a 'you must do this' or 'this is always bad'.

i wasnt so sure when i saw the title of this thread, but this is pretty neat o/ i think you should maybe tweak things a bit so that people know this can be a resource they can used when exploring new species, rn only species owners would click.

Does the new title work? I'm not the greatest with them so I'm open to suggestions.

And I'll be adding your species in a bit(I jut woke up XD)
