RE: Suggestion: Gender before birth
I agree with Saga on this one..I think we are bringing a little too much RL into SL as having no way to know the sex of the kitten before you birth it makes LOTS of unwanted kittens. I think it would go a long way to stabilize the market in fact. Especially when I was first getting started and most of my boxes were 1 and 2 traiters that are not easy to sell, it made it very heard to recoup from an all girl or all boy week. I think, knowing the sex of the box would actually add to the fun, you still have the anticipation of waiting for the box itself, and its easy to hang on to a box if you want and/or swap down the road. And it would ease a lot of the frustration and add to the fun, especially for those trying to breed on a small scale on a buget.
I don't like the idea od a 'test kit' as much as simply blue and pink boxes. One, because the test will most likely be very expensive and therefore effectively unavailable to the majority and 2, because that alone wouldn't have the effect of removing a portion of the unwanted cats that spend their lives posed in various markets that we, their owners are paying for lol.
