[cred-it sis-tuhm] - noun 
A credit system is a totally optional, motivational tool to inspire ARPG artists to be active with their animals.
Since our beloved ARPG horses are pixels, there is no way to fairly compare them and determine which ones are more valuable, unlike in real life. Credit systems are a completely fair and unbiased ranking system that helps people judge the worth of their stock. It simply adds an edge of realism into the game that, again, is completely optional. You can start counting credits whenever you want and you can stop just as easily.
If you don't wanna use it at all, then that's 100% okay!

The benefits to the credit system, besides being able to count your horse in the ranking, is that the horse passes on some credits to its offspring, making them more valuable as a potential sire/dam.
Higher ranked horses also are able to display a ribbon and/or trophy on their page to show their high status. Overall, its just some fun, not required, part of the game to motivate people to draw their animals and show off their talent.

Here's what ya have to do and how much its worth.

>> Important Guidelines! Read Please!
- All art counts for credits. The art you, your friend and your grandma drew are all equal.
- Main, active references do not count for credits. However, old refs that are unused/alternate refs can count. (Ex. Foal and 'Finest'/etc refs.)
      - 'Finest' references that use the same image of the horse just pasted onto a new background can only count once.
- Horses must be fully registered before the note is sent. 
- Make sure you follow ALL the rules. Your note will be ignored otherwise.
- You must link to all pictures / show placings / etc. to count for credits. Thumbs will get your note processed much faster!
- You may use photo BGs in your images, but they will not give you extra credits. (Ex. Full Body w/ Photo BG will only count as a Full Body.)
- Reused or free/premade backgrounds do not count for credits. If you made the background, the first use of it may be counted but subsequent uses cannot.
- Halters, blankets, wraps, etc. count as tack.
- Using reused/free lineart takes one credit off the piece's total! (Ex. A shaded, Full Body that is made with free lineart will be worth 6, not 7.)
      - Make sure to check the lineart and make sure it is okay to use for points! Some very popular linearts forbid it 
-  Please look here if you are unsure of what qualifies for extra shading credits.
- We use 3/4+ as Full Body. Tack/blankets and the angle of the horse (such as a horse pictured from the front) do not count as blocking a part of the horse, but other horses blocking it do count against it. Please look here if you are concerned about a piece being Full Body or not, as this is the absolute border for Full Body credits.

So you have credits... now what do you do with them?

Please mark which points you give for each image!
Every horse should have this or something similar on their page:

Partial Body :
--
Full Body:
--
Full Body with Tack OR BG:
--
Full Body with Tack AND BG:
--
Other Art (Not Drawn):
--
Show Placings:
--
Lineage:

-- Grand Total: --

We need the images sorted like this (points based), not by type of image (breeding/showing/training/made by others) or just a list of images with no notation. It is both for speed (we get a lot of notes) and to make sure nothing is missed. Thank you!
Any journals dated after 2/28/16 must be formatted this way to be evaluated!
New *06/08/19: The ranks of Notable/Noble/Rich/Quality Blood no longer need to be sent in for approval. New *

I had a question :)
I'm recounting one of my horses and do you also need to place the pictures for literature in a thumb? Or can those be placed in a link?
