About

 * Lanikot is mainly a Mass Multiplayer Online (MMO) gamer, focusing on RPG genres. Titles such as EverQuest Live, EverQuest II, Vanguard, Rift, Star Wars : The Old Republic fall within her main gaming sphere. She came to Howrse to pass the time between mass game releases and became addicted to the little browser game. When she isn't gaming, she is working on community management and paperwork generally for one of her guilds or the NIB Coalition. Occassionally, she'll find time and inspiration for some graphic work or even some digital painting. Though that seems far fewer these days.


 * With such little opportunity to work her own herd, Lanikot's skills in training horses are below average. (Not that time could even hope to make he a better trainer.) Among all those within the NIBC, she has the lowest progress with her horses; often rebreeding and testing time and again in the name of progressing the Platforms. However, as the founder and creator of the Non-Inbred Coalition (NIBC) for Howrse's International server, Lanikot serves as the visionary and main communicator for the group; keeping the team working together and making sure to touch base with one another to keep bonds strong and productivity churning.

Howrse History

 * 2009


 * Lanikot has been a Howrse player since August 2, 2009. On May 29, 2010, after some hard lessons, her equestrian center reached the top 500 EC Achievement, with the momentum pushing her to top 300 for a few days afterward. In June, she took her first steps into NIBing, deciding upon the Marwari breed as her main project.


 * 2010


 * Lanikot often refers to herself as "The Eternal Newbie". In 2010, she converted her equestrian center to the "NIB Newbie FAQ" to help other NIB newbies get the much desired information they needed to learn how to participate in the Non-Inbreeding project. The NIB Newbie FAQ was once converted to website form and titled "NIB Notes", but was shortly taken down after another NIBer stole the website content, giving it a similar website title and refusing to give proper credit to its original creator.


 * Decenber 9, 2010 was when Lanikot opened a forum and created the NIB Coalition. It's purpose was to serve the International NIB Community by identifying any problems that arise and provide communal support to all NIBers.


 * 2011


 * On November 12, 2011, following a very disappointing display of conduct from certain NIB members, Lanikot stated in the [Info] NIB Horses topic (Official NIB Thread), that she was leaving the mainstream NIB community to focus on more challenging projects; the focus of this being Platform Non-Inbreeding, which by this time has fully created itself and was already giving rise to other Platforms behind the scenes.


 * 2012


 * In January 2012, Lanikot posed a survery asking to name her new equestrian center to something more deserving of it's new aims. The new equestrian center (EC) aimed to focus on safety, preservation of the integrity of the NIB herd, goal listing, herd verification to accurately make sure players who claim top rank are those who earned it. In addition, NIBC's tried and true motto of providing communal support still remains, though this time more focused on a smaller and more welcoming group of NIB players.


 * 2014
 * Lanikot announced her retirement from the NIBC in the Embassy (her EC) on September 9, 2014, and was officially retired by October 2, 2014.
