NIB Coalition

Non-Inbred Coalition

 * "The Non-Inbred Coaltiion (NIBC), was a group of players who united to bring knowledge, guidance, and communal support to the Howrse Non-Inbred community. As game changes arose, they identified problems NIBers had and worked together to provide communal solutions to relieve them until the game itself destroyed the foundational concept of NIBing."

From 2009 - 2011, the Non-Inbred Coalition (NIBC) served Howrse's International Non-Inbred communty. In late 2011, that changed.

In 2012, after an interesting and unmoderated escalation in the official "[Info] NIB Horses" thread (p1000-1020), the NIBC decided to create its own community away from "mainsteam" NIBing, where players could partake in Platforms freely without the persecution of old-world thinkers. (Platforms are a series of set guidelines for certain NIB projects to ensure quality standards.) Thus, the NIB Coalition Embassy was born.

In 2013, it was decided that while Basic NIBers were still welcome to visit the Embassy, the NIBC's efforts and energy would be spent focusing on the Platform NIB community. Since this community spends more time on quality standards over speeding through their projects, it was a natural course of action that was welcomed by the current team. The team was able to focus on plans for line verification, geneology/family tree and refining the Platforms. This was the golden age for the Platform NIB community.

2014 The fundamentals of non-inbreeding were slowly were threatened and the core team could see the community's days numbered. Lanikot retired in October 2014, but continued to stay on for a few months later to tie a few loose ends.

2014 - 2015 Things changed dramatically. While NIB could technically still be possible with the upcoming changes, it grew less and less enjoyable from what the majority preferred. New NIBC members were recruited to make Platforms more competitive. This was met with both positive and negative reactions from the Platform NIB community, but they had little time to react. Unfortunately the game started to turn on the basics of NIBing which shortened the lifespan of the NIB community as a whole. Apart from Equestrian Centers being more demanding and less friendly to the NIBer, foundation horses were now being born with high Genetic Potential which defeated the whole point of NIBing from even ground. The core team of NIBC, understood that the game they once enjoyed and catered to was about to meet its end, and coupled with real life influences, several essential members decided to move on in the Fall of 2014, leaving only the newest NIBC members to continue with their projects.

2015 - Embassy Extension and the NIBC Wikia closed.
