The idea is simple, can we change a rarity of a pet before natural rate?
Natural rate being the slow increase of active accounts which changes the ratio. Rarity changes over time slowly, usually uncommon/common changes.
So the idea is to hoard several of one outcome, and delete the pet to see if the sudden drop in amounts will effect the rarity at a faster rate then the original planned intent. Most likely it will, but to see if it can be done and is just not a probable theory is the project.

Also, if your new to the project. I would like to specify that if the horse goes up in rarity, it's not going to become a Rare/Very Rare. Maybe not even an uncommon. Please do not think that these horses are going to become "super valuable" after this is all over.
Any suggestions are appreciated to bettering this project.

OMG so rare! (less than 1 pet per 1000 users)
Very rare (less than 1 pet per 80 users)
Rare (less than 1 pet per 25 users)
Uncommon (less than 1 pet per 5.5 users)
Common (less than 1 pet per 3 users)
Very common (more than 1 pet per 3 users)

There is currently 488,820 accounts on Chicken Smoothie.
This includes active and inactive accounts.

The current way to go about deleting these is to do it in increments, so we can track how many we started with, how many we deleted, and at what dates.
At this time, if you decide to delete as you go rather then hoard a lot, please record and keep track of every 50 pets you delete. A marker will be applied next to your name for each 50 you delete.
