Can hardly blame ya, though. Bernouli's and Jayfrost's outcomes had me heavily tempted, too. I think Bern's outcome this year is easily one of my all-time favourite staff dogs.
But oh man, I can only imagine what a pain it's gonna be for you to complete those all, should you decide to hoard them. If I've ever learned anything from looking through your hoards, it's that your goals are usually in the hundreds.
I'm not even sure how you have the stamina to keep collecting them all; I die a little inside every time I start another 100+ hoard :')
I wish you much success with the endeavor!
I'll admit my stamina does get depleted after a while. I haven't actively hunted for my hoardies since I joined FR actually. I'm enjoying the little break, as it really does get tiring after a while, especially when I toss in like 5 new hoards a month! It's a never-ending cycle. Also, I love when events like LOLO roll around because then my hoardies come to me ;^3 In all honesty though, if I'm getting frustrated hunting for one pet I just stop and look for another, more recent outcome to try and make myself feel accomplished. It keeps me sane.
Overall I guess just the feeling of accomplishment I get whenever I close one of my monstrous hoards is reason enough to keep doing them. I feel ridiculously happy and proud each time I put that little check mark next to a hoard's name <3
I've also been known to cut down my goals from higher numbers to just 150 if I've either a) Decided the original goal is impossible to reach without divine intervention OR b) I've fallen out of love with the pet(s) I've been hoarding for that goal but not enough to disband it altogether.
