Hoard Discussion Thread

[Shinryu]

Yes, it often irks people to see hoarders having pets they want badly. The most common argument, especially against rare hoards, is that it's greedy and that it leaves less pets for others.
But it's completely ignoring the fact that collecting does the same.

[Example time]
Does it matter whether I have a full set of Advents or an equal amount of one and the same pet? Obviously there were never enough of them for every member to get one.
For every vixen that's on my account, other list pets have been put into circulation. I traded my BMD, Timberwolf and BA for one each.
And it's better this way, I'd say. I like the vixen advent. I do not like most of the other advent dogs.
Instead of keeping them for a full collection, I traded them, to people who wanted them more than I do. It's just fair. I'd feel terrible about having a BA on my account without even liking it, knowing how many people on this site are longing to get one.

To say hoarding is greedy seems wrong to me.
I have a lot of the same pet, yeah. But I traded other pets for them. It's not like they were all thrown at me for free (especially since I rather dislike accepting free stuff). I also overpay most the time.

Hoarding is another way of playing this game. And while I can see how it's frustrating for some people to see that another user has possibly dozens of a pet they really, really want, it's still no reason to hate. Do people with full collections get the same hate?
I personally feel very inspired when I see what other people have achieved. Motivated. Encouraged.
It shows me that anything is possible.
It just doesn't come for free.


Edit: On a much brighter note, I recently started a whole two new endless hoards.
I really had it coming.


The whole gray chicken litter minus the rooster (which I have a separata, limited hoard of), and the above outcome of the ...what are they even called?

Anyway, I started the chicken hoard because OMG chickens and OMG achromatic designs!
I'm a sucker for gray designs. Gray is beautiful. And those chickens are absolutely beautiful in their simplicity.

The dogs? Now, I like the whole litter and have a minihoard of the PPS and its grown-up version, but this dog is just so incredibly awesome, I couldn't stand the thought of having to stop at a certain number.
Also, red is my favourite colour. And this shade of it reminds me of blood. /awkwardmoment

I have tried hoarding before, but a lot of the time I seem to get not interested in hoarding that pet, so then I move on to the next pet that I like. I then decide that I don't want my hoard and put them in my trade fodder. Although the only thing that I do hoard and don't get tired of is items. I hardly ever use my items, but I just love having them.

I only dislike hoarders who scam. (Which is against CS rules anyway. :3)

I laugh whenever I see someone hating on hoarders because Tess herself has a hoard, too xD (includes uncommon and rare pets) If the admin hoards, then it's obviously okay for hoarders to hoard, so complaining ain't gonna do anything. -nods-

Theoretically, hoarding is bad because someone could get every single id number of a certain pet on the site, and there would literally be nothing left for anything else.

Realistically, that's not going to happen.
1) If you're hoarding a more common pet... well, good luck trying to get several thousand (or even several hundred thousand) of that pet!
2) If you're hoarding a rarer pet... good luck trying to get enough fodder to trade for all of them~
3) If you're hoarding a pet that is rare enough to be rereleased, then good luck trying to hunt down all of the pet that was rereleased!

What do you hoard? x Pearlescent puppis
Why do you hoard them? oh gog, I don't feel like typing it up again. Here's what I wrote when I first started: "there is so much i could say, but let me make this short; when i adopted rosaline from the pound i loved her design. the delicate swirls corresponding with each dot, soothing colors to match its beautiful eyes, and their unique markinds above the eye; oh! i simply knew i must have them all! <3
call me selfish as ya like, it doesn't bother me."
How large is your hoard? 3,758 puppis and counting.
What is your goal for the hoard? 200,000. I hope to reach it 'fore the year ends ^^
Do you overpay for hoard pets/items? Hmm.. I think I do but not enough. If I want to reach my goal I'll have to start offering rares
What was the first pet/item in your hoard? x Rosaline, who was also my first Pound pet. ^^

My hoard is coming pretty slow...
But thanks to a sweet gift, I got two more hoardies :3


I'd be happy to help you, Moonheart. c:

eh I get it, but hatings not kool either, since it's their "dreamies". Plus some of the people that hoard those rares have been on here for a long time and just worked at it, or literally paid for it.


I dunno, but I have abit more respect for some of the Rare+ hoarders. It shows me that they are smart and respectful. They know how and when to trade, they're fair, and are probably the most hardworking of all CS users. (In the trading community, anyway) And they're polite. I've never spoken to a rude R+ hoarder. ^^

Well, I just finished my last open hoard. Now what?

[DragonWizard]

I have many collections(hoards). Some are just small collections and some are large.
What do you hoard? These are just some of my collections
My Dragons
My fire pups
My holly pups
My solar pups
My shooting stars bunnies
My dragon pups
My 2nd Gen dragon pups

Why do you hoard them? I love their designs so much and can't get enough of them

How large is your hoard? My biggest collection is 84 pups.

What is your goal for the hoard? All the ones above are never ending

Do you overpay for hoard pets/items? I try not to but yes sometimes I have to

What was the first pet/item in your hoard?

Pet's name: Warrior

I know some people don't like hoarders because the pets become harder to come by. Most of my collections the pets were very common when I started collecting them.
Happy hunting, DragonWizard

Wheee hoard conversations. C:

What do you hoard? I hoard lots, but my most important hoard is the BMD.

Why do you hoard them? I'm not entirely sure why, it just kind of happened. The BMD was one of my dreampets (still is really, the other was the grey border collie). I got my first BMD in October 2009, and then I managed to trade for another one, and didn't really want to trade it away. Before I knew it, I had like, 3 or 4 and Chry said to me 'wow you're hoarding them aren't you?', and I just replied, 'guess so'.

How large is your hoard? Currently I'm at 72 *obscene crying*.

What is your goal for the hoard? I don't have a goal. I know that if I set one, I wont stick with it, I'll just keep getting more and more and more.

Do you overpay for hoard pets/items? Because the BMDs are so hard to find up for trade (and for a fair trade at that), I usually do overpay a bit. I try not to feed to it's crazy demand by offering something stupid ridiculous for one (apparently people offer balloon dogs?). I try to stick to close to where it is on the rares list.

What was the first pet/item in your hoard? I'm pretty sure Miggle here was my first ever BMD.

Same. There have been players in the past (and even some that currently play) that I pretty much avoided because of their attitude and the way they went about obtaining pets. I don't even like what people call "ninja'ing" (which as far as I can tell is sending a open ended trade and letting the other person pick what they want but only accepting if it's very unfair to them).

3) If you're hoarding a pet that is rare enough to be rereleased, then good luck trying to hunt down all of the pet that was rereleased!

Not to mention the inactive accounts from way back when.

Congrats on your hoard they look amazing together

['Possum]

Congrats everybody on your hoard progress. ^_^

I've posted on here before and won't go through answering the form again. I just wanted to mention that I've got two new hoards that I've been actually collecting for some time and didn't realize it.

It's come to my attention recently that I seem to have an unnatural obsession with appendages on pets. I've always known I love little paws. Paws with white on them, paws with little black foot bottoms, all kinds of different accents on paws and toes have always drawn my attention and made me want more of them.

Now I've realized I also adore poofie curly tails

Pet's name: Gilbert
Gilbert up there will take you to that group. Everything and anything with pooftie curly fluffy tails on them.

And ears. Specifically half pricked or half broken looking ears. Either both ears or one or the other.

Pet's name: ♥Scotch♥
Scotch will take you to that group.

And the ones with little half broken ears and poofie triple tails? I'm in Heaven. There are only 2 on the site as far as I can remember. One's in my siggie and this is the other.

Pet's name: ♥Regal♥
I believe I may spend the rest of my days here on ChickenSmoothie gleefully collecting these lovely dogs and be happy if I never get a trade for anything else ever again.

^_^

I've heard hoarders get a lot of hate, but I haven't as of yet.
And my common hoard is up to nearly 300 *Cheers*

Depending on what you hoard c: Like.... I get no hate from my spider and bat hoard, but I have a dark shima BW (main list) and a UR BW hoard in progress, and I get some hate for having main list hoards.
