Rareness Guide 2008

[Solloby]

@Rolly-Chan: OK that was a bad example and I KNOW novembers are not worth julys

Unfortunately people tend to conveniently miss the part at the beginning about different months. Somebody asked me for my only purple Halloween dog because I'd listed it as common, so I had to explain that it was common compared to the other Halloween dogs, not common full stop.

EXACTLY

No, actually, hun, not exactly. Solloby clearly states the July pets are worth more than August, August more than September, etc, etc. It's the person's own fault if they fail to read this, and I highly suspect that any newbie who can't read that in the rarity guide is not going to read a Comparison guide.

Also this IS a full comparison guide really - each month is rarer than the next (except for the specials but I made notes about the Advent pets etc). Besides, rarity isn't something quantifiable.

The only way to make a full rarity comparison guide would be to give each pet a rarity value, with higher values indicating the pet is more common. So a July rare would be say 3, and a common January pet would be say 300 or something. But the problem with this is, people would start using the guide and insisting the number values matched as closely as possible, not taking into account a lot of other variables, and the numbers would be guesstimated in the first place meaning they cannot be accurate. Also it would take a lot of time.

And, I actually offered to do this sort of catalogue, and as I remember Firestar and a few other people shot it down as being completely pointless.

I have to disagree with your second-gen theory, Solloby. For me, the purple dog with swirls is the most common dog from that litter. I only have one of the green dogs with purple swirls.
