*DISCONTINUED* Rares List Guide (1 March 2019)

[kee;]

What else do we still need to write/edit?
I actually have some free time this evening and I’m dying to use it productively (instead of productively on writing my thesis) to help write up stuff for the list.

"What's happening?"

That better go at the top LOL

Alright... IN composing this, I think it's best to have a sort of abstract with what is happening. Most college editorials have this to formally introduce a topic. These provide brief introductions to what's happened, topisc, and basic conclusions. The things Kee listed I feel should be put after a small abstract with how they have things listed and this would negate the use of a "What's happening section". Just a food for thought.

That’s not a bad idea at all. How do you think it should be reworded?
From what you said, it seems like something should be added to explain what’s going on with the list?

My full to-do list to accomplish the front page post includes: (note: not listed in order of importances)(What I have SO FAR)

- fully state that the value have been incorrect on the list for a long time.
-Note the misplacements of pets on the current list. (Grapes, Bengal, eat me, bolded/red pets)
- Note that this list was often considered an official list by the FTT (Saying pets were worth values based on this list without disclaimers)
-Mention the Google poll and it's VERY IMPORTANT effects on the threads outcome.
-Make sure to clarify pets do not lose rarity with the closure of this list. People may value pets as they wish.
-Mention Solby's post/guide about store pet rarities.

I don't think the google poll was a poll--it was a survey for users to fill out to explain their votes and was purely for educational purposes

Here’s Solloby’s store pet guide so everything is together in the last few pages of this thread:



Here is the current Store Pet section draft:

CS Store Pet Guide




Store pets can be purchased with Chicken Dollars (C$), this website's virtual currency.
C$ can be purchased with real money, or through trading with other players.

Store pets are released once every two months. Once a store pet is retired, it is never put up for sale again, but you can trade them with other players if you want an older/retired store pet. Most store pets become Rare or Very Rare once they gain their rarity tags. The oldest of store pets are now OMGSR.

Current store pets can be bought individually here
Current store pets can be bought as a set for a discount here

Tess does not consider Store Pets to be part of a complete collection (2009). It is up to you as an individual whether or not you wish to trade for store pets or consider them part of your normal collection.

Trading Retired Store Pets




The following information should be kept in mind when trading retired store pets.
You should pay attention to the store pet's age (year of release) and rarity tag, but also...


• Older store pets are usually considered more valuable because they are usually rarer
  
• More popular store pets were bought more, so there are more around meaning they are lower rarity
  
• Less popular store pets were bought less, so there are less around meaning they are higher rarity
• Some pets could only be purchased as part of a full set, so they have a higher rarity than their littermates
• Store pets are usually Rare or Very Rare. The oldest retired store pets are now OMGSR.
• Store pets are never rereleased, so they increase in rarity compared to normal pets but only once per year.
• Store pets usually cost 20C$ when released, but are worth more once they are retired.

Store Pet Historical Information




Skelebun & Orange Cerberus were the first Store Pets. They were more expensive than other store pets, and only available from Oct - Nov 2009. This makes them the most rare and valuable of store pets. Orange Cerberus was more expensive but more well liked, so more were purchased compared to Skelebun. This means Skelebun is the rarest of all store pets and this was why it was first to go OMGSR.

Drink Me & Eat Me were also released in Oct 2009, but were available until Feb 2010 so their rarity is lower. Drink Me was more popular than Eat Me so more were bought which is why it has a lower rarity tag. This is the same for Green Liontail and Raven Dog. They have higher demand but also higher supply. More people like them, but there are more around.

Winged Green Android was the first store pet that could not be purchased individually, only as part of a set. This means this outcome is rarer than its littermates because less would have been bought. This will be the same for all store pets that are set exclusives (only available when you buy the full set). Even today there are store pets released this way.

fjkdas LOL I just noticed the first post

@Thovatos you have broken code in the first post so that's why it looks funny and the site footer at the bottom is all spread out; I think you need to remove the quote tag at the very beginning

[Thovatos]

I don't think the google poll was a poll--it was a survey for users to fill out to explain their votes and was purely for educational purposes

Survey/poll. They served the same purpose really; I guess it would be better to say it was a clarifying thing more than an overall voting option.

I believe it is fixed lol

@Kee;, Updated the front page of the discussion thread.

[~ V ~]

This is sort of a subject change, but what is going to happen with the CS Items Guide?

I brought this up earlier in another post, but now it seems much of a bigger deal. Would the whole thread have to be remade?

@Thovatos
That list looks very good to me c:

[MOVED !!!]

Let's see what the future will bring us m'dudes, I'm really excited, a whole new world of opportunities and trading is pursuit!- in the meanwhile, I made the above for whoever voted retired. (or if you voted maintain/restructure and just want to see something dumb lmaoo.)
