Staff Litter Discussion Thread 2017

[arabella !!]

Found three pups with edited tails, but I'm pretty sure the first one is Lacuna's (we haven't gotten any conformations yet so we can't be completely sure, though.)

I'm confident too but staff are tricksters so you never know..

[Swishy & Broken]

So I have fourteen baby dogs left, which makes me fairly certain I won't be getting all of the outcomes this year on my own. Last year I was super lucky-- oh well alittle trading won't kill me. And I'm totally stoked to see who made what! I always love the staff litters <3

[Lilian Nightshade]

Since everyone is talking about tails, I might as well tell you my dog doesn't have a curled tail.

So many hints, thanks staff

[Izuku]

Don't check my pets for hints. You won't find any, buzz off.

oh really

buzz off

I think you mentioned oreo balls at some point, so let's take a cookie and find some crubs

"1. ""Mine has edited ears and just wants a hug.""
2. ""Mmmm indeed, bear with me while I think of one that won't give me away. I'll return
soon"" (Potential trolling with puns?)
3. ""I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no hint for you here. "" (Was in their signature
but no longer is; may also be trolling)
4. ""Don't check my pets for hints. You won't find any, buzz off.""
5. Gif from selective attention study
6. ""Is your staff pet based on an anything? If so, what?"" ""mine is a memoriam for my heart rat.""
7. Link on Staff page leads to a video called ""Do the Honey Bee!""
8. ""Her heart rat, which is a rat that you feel very close to, and that you can have
deep conversations with, either looks like a badger or was named Badger"" (♥Laughing
Jack♥) ""Bingo"" (Metallic Dragon)
9. ""Mine has an edited tail."""

Reason: I can't beelieve you'd steal my honey comb

Pet's name: Shhh

and this one which was pointed out earlier

Pet's name: Not a hint


aaand then there's this pupper in your "Babs" group

which matches up with all your hints so far, a bit too well to be honest, so either this is just to throw us off or be a Pluma-like troll to see when people realize it really was your pup all along hahah

since Metallic hasn't made that many pets, it's a bit hard to find style similarities, but the bee pup has something common with their last year's pup, which is a trait that no-other pup has

notice that light streak next to lines on top of the head but not that strongly on the back? yeah, that's the one. also use of the airbrush is similar.

and then in this year's pets -

a huge difference in style, but the brush marks are similar to the ones on this year's pup's stripes.

hmmmmm

who knows, I just wanted to put this all together for y'all haha

What are the chances of the litter being uncommon or rare? I imagine it's low, but figured I'd get some opinions..

[Aliria]

They'll almost certainly all be common, like all past staff litters. (Some have gone up in rarity since they were released, but they all start common)

[EnochianGhost]

What are the chances of the litter being uncommon or rare? I imagine it's low, but figured I'd get some opinions..

Very low. Everyone adopts as many as they can of the staff dogs, they're very popular.

Also I'm not sure from your question if you know this or not so just in case: all the outcomes are the same rarity. It'd be unfair to the staff to make some of them rare and some of them not. No playing favorites~

[Atwood]

What are the chances of the litter being uncommon or rare? I imagine it's low, but figured I'd get some opinions..

Zero, I'd say. They're all the same rarity and the litter has 13 more pups than outcomes, so about 1.5 of each outcome per active account. That's a lot of staff puppers roaming around. X3

@Atwood - in the very first pages you gave us some cryptic hints referring to the pet groups with seemingly random letters in names

I can string these out now, and see what letters come up, Atwood's is the one that I know will be big.
-suuutttssssrrrrrqqooonnnnnkkkjjjgggfff
-qmmmmlllllhiiiiihhhhceeeeddddddccaa
This! This is what I have found, I may have missed a few though

Reason: XD Well, I can't say this post is entirely wrong...

Reason: W&D 39 might help you crack this particular code...

mind giving us a hint to solve the hint? :'D this isn't just some normal cryptogram

The letters aren't related to my staff dog - it's just for my alphabetical litter naming system. ;3 Still, as I said, though the subject was wildly off track, the post still wasn't 100% wrong...

@atwood Does your pup's name have any significance regarding its design? And are the eyes a colour used from the palette, or your own colour? -snip-

The name has no significance beyond its significance to me personally. I did consider naming him Peikko just to mess with you all though. :b Taavi's eyes as an adult are not from the palette.

[Saturn ♥]

Personally, I think this pupper looks kinda like something from Egyptian times. Both with the colors used and the design around the eye.
