Alternatively, we can just add another decimal place perhaps.

That's what the last reset has done, showed another decimal and adjusted the SOP so we won't have 3 decimals. I was fine with that.

I think gaylanstudio has a really good point... Why do anything at all?
If this were a role-playing game and you finished all the quests with a particular character build, you would either carry on with that build, maybe getting less of a challenge out of it, or you start again with a different build and create a new challenge that way.
So like gaylanstudio said, the top breeders can pick up new breeds or carry on with their 100 SOP dogs as long as they like.

And just from a coding perspective, if I were Jeff I'd want to code something that just happened automatically when a breed reached 100... so then it wouldn't need any intervention from him and would only a affect those breeds. Affecting one breed at a time doesn't need to mean multiple recodes

Yes, Gaylanstudio! These are exactly my feelings.

Ultimately, it will be the more popular breeds that reach 100 sooner than others. It takes alot of players to move SOP quickly.

It's everyone's problem because it's just one more risk to losing players and the game overall.

Do you think Jeff is interested in putting any more development time into the game? Especially since there is already disagreement on an approach?!

In reality I don't think Jeff is up to developing the game. He basically just keeps it running, so I doubt there'll be a reset or anything similar.

I would be happy with simply improving the quality of the source dogs.. that way the breeds nearly gone have a legit chance at introducing new traits and colors without having to give up a years worth of showing.

There are breeds I would love to try and do more with, but they literally have no current SOP dogs.. and I just don’t want to climb the pure source breeding mountain.

I seem to remember at the last 'reset' that there was not to be another - when we reached a certain stage, another decimal point would be added. Maybe since it has been awhile, we could add 2 more spots. The good breeds would still have the advantage (I think that would be the case no matter what we did as the most experienced breeders/players are in those breeds) but it would level the play within the breed. I would be in favor of this but not a hard reset or any of the other suggestions.

I know this suggestion would upset some folks but...

What if when a breed hits 100... Jeff introduces a new breed to replace it.
