MA is short for Mid-Advent, which is a kind of valuable “list” pet that is worth 6-8 2009 rares. For more information on abbreviations and measurements for high value pets, I’d check here: Forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4470908#p132828510

What do people mean when they say “non”? Like I would see in posts or trade rules saying things like “.25 nons” or something like that

I also see .25 C$ which I don’t understand either

I’m a returning user so I need a bit of a refresher on what stuff like this means haha

Hello! I'm going to share an answer I've previously provided for your first question ^^

A majority of the trading terms commonly used on the site now are from the discontinued rarity list.
A "non" serves as a baseline value in trading (along with the terms sorb/sorbet & MA/mid-advent)
✧ The term non comes from four particular dogs from July 2008 - the non-swirl, the non-jewel, the non-coon, and the non-tag
✧ The term sorbet/sorb comes from this litter from July 2008 [the four outcomes are pink, yellow, green, and blue]
✧ The term mid-advent comes directly from the discontinued rarity list. While the list is no longer considered a primary pet value resource (as it is outdated and there were contentions about the accuracy of pet placement in the list), the term is still utilized for the category of pets once included in/around the tier 7 category* of the list in terms of general value
[It is worth clarifying here that MA value pets are not limited to just the pets in this tier category - this is just to highlight where the name originates from / *If you have seen people refer to a pet as a t# advent, the acronym comes from this tier system]

A general guide commonly seen in pet worth threads now breaks the terms down as:
1 non = 2 sorbs = 10-12 mid-advents (MAs) = 100-150 '09 rares
1 sorb = 0.5 nons = 5-6 MAs
1 MA = 7-8 '09 rares

There are also breakdowns of these terms in Horror's Condensed CS Rarity List, which cites slightly adjusted numbers from the ones I shared above - it is worth noting that these values are fluid and may shift over time! c:

Fractions of values, both in C$ values and in pet values, simply refer to a portion of a baseline value! While it is not possible to trade less than a whole value of C$, many users use decimals to highlight that they consider a pet or item to be worth less than 1 full C$ value. If a person is offering pets at 0.25 C$, you could purchase four pets from them for 1 C$!

What does "mi" mean? I saw it while looking at adoptables and was wondering what it meant.
