Thanks for your advice and patience. The thing is that I get a rapid heartbeat just from seeing other people's dogs, I delete most people with dogs unless they can unequip them for me when they don't play (ie before logging off).

And yeah, I take advantage of the happy hours for solved cases, just because I want to have the trophy for 20 golden medals. but although I'm not as concerned with privacy as many people, I still don't want to add thousands of people. Right now I have around 60 teammates, not all of which have 5 hints/still play. I like being able to send cards to everyone who's still playing. Also my strategy is always keeping my energy bar below 110, by playing at least every 6 hours (or 8 only when I'm asleep or travelling). that's roughly 430 energy per day for free, without having to add over 100 people for that.

An additional issue is that I'm scared of bees and wasps, and I normally leave the scenes that have them at 2-3 stars. I can't see myself getting a golden medal for those cases.

I'm satisfied with my CC experience, really. if I had unlimited energy (or practically unlimited like the folks with 3573454 energy post), it would take over my life, lol.

TBH I'm also curious about the real benefits of dogs for those that already have thousands of teammates and a lot of energy. Isn't it just a fun toy really? :P I mean for me the benefits of a pet would be energy and coins, but if you spend the energy on getting more golden medals and the coins on buying more dogs, I kinda don't see a point :D
