Community Breeding Program

Hello all early zoologists!

Firstly, thank you for joining this adventure and hopefully we can get more interest as it grows into a running group.

So I have laid down the majority of the foundations for the group, although now I am rethinking the Grouping idea based on a couple of factors in the FBMs Sign Up thread which concluded what I already thought from the start about players wanting to do their own thing whilst honing in particular animals rather than focusing on a group of (type of) animal(s) from the get go (understandable really).

A few things to point out:

1) This group will never “dictate” what you do when, how, where etc.. We all play a common game (Planet Zoo) and share the same common goal.

2) "The FDM Leader", it may not be a thing if I scrap groupings, but if kept, is only there as a "mouthpiece" for that group. Basically, instead of me having to go through doing 54 animals per time, the leaders go through their group for the numbers so we could track how many are on the market.

3) Which leads to, if anyone would say "you have to do..." etc then this should be reported to me, as that's not what the group is about. It's about doing your own thing, yet once and awhile dipping into your setup zoos breeding what you can and putting it up for sale (for a fair price) on the Franchise Market.

Now the future,
I left this week, and I will keep an eye on it but my plan is to have challenges within the group weekly and this will be about breeding (obviously) but will focus on in one animal. (And this is why Tiers were formed)
However, that (type of) animal will always be the same for the bi-weekly (fortnightly) event/challenge which happens officially.
Maybe even we "get ready" for that official challenge on say a Thursday/Friday (of the preceding week) to Sunday before the start of the official challenge? However, then again that is making this group a timed thing for us. So not sure if that is something current members would like to have?

I still need to re-write the summary in the forum as it has changed since my initial outline and I might revert back to just Tiers (Tier System Overview) rather than having Groupings. As with just Tiers we could just focus on Tier 1 types, once setup, we can then setup Tier 2 types etc... and then just pop in/out of each of those zoos to breed more as and when the time arises... (which is slightly more casual than the grouping idea)

After all the foundation work is done, I'll then probably ask for some help with just the running of the group and/or members to invite their friends/anyone in the forums interested in breeding/the game.

Anyway, thoughts as always down below would be much appreciated.
