Wooo! We made it to discussion #3!!!
First of all I'd like to say Thank you! To everyone who has been participating! For this week only, I am thinking of taking points off the warnings for the people who have taken the time to do things they were marked off for in the first place. So if you haven't done so yet, do so! You have till tomorrow.
2nd, Great job on play groups and Contests guys!!! Everything is going very nice! Keep it up!
For this next week, Sendy is holding the next play group, and I am holding the next contest. (Unless my computer keeps acting up, then I will let somebody else do it.) This next week is the last week we will be going out of order. After that, we will be sticking to the member list so keep an eye out for your turn!
My computer has been acting up, not sure if it's just me or if it's happening to everyone, but on every forum I go to, it will be fine for a min., but then will switch to a page not found type page but not exactly like that. Not sure what's going on, please let me know if it's doing it to anybody else because it's driving me nuts.
Our discussions for this week:
1. What do you guys think? How are you liking the group so far? What do you think we could do to improve?
2. New Idea... in the works. I'm thinking of having a new Breeding section to the group. Here's a bit of info on it:
- You have to send in a breeding application and be approved as a breeder.
-You are allowed only 10 breeding dogs. (This is all together, meaning if you keep puppies / kittens, they count in those 10. So I'd recommend maybe 1 or 2 male dogs, and 3-4 females, then the rest could be filled up by pups or something.
-You can breed as many breeds as you want, but can not go over the 10 dog limit. So it's not 10 dogs for each breed, it's 10 dogs all together.
- The 10 dogs will not be counted along with your group petz that participate in the group
- You are only allowed 2 litters per month which would = a year game time. You can NOT breed your 2nd litter until the pups from the first litter are in their new homes.
- Puppy Raisers!!!! Everyone will be able to be a puppy raiser, but you are only allowed 2 puppies to raise. You will raise them for their 1st year of life, then try to adopt them out. The Breeder will be the one to approve their new homes though.
***NOTE: I'm saying puppies, but it applies to catz / kittens too
- If you are raising puppies, it will not be counted as your 5 dogs or 5 catz that participate in the group. Sooo in total you are allowed (in the group to participate): 5 dogs, 5 catz, 3 foster petz, & 2 puppy / kittens to raise. = 15 petz
- The puppies / kittens you raise, can participate in duke's group activities.
*** I might be missing some stuff, but just throwing the idea out there. I'll add more as I think of more. I'd love to hear your guy's thoughts on this!!! Do you think it's a good idea? What could be changed...etc...?
Next up, I'd like to see a lot more participating in the regular showz!!! Including myself, I haven't been able to enter due to being to busy trying to get everything else in order.
I also think it would be a great idea to band together as a group and enter shows on other forums such as Obedience, Agility, Tracking....etc... what ever else is available. Giving everybody enough entries to judge, plus getting our petz and other peoples petz more chances to place and earn points in those areas. The more people who enter and show an interest in those shows, hopefully the more that will pop up! I also think it's a good idea for us to hold shows like these on other forums as well. Be sure to post links in the links board!
So in all, what are your guy's thoughts? Also, Warnings and Karma points will again be passed out tomorrow, so be good .
