Desert Tortoise !

FarmVilleDate 330 (Sunday, May 16, 2010) no comments

Animal #141 has entered our farms on Zynga's FarmVille … who has them all?

The desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) is a species of tortoise native to the Mojave desert and Sonoran desert of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The species name agassizii is in honor of Swiss-American zoologist Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz.

The desert Tortoise can be yours for icon cash Desert Tortoise ! 12 Farm Cash and gains you icon xp Desert Tortoise ! 65 Experience Points. (you can sell it for icon coins Desert Tortoise ! 325 farm coins), it measures a teeny weeny 1x1.

We already had the (baby) turtle and now it has a family member on FarmVille :)

It will be available for only 13 more days until 30-05-2010.

The time to collect from it is 2 days after which you gain icon coins Desert Tortoise ! 80 Farm Coins.

The Revenue/Hr/Square report shows that it falls in the same class as some other new SouthWestern Desert Animals namely the Bobcat and the Road Runner. They all produce icon coins Desert Tortoise ! 27.85 per hour per square (although I don't know who would buy 16 of them).

Let’s build a community FarmVille Knowledge Base Together!

FarmVilleDate 329 (Saturday, May 15, 2010) one comment

I've starting working on the idea of creating a wiki like environment on farmvillechicken.com But I wanted something cooler.

So I'm planning to give EACH FarmVille object a weblog. An example can be seen on http://goat.farmvillechicken.com (just go there to check it out).

Editors can just double-click a blogposting and start editing the content: change the texts and also add images, etc… (of course you also use the backend for this or even Windows Live Writer).

In the end there will be much more information in there then on a "wiki". Since in this weblog-wiki system you can also add personal blogpostings AND people can still comment on all those blogpostings (just scroll down on goat.farmvillechicken.com to see other blogpostings)

So Editors can also ADD blog postings. Which means… if you have some super cool image of "a goat" on your farm and have that to share… simply add a blogpost to the goat.farmvillechicken.com blog! (or to whatever animal, tree, building, etc..) or… if you have some nice tips about it … you also add it. Or a video. Or … well… whatever comes to mind.

So… of course I don't want anyone to edit all blogs since that would enable spammers to really destroy all the content (once in a while they appear). So I've created a group "Editors".

This is a restricted group. If you have interest to be part of this NEW FarmVille knowledge building community / weblog network then just request membership of this group. I will post new updates on there.

As soon as you are a member of this group, the weblogs in this network that you visit and may edit will appear in your top menu, for instance for the goat:

FAQ:

1. For now I have only setup goat and saanens-goat for beta testing purposes to see how it works and gather feedback on stuff that SHOULD be on these blogs or uhm… should not be on these weblogs.

2. For now all users can edit the posts, pages, comments but not yet the sidebar. I'm planning to have 1 user per object "administrator / owner" who then may edit the sidebar content (which is more about the structure and e.g. "all goats list") but I'm still thinking about this.

3. For general topics such as "Mastership", "Co-op" some more specific weblogs will follow.

4. The very latest content is not yet automatically present in a blog format. I'm writing code to make that happen but that will be in a later phase.

5. If your top-menu contains way to much animals/buildings/etc… blogs then simply click the top "My Blogs" to go to an overview screen.

6. This knowledge base will contain some duplicate information that is now in the "almanac", which does not matter. There will simply be 2 Almanacs. One maintained by me only and one by the community. Nice to crosscheck.

So if you are interested to join in this pre-stage beta phase then request membership of the Editors group.
