How does one join? Send note cards to all the owners you mention and wait to see if anyone responds? What if nobody does, is there an alternate contact which actually will?
Hi Tad, I can send you the invite. The Co.Op is made of both KittyCatS! Markets and their Managers, someone always will be around to help. :-)
The requirements are to own a KittyCatS Market. Small or large alike.
I just had a really nice conversation with Tad Carlucci and I would like to expand a little about what the KittyCatS! Co.Op is about:
The KittyCatS! Co.Op is the joint effort of many different Secondary Market owners coming together with the same goal: the continuous growth of the KittyCatS! community and also the markets.
This is not a group of people, say for example, a government body, who will be dictating X or Y in terms of how the community in general should play their game. We are all free to do that. This is a group of people with a common ground, in which no matter if the market is new, old, large or small, can sit together in a same level and discuss the ways in which they can help each other out as well helping the community in general. Not one sim owner or sim in particular is better than the other. They all are equals in this venture.
The beautiful thing about it is that we can now be able to come together and work together wihtout limitations or boundaries that have hinder us in the past. And as a community member, I am so thrilled that this is actually coming to a reality.
The Secondary markets are a vital center of life to the KittyCatS! Community. This is where we attend auctions, meet other fellow breeders, learn, make new friends, and even have fun. Each market has amazing things to offer the community in general and it is in our support of them, (as community members) that we can all continue forward and the Secondary Market continues to evolve and grow.
The KittyCatS! Community is a very large one, with many diverse ideas and when the Secondary Market owners come together in a venture like this, speaks greatly about their commitment to KittyCatS! but also to each one of us, who are part of the community.
Please do not misunderstand the purpose of this venture. It is not a popularity contest, far from it! This is simply a joint venture in which every market is at the same level, as I said before, no matter if new or old, large or small.
A lot of new markets have joined in since the announcement of the KittyCatS! Co.Op and hopefully we will continue to see it grow. I know they are still working and organizing things and I am sure, that we all, as community members, want this venture to succeed. Again, this is not owned by one person or one market. This is a collaboration of many Secondary Market owners who have also become owners of the KittyCatS! Co.Op.
This is for the benefit of us all.
