Sheep! + Bonus ACK MY FARM IS TEH BROKEN ISSUES


Sheep Breeding:

There has been a few questions on "what is an illegal sheep"  Well its easier to list the types of Legal sheep

HoodNo PatternDotsStripe

That's it.  Those are the 4 that Zynga in Someway officially released, Either via the Questing, or Market.

The Flashing, blinking, exploding, star, splotch, mask, eyepatch, devil, horny, and whatever other clever names that have been created are all in the "illegal" side of "Zynga Law".


If You are getting the 100 Sheep notice, but don't have 100 sheep, the following are methods that work for some folks

1) Empty your pen, only put in what you want to breed.
2) Delete and Rebuild Pen
3) Remember Lambs and Full Grown Sheep count towards the limit
4) Dancing around yelling at the screen, This likely Doesn't Work
5) If you do Dance around yelling at the screen Please Film it.

 

Broken Farm:

A number of farms are not fully loading.  This is boils down to 2 basic things.

When the game calls to get the farm data 1 of 2 things happen
 

A: It doesn't get a proper response because the server the farm data is on, is not exactly working.  This likely is tied to the AWS (Amazon Web Services) Issue.  My farm was doing this, but in recent moments when checking it loaded fine.

B: It appears one of the Legal Sheep, the Blue and Red Polka Dotted is suspected, in someway got corrupted and is causing the farm data to error on return.

 

What can you do if your Farm is Broken.

Well the sad thing is, not a whole hell of a lot.  You can go to the Customer Service link for Zynga, and yell at them to fix it, but it likely will not make things any better.  Waiting is pretty much the only cure for this at the moment.  As I said My Farm was down for quite a while, but has since started loading again.

We will post more as we know it.

If your farm will not load, in a comment write what you were doing before it quit loading.
