If you want to begin the game as a sheep then repeatedly press B then F to quickly build farms.
If you want to being the game as a shephard then when you are summoned, tell all to split up to different parts of the map, join who ever finds someone first and all gang up on it so then you can get it.
Please add more to the post if this isnt what you meant
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
