'It's in the research section called 'cooperative'
First of all, what you are doing is correct. Send them a message. On no reply within 24 hours (or 48 hours, whichever sounds more reasonable for you and your co-op), reject the application. I immediately reject applications below level 30, as my co-op has very high level members, unless they have typed a good application. If they leave the standard message, they did not understand and they did not read my co-op description.
Besides that you can make an introduction thread on the forum and check the applications in the cooperative search forum. Do look for WWW members only as you are on that server.
Also take into account you are on an international server and not everybody will be able to speak English. If they speak your native language, you could try, but also that depends on your co-op. I do not accept people that speak my native language unless they also speak English of course. That is because the co-op chat is active and I want them to be able to communicate with the other members as well.
Lastly, do not hurry. It will take a long time for you to find the correct person for your co-op. Keep working, keep sending messages, keep trying. It took me a long long time to establish my co-op in the community and now people know the co-op a bit and actively choose for it sometimes. That is what you do with your forum introduction thread, make it fun and make it stand out. Then establish the name and people may come for you instead of you for them ^^ To establish the name you can put a link to the co-op introduction thread in your signature. Write a nice text to it, make a slogan or something like it, let people know you are looking. You can always post in search threads from WWW people to 1) maybe they will apply and be active and 2) you are establishing your name further. If others see your signature they may want to read more and apply with a good application!
Good luck!
Research costs are paid by the coop to do the research.
To be a bit more specific than Hodor:
Registration costs are the costs every individual member pays to sign up as a researcher. That can be the researcher sign up with dollars but also the hired researcher for gold.
Research costs are the costs you see in the details as an orange flask with a pack of dollars. These costs are paid from the co-op accounts, the amount you can see on the handshake tab. They are a sort of starting fee for the research (you could think of material costs to make it easier for yourself. Think about what is needed to do a real research)
When the research slots have been filled up and there is enough money in the co-op accounts for the research costs, the research can be started by the leader or deputies.
It took some time to even be in able to get a start on the list of translated words. A holiday, a hospital visit and new features, all part of the delay. But now I at least have a start of the most questions asked. I think that with the words I put in that list people at least have a keyword they can use when searching the forum.
Now the question is.. How do I get that list to you ?
It is an public sheet, everyone can add if wanted.

Edit: hmm, hotmail acts differently. Maybe this will work as I think many have a hotmail account
Edit 2: I can open it in excel and edit it, but how should I upload it again? I do not use Skydrive
Edit 3: Cannot open in in excel and therefore not edit it XD Waiting for alternative?
?
I read a lot of your good answers, so in advance thank you for answering my question!
The only consequence is that you will lose the collectibles you invested in it. For a low level co-op with high level members that is not much of a problem because you can easily add them again. But the higher your co-op gets, the more collection items you will need and the longer you need to save for them. Especially if you have paid for some with gold, it would really be a pity to just lose them and get nothing in return. Good luck and you're welcome!
Hi Aly, welcome to Big Farm and good luck in the game!
And are you punished if you take them back?
No and no. At least, not by the game. The leader may get angry :P
But of course you do not get punished, because you need to be able to take them back to donate them to another project. Imagine the milk project and the eggs project both need puzzle pieces (just an example). Milk needs 200 and eggs needs 250. You have 230. So you put them in the milk project. But now the co-op would rather do the eggs and you have saved up 50 pieces in the meantime. So then you take back your 200 from the milk and put the total 250 in the eggs project
There are no individual rewards in a co-op. There have been several threads around asking for it so the members would be triggered to help out more. I think the reward should be a feeling of pride and accomplishment from having been able to make it through the project together. I see a co-op as a fun group where you can socialize and create some more challenge in your game play - to keep it from getting boring. But to be honest, the co-op task is given way too early and makes it a necessity for young players to get their 100 gold (while it shouldn't be like that). I think the co-op task should be given at a later level, when the game tends to get boring, when players know they really like the game and will continue playing, as a challenging new adventure

In answer to you question
To my knowledge you don't have to open it in excell, after editing, you can save it by going to : bestand (or file) and then : opslaan als (or save as).
Let me know if you can't work it this way. Then we need to find an alternative.
Keep me posted
Well, Yedice, I cannot even edit this file :S I have been clicking around, using the menu, clicking in the file, trying to type, right clicks, nothing works. So I guess we are going to have to find an alternative, unless you can tell me in an easy way how I should edit it :P
Thank's
In addition to my private message: harvests count only. You do not need to donate. Also click the green circle arrow to refresh the numbers. Every harvest should be counted automatically. If not, then clear caches and check again.
As an appointed deputy, what are my responsibilities to my fellow co-op members? Are there any tasks, that I am now able to perform as a deputy, that will help the co-op in its collective endeavors? What makes a 'good' deputy? Any advice or help that you are able to offer is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Therasa-Ann
Morning Ann,
Tasks of a member: participate in projects by making products, donating collectible items to the projects, signing up as a researcher and donating to the co-op accounts.
Tasks of a deputy: All of the above, plus: starting the projects and researches, editing the news section, accepting members into the cooperative.
Tasks of a leader: All of the above, plus: Removing members from the cooperative, changing the name for 2000 gold and editing the description of the cooperative.
I hope that made the tasks a bit clearer.
Now what makes a good deputy? A deputy is a supportive person for the leader. You discuss ideas and decisions together with leader and other deputies, you decide on which project to start and which research to do. You help other members find their way in the co-op and you run the co-op when the leader is offline. The best you can do is discuss with the leader which initiatives you are allowed to take, for example in adding new members or in starting projects or researches. I personally want my deputies to agree with at least 1 other deputy before they start a project or research. In that way at least 2 persons are responsible for leading the projects and researches in the right way for the members and newbies in the co-op
Good luck!
Deputy duties are now quite clear, thank you!
Allow me to compliment you on LARINO'S CORNER! Since I am a newbie, I try to learn as much as possible by checking out the forum every day. For myself, your website is the most helpful 'tool' in this forum. LARINO'S CORNER is easy to navigate, full of useful information not found elsewhere, and written with a lot of detail, yet easy to interpret.
Thank you, Larino. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your creativity, and thank you for the effort that you put into helping all of us to become better farmers.
Een heel fijne dag,
Therasa-Ann
Dankjewel! Thanks ^^ I also put the message through to my deputy, friend and co-author of the website ^^ Thanks a lot for your kind words, much appreciated!
Happy farming~
