Club Pony Pals News

Dear Pony Pals:

Wiggins needs our members' help! Everyone can pitch in by taking on quests that aid the daily chores around town. Pony Pals can go to Crandal's barn aisle and click on the bulletin board quest card. Maybe the horse shoer needs help. Or maybe Anna's mom needs some materials for the Off Main Diner. There are over a dozen such quests, just to start. Every day more are being added.  

Our very first multiplayer area is now open. It is a great place to meet other members. There are two ways to go there. One is to simply click on your avatar of a person that is on your home page. You will go directly to the multiplayer space. The other way is to click on "play now" and when you land outside Crandal's barn, click on the white fence between Crandal's barn and Dr. Crandal's clinic.

The first time you go there, you can choose how you will look. Once you like how you look, you will enter the multiplayer area.

Once there, just click on any avatar. Their public profile page will pop up. Then it's easy to send them a card and if they accept, they are a new pal.     If you want to change how you look, click on the green "edit" button in the multiplayer space's lower right corner. There are other great ways to meet other pals. Click here to learn more.

In downtown Wiggins at Kline's tack and feed, there are two new Western saddles in their catalogue.  

One Pony Pal reports that she won enough from doing quests to buy herself one of these new western saddles. So quests are not only fun, they can be rewarding!  

Scavenger hunts are next. They are being programmed and coded right now.

As always, our testers will be the first to hear when they are ready to launch.

The October Story Contest is open for voting. Deadline for coloring contest #6 is Friday, download the art to color for that contest here.

Also, voting for our October Poem Contest #4 has ended. Winners are

winner Born Free as the Wind by famoushorse101 and Seabiscut
runnerup A Day at the Show (In the Pony's view) by obsessedgal & chocolate

Members ask me all the time "how do I earn more bucks?" Anybody who wants more Wiggins bucks is missing out if they don't enter one of our contests! Details are below. We always need good cartoons, they should be in black and white.

Our Club changes all the time. If you log in to our game and weird things seem to happen, PC users should clear their computer's cache.  See the instructions here to learn how.

Testers, keep an eye out for your special emails that ask you to try a feature first.

Pals,

Jane Crandal

Pony Pal Thoughts for the Day

Heart is in every pony, and watch how you use it, heart is what makes a pony die trying.  
PicassoGirl

____________

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Thomas à Kempis, Imitation of Christ, c.1420

____________

What saves a person is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939
