From the Grapevine:

  • A secret message has leaked! One player reportedly sent this message to another:
    Don't worry, doggie, we don't mind when you don't have time to talk. I imagine that anyone doing all those things that you doggies do on the okavango must be very busy and have lots of people to talk to. We are glad that the ponies are happy, and that is the most important thing. Call me if you ever need any help, because we ponies are starting to get bored looking for new pastures. None of the new pastures have any barns or gates, it seems. If anyone's nasty at you, we'll see if we can help. Lovies!
