Happy National Spinach Day?

Meanwhile, at Zynga HQ...

Zynga exec #1: "Gee, our FV2 players are all still really super pissed off at us over Thursday's glitch.  Riots are breaking out on our web forums and many of them are threatening to quit the game!  What should we do?"
 
Zynga exec #2: "I've got an idea!  Let's divert their attention from the issue with a post about National Spinach Day!  Everyone loves spinach, right?"
 
Zynga exec #1: "Brilliant plan!  I'll get our art, web and programming teams on that right away.  They're probably not busy with anything else at the moment."

Quests are still missing, hard-earned puppy pageant dogs are still MIA, people are still missing quest buildings and quest-related rewards they won such as animals, fences and decorations, and paying customers are still missing things for which they actually spent real money.  But instead of addressing what they are doing to rectify these issues, Zynga wants us to just forget about all that and plant some nice spinach, OK?  So, just relax, guys.  It's spinach day, and there is spinach for you to plant.  What more could you possibly want?

Also, here loyal players, have a tiny handful of trinkets of dubious value to make up for everything you lost in the latest glitch:

Yeah, sure, you restored my Prank Pedestal, but with negative party invites.  Thanks Zynga, that is very helpful.  Keep up the great work!

Well, gotta look on the bright side, I guess.  At least we have some entertaining new comments to read!

My new dog wasn't getting along with my pigs on the farm.  So I hired this so-called expert Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan‬ to come over and help me out with the problem.

Let's just say it didn't go very well...

Stone Cold 'Chilla

Gah!  Chinchilla races are here!  Dang nabbit.  Zynga didn't listen to me.  They NEVER listen!  Why, Zynga, why?  I tried to stop them, friends, I truly did!  But alas, I failed.  I am so sorry.

I guess I should start at the beginning...

Back in January a friend of mine posted that he anticipated Chinchilla races would be coming to FV2 soon.  We got to talking about how sick and tired we all were of all these silly animal races.  Always the same old thing with Zynga; couldn't they come up with something new for a change?

Well, being the thoughtful gentleman I am, I decided to try and help Zynga out, so I came up with a few alternatives to chinchilla racing for them.  I even created graphic mock-ups for each of my ideas to help Zynga visualize my brilliant concepts.

I mailed several letters to Zynga outlining my ideas for them, and urging them to pick one to use instead of stupid chinchilla racing.

Oh well, I tried my best, but those folks over at Zynga are clearly quite stubborn and set in their ways.  Sorry, again.  Enjoy the chinchilla races, friends!

Tell about how I get to tend the chinchillas and have chinchilla races!"
