2018 Summer Event: Casual Chat v2

[Tiny IDK]

I hope more macaw variants will be released in the future.

@tiny idk

And a very warm welcome to our new feathery friends!
These linearts were drawn as a collaboration by several artists. We began working on them years ago, but they were unreleased until now! After so many years in storage it took a few blasts with an industrial-strength dust buster to get them looking presentable for the jungle event. Special thanks to SaltyToothpaste, Lawliet, and sketchi for bringing them to life.
These pretty Pollys have come home to roost in the hatchery, so we can expect more macaw eggs in future!

[Go!Go!Zeppeli!]

Well, this event was fun, even with the resort token shortage.

I hope future batches of them turn out as cute as they have been in this event.

Bit late but

"Get in quick, token trade-ins for our Summer Event are nearly over!"
our Summer Event are nearly over
Summer Event ARE nearly

this annoys me now

@kissedbyabird it makes perfect sense to me..? it says that the token trade-ins are nearly over, not the summer event.


i'm not too sure though, english is not my best subject oops

This is correct English. The subject-verb agreement is correct because the subject is "trade-ins"

You want your predicate to agree with the subject, not the object of a prepositional phrase! "Event" is part of the prepositional phrase "for our Summer Event"; take it out and you're left with "token trade-ins are nearly over"

(Actually there's a comma splice in there but I've given up on those)
