I hope these are porcelain/some type of China because into my plate group they go~

Ahhh I love your plate group. Nicely done.

In relation to the summer event: I am bummed it didn't start this weekend too. It may bump into another game's event so I'll have to juggle both. It is what it is. I'm honestly just grateful that we still have this site and that they keep up the traditions for us. I have a feeling this summer event will be well worth the wait when it comes around.

That's so true and I feel the same way. It's a rarity for a forum based site to still exist. It's my happy place on the internet so I am glad it is still kicking c: It's gonna be an awesome summer event, I feel it!

Agree with you both! I am so happy CS has survived this long. I hope that we still have it for many years to come! Any event, even late, I very much appreciate :3

Please remember that the summer events don't have a definite starting date like Easter or our Advent calendar. Therefore it is not possible for it to be late, just lateR than the average. But so far it's always been around the end of July.
It takes as long as it does, because our team needs the time for drawing all pets/items, backgrounds, write the story and all dialogue, program it, dress up NPCs... and this year it just so happens to not start yesterday/today. ^^

Why doesn’t it have a set time frame though? Wouldn’t that make it easier for …. Everyone? The artist know it’s coming , the coders know it’s coming, it’s been proven in a work place That people who have an end date/goal , typically do better , and provide better. Procrastination is strong in the human species.

The people would be happier, because the guess work is nothing but frustrating . This this year for example I was very excited knowing that I had most of this week off and this was typically when the event started - now knowing it likely starts next week , I work 5 of the first 7 days. That wouldn’t have been avoided if there were a set date, but since it is so up in the air it is very frustrating. It would have been much less frustrating , and disappointing if I had known.

Again, this event has been running 5 + years we see the same problems pop up every year. People miss the event starting , people are frustrated , it’s not a ‘fun’ surprise at this point. .. there should be a set time frame for everyone’s benefit.

Yes! This! Also I want to point out this isn't a job for most people working on it! They do this as a hobby and have irl lives. Events like this take extreme coordination between a number of people and it takes time. I'm greatful that CS is still around and that people are still passionate enough to provide us with an event that is free and fun! I'm excited to find out this year's theme and participate ^^

Heck yeah! This site isn't perfect because what is, but I am grateful to have it. Been playing since the end of the summer event on 2013 so this year will be my 10 year anniversary! It doesn't feel like it's been that long, and yet I feel like I've been here forever, lmao.

i'm so in love with these litters aaaaaaa

[Sixx O'Clock]

Despite everything going on lately, I still love CS and I'm still very excited to see what this year's Summer Event has in store! Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be great as always. ^^

Oh my thank you! I also included 金繕い 'kintsukuroi' in there since they seem to also fit, huehuehue. Glad I can toss more in there.
