My mistake, sorry. I'd prefer if people didn't spoil the page for other readers. Okay, I won't spread it around. While you're here, did you get my email and PM about the acceptability/logistics of translations? Just in case, I'll resend it  |

let's everyone delete their edited posts - there's no reason to keep them around and they kind of clog up the about 10 posts that weren't redacted on the first page.

Personally I disagree - I like them hahahahahahah they add flavor. Plus it's worth letting everyone know that that happened. Plus it's so 'government conspiracy'-esque heh. If everyone gets rid of theirs though, I'll follow suit. |

OK, back to the rightful page 1429... Did anyone else start to hum "Let It Go"? I did and I am not ashamed of it! |

Wow, I came here thrilled to bits about today's actual page, but now I just feel like the madman ranting in the corner.  Might be a little bit in love with Jenny by now, though. You have to admire those moments of pure awesome that catch you totally off guard.  And I really can't believe that I didn't see it coming. We've been ranting about their visual similarity for weeks... |

It seems that i have missed some shenanigans. Oh well, this page is awesome as it is. Jenny, sweetheart, I love the stuff that you're strutting! Keep it up, honey!
Also, good sport to actually go along with imitating Zimmy.

The first page reads like a case file from the SCP.
No point discussing it until coming monday, but nevertheless i can hardly wait since i too missed out on the little time-slip.
As for Jenny, I gotta say it's amazing what Tom can do making you like a character. I wonder if it is sheer coincidence she looks so similar Zimmy.

Now comes the question: what do we do if we happened to save the picture while it was up? (smirk) Post it to an Imgur mirror, under a spoiler, and make sure everyone understands the full consequences of having seen it. Oh dear, we've opened a can of worms on this one… XD Cautionary tale: this is not the first time. That, and Tom already expressly spoken on the subject. |

Is it possible to still change the thread title, fwip? Because now there is a page with written text in it, and a thread with title that is not directly taken from that text. And that breaches with the tradition (rather than any written rule) and it being already second such title in a short period time gives me a disturbing feeling that the tradition is about to die out. |

"RRR!" Jenny has Zimmy nailed in panel three.
The chance of Jenny working with the Seraphs is approaching infinitely improbable, but the conspiracy theorist in me wants to say she is covering her tracks.

Also, usually it's only a coincidence irl. Not so much in fiction. But then, key word: so much. Edit: Huh. The activation magic circle has sigils that almost look like the Arabic script. /r/Mildlyinteresting |

This will probably go unnoticed since everyone seems too busy discussing the update glitch that I didn't even know about until coming to the forum (and don't want to learn anything more about), but:
I'd speculated on Wednesday that Tom was leading us to a big surprise when he switched perspectives from the students (whether Annie, Jack, and Jenny or Kat and Paz) to the Seraphs - some big deception. We got it (one that took me by surprise - but which made sense in light of all those past comments about Jenny's resemblance to Zimmy), but I wonder whether there's more involved than this page's moment.
If Jenny's already in the tower, then Tom's apparently skipped the actual journey by the students to the tower and inside, where things ought to get their most hazardous. I hope we're not going to get a "too-easy" victory - especially since it could undermine the horrors of Zimmy's world (so far, all that we've really seen of that are what it did to the ship, the crew-bots, and the Seraphs; none of the indigenous beings of that world have shown up - which could play into the arguments of the apologists for the ship and the Seraphs). Though we can always hope that Tom's planning a "dramatic reverse" in the next few pages.

Also, good sport to actually go along with imitating Zimmy. Why won't she? Especially given that "the little differences" is exactly what she gets to show off in such a flashy way? Also... Headcount! There were three Seraphs! Three! Where's the third one! |

Looks like a magical IED... Are we going to have a few pages of urban warfare, Gunnerkrigg Court style?

I don't know why I like the last couple of pages as much as I do. It must be something about having a plan that was overly complicated whilst allow someone to star. Maybe it is just Jenny pretending to be Zimmy in the third frame today (although I still imagine her smiling whilst trying to do it).
At the very least, this made me smile.

Zimmy does seem awfully Keter(I was hoping for a more Non-Euclidean chapter). Then, I started thinking of it as a Zimmingham Fluctuation, leaking its way onto the forum. It would be great, if when they popped another siphon, the website stated acting strange. |

Who you gonna call? ZimmyJenny! The seraphs had better be still alive and fine after this. Of course they are. They'll be placed on the SubEtheric Containment Unit. (Come on, don't let me down, you know today scene from years ago). |

What is it with everybody confusing Jenny for Zimmy? ... Oh noes! The Forum hivemind has taken over the comic! Certainly a time-reversed backlash from the glitch, with all its fallout in the forum. Everything's possible in Zimmingham.

I'm glad I missed the accidental mispost, and I appreciate everyone for redacting their comments. Thanks for not spoiling it for me by the time I got to read the forum today! As for today's page, Jenny did a great job here, both on her appearance and on her trap! That disguise has got to be a bit awkward, though she doesn't seem to mind how obsessed Jack is with Zimmy. Good point from Tom about her lipstick running out, too. I wouldn't have thought about that (one reason why I'm not an author) but it's a very salient observation. |

Y'know, now that I think about it, the first hint really should have been the lack of gigantic tufts of hair bursting through the windows. Also, I get the feeling that the Seraphs are supposed to be being set up as stronger than the normal steward bots, and as much as I like Jenny, it might be a bit of a buzzkill for them to be finished that easily. One or the other are gonna get hit by The Worf Effect within the next page. |

That's a pretty good use of her similarity to Zimmy! Still worried about how willing the Seraphs might be to hurt students, but whatever the plan is, it seems to be going well.
