Something creepy I noticed is that not only did the Breach and the Lent Incident happen on the same month, they both happened on the same day, too (albeit a year apart)

Taken from the Wikipedia page for that date is a list of events that also occurred then; this is not a complete list, but merely those events that might pique the interest of the Vendors or be known to Americans. (The date may also be significant to the Sandsverse creators for a personal reason.)

i believe elmer deleted every lent incident post since seymour's inciting one

Indeed! Thanks for the update; the only posts still extant as of 9:12 AM UTC-8 are Seymour’s log and “I will get some creamed corn”.

Where was Horace in all this?

Napping.

It was not a boar’s burden.

[sandsverselentincident]

He changed the header back!!!

Recorded, but thank you for your diligence.

[sandsverselentincident]

Thanks for this, I genuinely appreciate it. It’s hard to keep up with everything, and even though i have a lot going on now, it’s an interesting and cool thing to witness. Don’t make this public if you don’t want to, but just.. thanks :)

And thank you for the kind words! I was seized by a Dwarf Fortress-esque fell mood this night, and I’m glad that my frenzied archival work has some benefit.

Reuben (58kill) made a post just after Elmer. Also, Elmer said "Yeah", which Reuben is known for saying.

Said post (created at 9:01 PM UTC-8) has no clear connection to the Lent Incident, so I link rather than reblog, but thank you for your contribution.
