I believe one of my colleagues only voted "yes" because he lost his glasses and didn't know what he was voting for.(emphasis mine). I don't remember her representing the "blind vote" thing as anything short of objective fact originally (Feb-2014), and sure enough, the page's image on the webserver has been modified 23-Mar-2015.
... and what used to be SEclusions (http://sssscomic.wikia.com/wiki/Seclusion) is now called an EXclusion on page 86 (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=86) ...
... the "bunch of monkeys" became a "pack of squirrels" on page 107 (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=107), along with several other text changes on the same page ...
I have the whole comic saved as a "just in case" archiveYeah, I'm pondering a similar thing ... :(
I should make some .rar files for download, an imgur album or something like that[prepares the leeching tools]
I know that Minna has retroactively modified pages so as to eliminate changes in her art style for, e.g., Tuuris and Lallis facesDoes anyone have before-after examples of this? I noticed some inconsistencies in older Tuuri art (mostly her body rather than her face) but Lalli seems pretty much the same, with a handful of exceptions - I actually admired how Minna seemed to have a very clear image of him right from the start.

There's some discussion of it here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=82.msg26897#msg26897).Awesome, thank you!
It's not like she's changing any key components anywaySure, but the wiki would be rather empty if we'd only state the guaranteed-immutable canon facts there ... :(
We have never been at war with packs of monkeys.
We have always been at war with packs of squirrels.
We have never been at war with packs of monkeys.
We have always been at war with packs of squirrels.
... Is this A) a new kind of obscurantism designed to convince us plebs that the ministry is guided by hallucinogenic drugs or B) a reference to the Disqus comments?Perhaps this will clarify:
Okaaaaay ... I'm back at a working broadband connection, so I download the book PDF ...

The changes are a result of better improvement of the translations from the original languages, or new discoveries in the research of the early history of the reconquest of the silent world. You might think that this is a well researched subject, but in fact much of what has been earlier called history and taught in schools has turned out to be myths and fables, especially when it comes to what we know about the six so called "Silent Heroes" and their cat. For example, the claim that Sigrun Storhildur fought off a thousand and one giants all by herself shows up only in a book from year 153, and seems to have no basis in history. However, Emil Hårfagre's good looks and shining hair, as well as Mikkel Mangfare's stoic calm against any danger is attested in contemporary sources, so a lot of the seemingly mythical qualities of these heroes are clearly historical.
;-)
In the amazing page where every crewmember has drawn Kitty, Mikkel accidentally wrote 'Missekatt' with double t at first. He erased the last t shortly after.
Although his eyes were closed when he used the eraser and accidentally erased an s first.

For a brief moment Norway had succesfully occupied the UK and changed their flag to look more like Norways own flag.

As we know, there has been a second print run of SSSSvol1 sold exclusively through HiveWorks. Now an anonymous user has edited the wiki page on Dalsnes (http://sssscomic.wikia.com/index.php?title=Dalsnes&diff=8261&oldid=7907), stating that the World Map in it matches the online version again (whereas the books of the original print run had various edits in it). That would make the second print run into a second edition IMHO. Could someone who bought one of those books please confirm that?
Actually... I hazily recall that he was introduced as a day scout as well..
Edit: However when looking through the wayback machine, the earliest snapshot is june 2014 and that shows his occupation as just being a Mage
I wasn't here back in the day, but that is a mighty suspicious lack of little dots and weird placing of words. It looks pretty edited.
I mean, I've had plenty of moments where I realized that due to a characters nature something else makes completely no sense and I have to change something that has been established in my head for years.
So...I don't have any way to verify this, but I swear when Onni was first introduced, his listed profession was "Military: Mage, Day Scout." In the course of getting feedback for a fic I'm working on, it was pointed out to me that he hasn't left Keuruu's walls in eleven years. Which...would make the "scout" part kind of difficult, but I'd never thought about it before. So I checked the character page and it just lists his profession as "Mage". The page on which he's introduced (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=72) says "Military: Mage" but it kind of looks like it might have been edited (the rest of the lines have dots to fill up the empty space, but that one doesn't). Does anyone else remember him being listed as a Day Scout at one time, or am I just crazy?The actual image file has been re-uploaded Jan-2016, but is identical to the one I downloaded 01-Jul-2015. No claim to scouthood when his Wiki page was set up in early Sep-2014, either.

Back in September I promised to check this...
Today I actually did.
The map in the second edition has indeed reverted to the online version with Dalsnes on the south side of Sognefjord and back at number 3 on the population list.
I just noticed a tiny difference, though: The world map of the second print run has a revision date set in Year 90 in small print at the top, while the online one has Year 87. What does that the first print run say? (Either way, I love how our confusion can be chalked up to scribal error in-world now, it feels so organic!)
Do you mean the other way round? Both my printed ones have 87, and the online map has 90.
Hey, is there a dedicated thread for book 2? I think there's one but my phone is too dumb to find ityes. Blame the phone, no-one will suspect anything.
Anyway, I finally started leafing through my book 2 PDF, and I notice that, page 61 (web page 330), Onni and Lalli refer to Reynir as "(not) ally". I distinctly remember Lalli saying "He's not my friend!"
Am I misremembering?
As far as I know, we don't have that thread (yet?)
And yes, you are misremembering, I just checked page 330 where Lalli says "He's not my ally"
Well, this whole thread is about how Minna sometimes goes back and changes details in some pages, so that's not much proof.
However, I'm quite sure these entries have something to do with people remembering him as having been a day scout at some point. Should I change them?Onni positively hasn't done any scouting ever since he arrived in Keuruu:
But no, there's no outright statement that he has never done any scouting, and he did somehow trek from Saimaa to Keuruu with Tuuri and Lalli before figuratively throwing away the keys to the walls of Keuruu.
The quartet wanted to hire him and send him into the Silent World, as a mage, maybe deluding themselves into thinking that he could double as a (day) scout, but he wholly rejected that offer.
