--- Quote from: Tova on 15 Dec 2017, 17:19 ---Obviously Hanners will be pretty unhappy. But I suspect that Tilly will also be unhappy. Both of them have been screwed around by this, and Beatrice appears oblivious.
Not for much longer.

O, but it hasn't been confirmed that Tilly didn't know about their father's deal.

That's true. Still, I suspect that Tilly did not. Time will tell.
Edited because I suddenly realised that my post was a bit snarky, and I don't want to be guilty myself of adding to the bad vibes. Sorry.

O mate, don't even worry about that. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt when discussing opposing views on forums, chats, texts because, unlike speaking, it's hard, sometimes, to tell if someone IS being snarky and dismissive or just being concise and to the point. And from all of your comments that I've read (yes, even while lurking before I started sorta, semi-regularly commenting myself), you never struck me as someone who was mean, for the hell of it. But thanks, anyway, for going through the trouble to clarify.
And just for the record, I got your original meaning when you said 'suspect', I was just putting in my thoughts that if Tilly's father was openly (most likely jokingly)asking her to be a corporate spy, he may have been open about getting her the job as well. But you're right, only time will tell us the answer. Time...or a super smart AI who can use math to predict the answers to every question down to a 99.9999~% accuracy.
But where to find one of those. :)

>I kinda wonder why the moderation doesn't call for a less agressive intonation here.
Global Moderator Comment Fair question! There's been one blue-bordered expression of concern already. But the goal of allowing vigorous criticism is important to us. I guarantee mod action if we see it as getting personal and it has come too close for comfort.
Is it cold in here?:
Will we find out more of Hannelore's backstory?

We can hope?
I don't remember: Are Hanner's parents still married? And are their respective companies?
Someone suggested out that maybe the Tessier-Ashpools in Will Gibson's Neuromancer were the inspiration for the Elliot-Chatham's ... which would make Hanners the opposite of 3Jane Tessier-Ashpool (3rd female clone of her name, Queen of spoiled brats, all-round nasty piece of work), Hannerdad's counterpart would be the almost-late-but-not-lamented wife-slayer John Harness Tessier-Ashpool, whose main talent apart from spousicide is his creativity at staging his own departure from this vale of tears, and Hannermom's opposite number would be Marie-France, mother-in-spirit of the clan's AIs Wintermute and Neuromancer and religiously convinced that human evolution scuttled up a wrong branch once the Homo-family started developing consciousness.
TL;DR - The TA's operate at such baroque levels of f**ked-in-the-headness they make the Elliot-Chatham's look achingly conventional.
Sorflakne:
I only just now noticed there's tiny text in the lower right corner of each comic. How long has that been going on?
