Yeah, that was simply a time-pressure weakness: I haven't historically followed the Yahoo group, and just didn't have time to dig through the archives before writing the game. Hence, some inconsistencies with this sort of non-canon but somewhat known material. The game is based *solely* on the comic in its form to date. (And has a few bugs even against that.)

Worth noting for next time, though. A pity, because it *completely* violates the Jaeger Cosmogony (probably my favorite piece of writing in the game), but for the second pass it may be worth going through the Yahoo archives and seeing where the violations are. And aside from loving the Cosmogony, there's nothing terribly sacred about the Jaeger history and plot that I made up for the game -- it was a weak plot, mainly for Jenka's benefit, and could easily enough be changed.

Out of curiosity: have they ever said anything about the hats? I wrote a ridiculously intricate backstory, inspired solely by that ongoing joke...
