Correct! As weird as it sounds, though, it's both passing and not moving. More accurately, the closer we get to the edge of the "year' bubble, the farther the "year" bubble expands to prevent us from getting there. Events are accumulated, there's space between them. Lots of time passes. I just wouldn't try to measure it. In the end, the game will be "about a year long," even if it feels like a very, very long year.Quote:

Everything still happened, and there was a lot of time between Ms. Krabappel's first appearance and her death - just don't try too hard to measure it or make a timeline.
Also, I just remembered that Fernehalwes mentioned the bubble at Fan Festival Vegas, so the most recent reference is actually a few months ago.
