Huuuh. I guess you could start with a red velvet batter base? Then figure out a way to thin it without making it taste horrific. Then add chocolate and boil. Boil and add chocolate. Whatever.

What's the appropriate method for liquefying a cake for consumption, anyway? You'd think something like a milkshake (cakeshake) would be doable, m'just not quite sure how. I mean, they've got slurry stuff that's cake flavored, but those tend to taste unilaterally horrific. What I'm saying: Start with actual cake, work way forward.

Couldn't just blend a baked cake, though, I don't think. Well, you could, but the texture would be atrocious. Would have to start somewhere in the batter phase. Maybe... hrm. Maybe if the cake itself was really thick and creamy instead of fluffy or whatever you could work it, I'unno. Wish I had more experience with baking. Confections in general. Near solid red velvet hot chocolate. Is intriguing.

Right... and manes are supposed to (occasionally) generate when an evil critter dies, s'far as I can tell. Problem being, th'game I'm running, 2/3rds of the other dudes I've ran into are evil, every unit I pump out is, things have been dying in droves (due to waging wilderness) and... no manes, 70+ turns in. Not from stuff I kill, not from things that kill me, not from other civs critters keeling over. Nada. No manes ;_;

E: Coulda' sworn infernals were terraformers, too. Doesn't seem like it, though...

... probably not. Even if no names are named, "Game made of <Me/My Life/Etc>" is something that generally has to be posthumous to not be kiiiiinda creepy. Especially when it's not a major media personality. And even those are kinda'... yeah.

Especially if it's an actually decent game, one of those ones that get some actual time sunk into it. "Someone dedicated days of their life to making this game, of me" is definitely past the WTF is going on limit. In the same realm of wtfery as fanfiction. And... we know how that goes. Threads have been locked. Deleted. People warned. Forget if anyone was outright banned, but... yeeaaah.

Necroing because the latest update involves a somewhat wonderful thing! Also: Development is on-going!

But, well. Quote:

I added the code to have task availability depend on other things than class or traits, and to test this added a most glorious task! Inexperienced followers can be tasked with slaying ten rats! A follower who fails badly at this may decide to retire in shame, and a new follower joins your cause (ie the poor fellow re-rolled).

This game is now, perhaps, one of the first I've seen that simulates a starting adventurer failing so badly they pull up a new character sheet. And that it's in-character, played straight, well justified... that's kinda' glorious.

Sooo... what's happened since august, one might ask?
Quests have been added!
The magic system has been expanded on, including onto the battlefield!
There's morale in battle!
More neutral-critters!
There's apparently a 3D battle view, now! (I haven't played since that update, so I have no idea what that entails, haha!)
There's been the first AI iteration implemented!
And you now have minions, instead of just mooks!
Minions you can, among other things, order to go kill rats.
And then some other stuff, but that's the highlights off the RSS feed since august.

Game could probably use some more attention, heh. It seems to be shaping up.

... have you attempted to take the test(s) early and whatnot? S'a lot more likely to happen if you try and get it done before the scheduled time. Day before, earlier in that morning, etc. Don't even have to say it's specifically because of dream theater -- "Something personal and time-sensitive I'm trying to make some room for", etc. Assuming you don't want to outright lie and say something along the lines of "a family event I had sprung on me" or whatev'.

E: Or just the classic and accurate "I've got something coming up that's going to take me out of town -- can I schedule the test early?"

E2: Unless you're the proctor, I guess. Hadn't thought of that. Though if that's the case, even easier to kick 'em back a day

I said small chance, because its a JRPG and that means winning is likely to be heavily grinding-based.  So not my kind of thing.

Eh, check a review. Seems like the answer is it's more knowledge based than grind based, but not having the former can lead to the latter (or the former can require the latter, in other words.).

The odd thing is it's supposed to be one of the better RPG-type things to come out recently on... whatever system it's on. 3DS? I'unno. I don't think I liked its hook concept, but it's supposed to be pretty good.

... since when has that stopped nations from deploying their armed forces? Label the lot of them violent secessionists or whatever and call in the tanks.
