Uh... what? I mean, ketchup is technically concentrated fruit juice.

 

[Tibithia Σ]

No, no, ketchup is definitely a sauce. You drink juice, you don't put juice on food.

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Sorry, Fallacy might've got her hooves on my account for a moment.

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Ketchup is closer to jam than juice, but even then, I wouldn't say it's jam. Salsa is closer to tomato jam than ketchup.
Do you have a particular mane-keeping strategy, or do you just let it grow out?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

"Eh, I just let it grow out... and then cut it jagged."
"Hmm... noup!"
"Always making sure it looks like one of more regal mares. After all, they will believe that I'm not that good (and then I can paint them surprised once they lose a lot.)"
"Mostly making sure that it flows in the wind and doesn't obscure my vision."

 

[Tibithia Σ]

And how long should it take to fully grow out?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

"Like one to two weeks."
"Well... my mane's at full size, so I only trim every three months, when it's too big."
"Like...hm. If you were to cut my mane or what?"
"Should be two to three weeks of growth alone. But then again, there's more aspects like grooming it to have the desired traits."

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Also, any suggestions for pony character makers?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Ponytown is one. Another is you - you can pretty much do a description and imagination makes the dreamwork.

 

[Tibithia Σ]

I wouldn't rely on my drawing skills, they're horrendous.

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Eh, I mean - writing skills. When you have a framework, you have everything.

 

[Streyll]

Out of the strategy games you've played, how would you rate them in terms of preference?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Spellforce 2 > Empire Earth 2 > Age of Empires > Age of Empires 3 > The Settlers 5 > Empire Earth/Age of Empires 2 > Age of Mythologies > Crusader Kings 1 > Hearts of Iron > Any other game I didn't cover.

 

[Streyll]

When playing Age of Empires (any version), how do you prefer to organize your armies?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Chaos!

@ Have you ever read Harry Potter or used a Windows computer?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Windows? Sure, the XP version. Harry Potter? What's that?

 

[Streyll]

Do you prefer rushing to defeat your opponents early or playing a longer game in Age of Empires?

 

[Flask & Vella the Latias]

Eh, I want to play longer games. But I don't hesitate to attack early to give them a bad footing and an advantage to myself either.

 

[Streyll]

Do you keep any troops at your base for defense, or just rely on bringing your offense troops back or training new ones to defend?
