Oops, sorry, I was indeed not being sarcastic. Given that I
usually am, I think I should take the fall for that one, so
sorry about that, Magnus. I'm not sure why I phrased it the
way I did. Maybe I was jokingly pretending to  be sarcastic?

To clarify my original post, I didn't get very far through
Varicella at all, so I had no clue how things turned out.
I hadn't realized there was really supposed to be a master
plan, as opposed to there just being an annoying cant_go
message which I tend to use as a canonical example of how
not to create immersion.
