Most Valuable Player

gollark: Do any of these people actually like to see stuff like "Here's a Wumpus for now" in the UI?
gollark: And some languages have a grammatical formal/informal distinction - and they use the formal grammar, but with the really informal wording - which makes it even weirder.
gollark: Apparently they try and use the same sort of thing in other languages...
gollark: On a related note, it annoys me a lot that Discord seem to want to appeal to "gamers"; I don't even know *which* gamers, honestly; with the weird phrasing they use in the UI.
gollark: If it was federated and open, people would be able to move off it more easily.
