gollark: Not entirely sure what you mean.
gollark: Days and score/viewy stuff, you mean?
gollark: My hatchery project will ideally reduce sicknessy issues somewhat, but unfortunately I only have the EATW formulae to work from.
gollark: Also, because sickness is probably defined using some formula from score (V/UV/clicks accumulated using a seeeecret thingy) and time, and removing it would probably cause thorny issues like "when should it be allowed to come back".
gollark: Because the God-Emperor saith so.
