gollark: We must all aspire to be as widespread as Terrafreaky.
gollark: <@!237009011801718785> I saw your trade and have a CB chrono xeno, but don't like the pygmies much. Do you have any alternative things to offer? I do like the other new releases.
gollark: Blusangs :/
gollark: I will never understand the trading hub. I asked for a CB copper for a CB paper and got it in minutes. Now I ask for some reds and have gotten no responses in half an hour.
