Awards and achievements
gollark: Personally, I'm a flat-mooner.
gollark: The C++ bots are still compiling, because they use too many templates.
gollark: The JavaScript bots are still trying to collect the 10000 npm packages they need for `world-conquest@17.4.3`.
gollark: Oh, and TuriExtended™ bots, which have possibly transcended reality due to having useful primitives like time travel and halting problem solving.
gollark: Maybe that lets the EHQ9+ bots *summon* bottles?
