Notes
  1. Lisbon Half Marathon winners
gollark: It's probably because of our exclusion from the ridiculous "don't talk about NDs" rule on the forums.
gollark: I was hoping my hatchery would help, but noooo...
gollark: Feesh, I think, got an IOU for 72 ash/boreal hatchlings for an ND, which is on the same rarity level as a 2G prize, right?
gollark: I mean, you do have a CB prize, too.
gollark: You could try gathering rare CBs and then trading them for ash hatchlings.
