gollark: This is obviously much more practical than using dynmap on another monitor.
gollark: Unless they do, I forgot.
gollark: Actually, it doesn't as villagers don't have genes.
gollark: They could short GTech™ if they discovered that I was working on a GTech™ budget imploder or something.
gollark: Well, they certainly won't work for you now.
