gollark: That's annoying. There's *another* 2G prize up asking for something I might be able to breed... in two hours.
gollark: I see them occasionally, but then miss them, as is required by centuries of DC tradition.
gollark: Ah, the ambiguity of language.
gollark: I read it as "CB copper or CB aeon or CB gold".
gollark: They generally ask for more.
