Awards and Honors
gollark: I'd also be burning CPU cycles uselessly to go around satisfying some weird requirement which can be replaced with some clicking.
gollark: Very inconvenient. If I log off I want stuff to actually run.
gollark: I only know of one with villagers.
gollark: Again, there are no creative solutions to chunkloading, except exploiting bugs.
gollark: Eh, whatever. I just don't like paying to work around implementation details.
