gollark: The bronze trophy?

gollark: I don't think TJ09 could just accidentally break all warding without actively working on the ward BSA.

gollark: Bad Idea #3961: a ward which prevents death by out-of-time.

gollark: ***bug*** or TJ09 finally making Ward usable.

gollark: Nobody complained that my hatchery's automatic remove-if-sick-or-has-too-many views feature "trivializes hatching stuff" or something. Interesting. I expected the forums to say silly things like that.
