gollark: My theory on use of walls: I think if you're attacked you automatically fight back, yes? Presumably the walls just distract the automatic fighting mode.

gollark: Yet another problem with the event: it's cheaper to destroy and rebuild the snow cannons than it is to repair them.
gollark: Waiting for materials for more expensive weapons, not that they'll probably do much.
gollark: That's what I'm doing. It's great.
