gollark: Oh hey, it responded.
gollark: I mean, as far as I'm aware my arguably-evil plan should work just using my own account. I'd test it but the bot seems to not be responding to new posts. Or is just late.
gollark: Hopefully an actual system fix rather than "let's ban alts".
gollark: You could probably find it with a bunch of testing, but connecting to the bot through reddit is slow enough that it likely does not matter.
gollark: Race conditions would be problematic if one part stored one price and one stored a different one for a bit and you could exploit that. Which is probably not the case, though.
