gollark: What do you need 10000 iterations *for*?!
gollark: So basically, the random seed will only be usefully set once, in the last iteration of that løøþ of yours, which is kind of horrible for the server by the way.
gollark: The problem is, *all math.randomseed calls before the last one you do have no effect*.
gollark: Your mildly evil 10000-iteration loop will, so far as I can tell, have basically no effect versus just one run.
gollark: Only the latest `math.randomseed` call affects `math.random` calls.
