Collaborations
gollark: I mean, S1/V1 wasn't really an alpha, and this is definitely not beta-quality.
gollark: Can we go for "v1"/"original MemeEconomy"/"season 1" for the old version which was upvote-based, and "v2 alpha"/"season 2 alpha" for the current horrible mess?
gollark: I'd say it's more of an alpha.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: Because Noerdy keeps changing around the names.
