Personnel (original version)
gollark: Maybe it doubles each prize you get?
gollark: So sort of like the existing raffle requirements when they're actually interesting but bigger numbers, not locked to each month, and you get a guaranteed prize?
gollark: Since the main limit is the 5 hours you need to keep eggs before abandoning them.
gollark: The egg gathering thing is also more bot-resistant than regular hunting.
gollark: I liked the idea of one user-selected prize per trophy.
