Honors

Montreal Impact
gollark: I do have an archive of all my pastes there, but if they do kill it completely I'll have to fix a lot of stuff.
gollark: Pastebin's VERY harsh rate limiting means PotatOS Tau actually has to fall back to my server for updates half the time.
gollark: It's also case-sensitive now, breaking SO many things.
gollark: I started up a git server and moved potatOS to it because of the bad changes they badly made.
gollark: Maybe if ender modems were large multiblocks of some sort, or if they could only communicate with stuff at the same X/Y/Z coord across dimensions, or if they could only work with portals nearby or something, we would have CC networking which actually does routing.
