gollark: ...
gollark: I mean, I guess it might be a net gain since you're seemingly just selling to "the market" instead of other players?

gollark: Honestly I think it's kind of stupid even with lots of players, since the only thing which has any impact on how much you get is how many other people wildly jump on the bandwagon.
