    gollark: In retrospect, it would make much more sense to handle it differently. I could edit it now, actually.
    gollark: I tried to pack as much information as possible ~~without very much work~~ into the URLs, so they also support base64'd base256 encoded numbers (yes this is a mess) and (really poorly done) RLE on those.

    gollark: Besides, it's much more efficient to use the RLE capability.
