gollark: Some offense, but this honestly seems like a bad mobile game where you have to constantly log in to collect resources and stuff, but you also have to manually handle the rules too.
gollark: Honestly this is kind of boring.

gollark: Okay, I have DEFINITELY not got any timer issues now because it has been eight hours or so since I was on.
gollark: Yes, they are. Unfortunately, I was temporarily using Lua, which uses 1-based indexing.
