gollark: - Weapons have a cooldown of 1 hour. Therefore, it is best to go around firing them every hour or so.- Firing weapons at people's stuff is required to level up and get new decorations.- If you wait a long time, people will probably have better equipment than you, so you will get even less XP.
gollark: Why?
gollark: You just need to wait and/or pick up the snow lying around.
gollark: I have some theories on the (very limited) possible utility of walls, but no solid evidence regarding them.
