gollark: It does, you realise, support multiple lines.
gollark: <@263493613860814848> Well, it's very simple. Apparently YOU experienced a weird quirk where it suddenly decided to allow you to use it, *possibly* because of some inconsistent weirdness in the way discord.py works. Then I took it down and really quickly wrote a hotfix to do it in a more recommended way which should work.
gollark: <@160279332454006795> Please try it.
