gollark: Yeeees, *why* is being in Germany particularly lucky?
gollark: "Goodbye", "MasterMouseIII".
gollark: *I* could find more information about me if I was paying more attention to what I did than that.
gollark: I try to avoid providing enough information to uniquely identify myself and/or allow people to know exactly where I am, although at this point I *may* have leaked enough random details that that's not the case.
