gollark: Yes, yes it does... oops...
gollark: It *does* probably go against TJ09's **Grand Vision**...
gollark: I'm amazed it works at all.

gollark: Without API access, going over everything on the scroll is *annoying*. The only reason I can process eggs at all is because I spent ages on some regexes.
