Towns

gollark: I think I have a 3G from 2 prizes Braxatiel gifted me lying around, but I have nothing to breed it with yet.
gollark: *That* just cost a CB magma, so occasionally you can get lucky, I guess?
gollark: I managed to get a 3G PB prize IOU for a 3G prize from CB prize. That was a weird day.
gollark: Via madness, there are actually 3G PB prizes in existence.
