gollark: No. We use base 10 here.
gollark: #8 has votes on it already, and I don't THINK they should retroactively apply.
gollark: I was very wise and foresighted, you see.
gollark: I definitely noticed that and did not foolishly assume you hadn't edited it to say zero instead of one.
gollark: We voted democracyicially to be unable to vote for things.
