gollark: Post enough in Suggestions/Requests and it would appear annoyingly placed in the middle of your scroll.
gollark: The last one would also be obtainable via drama, then.
gollark: Finally, one would be obtainable by demanding one from God-Emperor TJ09.
gollark: One would be put in the *AP* at random.
gollark: One in the cave, one by raffle, one by posting trades automatically and randomly picking offers, one via a secret link, one via breeding random dragons (they'd occasionally produce a new CB sinnerscale)...
