Cast
gollark: Fine, just everyone with a bunch of wyrms.
gollark: We just need to synchronize the timings of five people with >50 xenowyrms.
gollark: The wonderful thing about the AP is that pretty much everything is likely to eventually be grabbed when its timer runs down.
gollark: I have, weirdly, gotten at least three dragons with "Terrafreaky" ancestry.
gollark: I have bred most of my dragons together while my eggslots were full. Soon, the nocturne-flooder will regret their decision, when a bunch of random stuff arrives, in two days. MWAHAHAHA!
