The name is of Hungarian origin: vég les (Weegles 1395), free translation "at the end", "a tree stand at the edge". The name was motivated by a royal hunting ground.[1]

gollark: Every 500 XP you get, the XP bar goes half the remaining distance to the end, but it never gets there.
gollark: Have an XP counter, but just have, say, an 0.1% chance of going up a level every second.
gollark: Actually, just do it entirely randomly.
gollark: If you're just trying to make it even more annoying and complex, why not use... `sin(tan(x))` or something ridiculous like that?
