gollark: Boxford? Weird place name.
gollark: It's somewhat cool? On actual DTel, you can dial random people if you're bored, although this one has no "phone book" feature.
gollark: It's called "DTel", and the main difference is that *it's* actually widely used, aims for realism more than mine, uses actual phone *numbers* instead of word sequences, doesn't use the webhook thing, and has a currency system.
gollark: Well, I took the entire idea from a Discord bot doing almost the same thing, but somewhat differently.
gollark: Anyway, so currently the calls thing is only on the test instance, but I'll upgrade the main one after further testing™ so all 11 participating servers can enjoy it.
