gollark: Just hoard aeons and use them to flood the AP!
gollark: It's good if, like me, you don't get much which is hard to replace but do care slightly about gender in advance.
gollark: I would use it on everything if I had moar aeons.
gollark: Yes, you have some influence over stuff which occurs, but it's mostly random.
gollark: Randomness in the cave, in the raffle, slightly in how many views you get, in the AP, in breeding, in gendering...
