gollark: By somewhat narrow margins, but it consistently beats the normal grudger.
gollark: And my slightly improved grudger... wins utterly, great.
gollark: I'll make it run 50 times and sum them.
gollark: Except it's also sort of bad because I only see a small slice of the distribution because the execution engine this has is very apioform.
gollark: Wow, making apiomemetics fix the values of all random things ever was a great decision on my part given the ridiculous variance of everything without it.
