The large stockpile of ais523 stamps was fairly valuable back when I originally created it, too (and is not really enough for a win on its own; most of the Radiance I used for the win came from stamp trades in the intervening months). It's also been substantially crippling my gameplay ever since we switched to the new system – stamp creation is based on the number of stamps of your type that exist, so I haven't been able to create ais523 stamps since the system was enacted, meaning I've been locked out from a portion of gameplay. (It is worth contrasting with Yachay's stamps-into-radiance win, which was achieved fairly quickly by a new player soon after registering – because Yachay stamps were easy for em to create and valuable, e was able to trade for stamps that gave enough radiance to win, with no pre- existing asset stockpile to use.) -- ais523
