This post right here is my 4000th post here on the Arcen forums...
I think I may be spending a bit too much time here.

Always glad to have you (and all the other regulars!), though.

It's all you folks who hang around so often that make this job so much better.

Yep, community involvement is pretty necessary to keeping these games going (particularly AIW), and generally the best contributions the people who've been around long enough to learn what is and isn't helpful.

And then of course there's spamming the forums with thousands of posts, but I guess it comes with the territory

I usually spam forums with thousands of posts. An old forum I was a regular on, I had like 26,000 posts or something by the end of my time there. Then again, I was on that forum for a longer time than arcen games had existed.
Congratulations Tech! Here are 4000 pancakes to celebrate!

That sounds like a stack overflow bug waiting to happen!

I've become so spoiled with arcen forums I cant get into other ones really anymore. The only other I can enjoy is modding for other strategy games like CK 2. There the modders, like arcen, really listen tobtheir fans and most deeply understand the.game.

I hit 1,000 recently so congrats Techsy!

What can one say. Arcen is awesome.

Under a "naive" implementation of stack management, yes. However, a pancake doesn't need to be accessed again after eating them, thus making them eligible for tail recursion optimization. Thus, you don't even have to use a stack data structure, or even keep all of them around in the same place at the same time. This should avoid any unfortunate stack overflows while trying to eat.

But what if syrup is introduced into it?

Sounds like a job for the Pancake Golem.
