So, having heard the request many many times, I finally conceived a sane way of generating random nodeshells, and thus created a superdoc to do just that: behold, the creatively titled Random nodeshells.
In celebration of this storied occasion, all noders submitting nodeshell rescues by 23:59:59 Thursday (server time) will receive a 10XP bonus from kthejoker. (Only nodeshells created before Thursday will be considered "rescued.") Please /msg me with all applications.
Happy noding!
