gollark: Approximate and heavily biased summary: palaiologos suddenly demanded that all (future?) events not require specifically Python after being annoyed by HelloBoi's event somehow, and ubq shut down the code guessing event and left.
gollark: "Common sense is that which is obvious to us and not others."
gollark: Well, as I said earlier, ubq did choose to leave and could also have not left.
gollark: Oh look, palaiologos decided to just post in the place where they cannot be responded to after saying they would leave.
gollark: See, you should have elected me, I would never do this.
