- HTTU kept hold of the Turkmenistan President’s Cup after coming from a goal down to defeat Turkmen league champions 2-1 in the final of the ten-team tournament.
- AFC President’s Cup qualifiers Ashgabat took the lead in the 13th minute through Arif Mirzoev but for the second successive final HTTU would come from behind to take the trophy.
- The Students, who twice fought back to defeat Aşgabat 3-2 and win the 2007 Turkmenistan President’s Cup, got on level terms when Perkhat Podarov equalised before Berdi Şamyradow scored three minutes into the second-half with the goal that gave HTTU the trophy and the US$20,000 winners’ cheque.
gollark: This might be fixable if you have some kind of zero-knowledge voting thing and/or ways for smaller groups of people to decide to produce stuff.
gollark: If you require everyone/a majority to say "yes, let us make the thing" publicly, then you probably won't get any of the thing - if you say "yes, let us make the thing" then someone will probably go "wow, you are a bad/shameful person for supporting the thing".
gollark: Say most/many people like a thing, but the unfathomable mechanisms of culture™ have decided that it's bad/shameful/whatever. In our society, as long as it isn't something which a plurality of people *really* dislike, you can probably get it anyway since you don't need everyone's buy-in. And over time the thing might become more widely accepted by unfathomable mechanisms of culture™.
gollark: I also think that if you decide what to produce via social things instead of the current financial mechanisms, you would probably have less innovation (if you have a cool new thing™, you have to convince a lot of people it's a good idea, rather than just convincing a few specialized people that it's good enough to get some investment) and could get stuck in weird signalling loops.
gollark: So it's possible to be somewhat insulated from whatever bizarre trends are sweeping things.
