Dream Team

The 2013 Gold Coast Sevens 'Dream Team' as voted for by the fans.[29]

gollark: Really? Interesting.
gollark: I don't think it was actually due to anything you did but just this sort of thing being really hard in general.
gollark: It probably wouldn't be. I suspect it's because it didn't really have that many people, and there was not that much actual discussion of esolangs available.
gollark: Yes, esoserver didn't work, doesn't mean you're okay.
gollark: Are, I should say.
