Samtredia will play their home match at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, Tbilisi, instead of their regular stadium Erosi Manjgaladze Stadium, Samtredia.

gollark: Or maybe they just check it for keywords automatically, who knows.

gollark: I assume most people would agree with (most of) those things, but just saying, effectively, "more good things, fewer bad things" isn't very meaningful. Maybe that's what you're going for, but I assume they might want you to say/make up more personal-scale things.

gollark: > a return to traditional moral valuesSounds vaguely worrying. But otherwise yes, I suppose. But that's not exactly... actionable?

gollark: Well, the societally accepted solution would be to make up some meaningless answer about it but then not actually do anything.

gollark: That seems... irrelevant and kind of stupid, then, yes.
