gollark: > an additional rule change:> submissions should be your own original work. it is discouraged (though allowed) to take code from external sources such as the internet, and it is no longer allowed to submit original code written by any other member of the server after the round started.What if I just describe my code to someone in detail and have them rewrite it?
gollark: I see.
