Honors
Zamalek SC
gollark: On the moon.
gollark: There's a 28-day-ish day/night cycle.
gollark: No, you just have... longer hours?
gollark: Actually, come to think of it, you would probably need a pretty powerful microcontroller to hold and handle the whole database of time zone insanity.
gollark: An RTG might be better for the whole "overengineering" thing than solar power, but they're pretty hard to get hold of, and it might be a bit heavy.
