  • Round of 64: bye
  • Round of 32: lost to Simion Cutov (Romania) referee stopped contest in the third round
gollark: For example, I intermittently moderate that.
gollark: osmarks.tk's got the comments system, but that's fairly restrictive.
gollark: *What* slight legal concerns? *Why*?
gollark: Unless there are possible legal concerns or your thing somehow becomes extremely popular or it's really bandwidth-intensive.
gollark: osmarks.tk's traffic is ~0, so I can *easily* afford to host more zero-traffic stuff.
