I heard that Insert_Username_Here and shsh are war criminals, what will be done to ensure the integrity of the contest?

    I understand your concern. We have already implemented over 63 measures to prevent any criminal activity, ensuring the contest's integrity.

      This is quite good. I sincerely hope that the events of HPI are calm enough that shsh and Insert_Username_Here have to appear in front of less than 539 tribunals this time, and the Harker Programming Club does not have to sell its newest members into slavery to pay bail.

        I'm not too clear on the war criminal allegations but I want to confirm that under no circumstance will we sell our members into slavery.

I have heard that TheYashB is a skibidi sigma, what will be done to prevent competitors from passing out after seeing his amazing aura?
