I'm working on setting up a forum for the Duck Soup MIT Puzzle team. Don't bother to post in it while I'm knocking the thing together, okay? Stuff will be deleted and it will act funny while I'm working on it.

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

Aha, so it does have to do with the Marx Brothers. Well, vaguely.

Oh, I see... Cool.

So... Can someone explain what that means? The event, I mean.

Wait, we shouldn't post in there because of the possibility of threads being deleted? Or because we will be ban hammered if we do?

Because there is a difference

I wonder what a strip tease from a creature made of souls would be like?

You shouldn't post in there because it has a specific purpose and you would be interfering with that for no good reason. And because Fast Eddie asked you not to.

^ Well, Fast Eddie said don't BOTHER to post. So that can be taken to mean, "There is no point in posting as it will just be deleted, so don't bother"

So if you do post it is equal to honking the horn while someone is under the hood of the car. Sure it seems funny at the time.

I believe he is plotting something with it. Something related to the college.

And no, I still don't know what the event is, because the wiki thing linked about it (and all google search attempts for it) have turned up very cryptic information. I don't know why it's being done or what prizes, if any, are to be had.

It's related to a few threads that popped up in Yack Fest.

I meant could someone explain the purpose of the subforum to me.

I understand something about a puzzle team from MIT? But that's about it.

Glenn has mod powers limited to threads in that forum. I can't speak for the other regular mods but I will be ruthless about keeping that forum clear of natter and shitposting.

This is interesting. Too bad I don't have any outstanding puzzle-solving abilities and don't know what I'll be doing on MLK weekend.

I guess I'd still try to participate if I had the time.
