Yeah the issue with Zugbot is that because the actions are arbitrary anything, Zugbot can’t know if something is an RBer, or a Vig, or a Doctor, etc, until I add that in (which I haven’t yet)

It sees abilities as a collection of like, functions and whatnot that it executes without knowing what they do

No but I could (theoretically) write an ability that allows the player to input code and start using it

That would be bad though

This site’s creation led to this situation.
As such, we should nuke the site.

the way I see it is there are a limited amount of attributes in 99% of mafia games. someone can visit. some can die. someone has a role. maybe someone can vote. and maybe someone can have a chat. most abilities as a result can fit into writing to and reading from a small set of attributes

This is TRUE and SANE but the way I saw it at the time was “I don’t want to limit myself and want Zugbot to be capable of ALL the things so I will not limit myself”
