| Re: [spoon-discuss] pseudocode actions | 
I'd like to make a case for pseudocode actions. Yes, they can be used in scams, but as Wonko aptly demonstrated one can do an analog scam just as easily; you can't probably pre-emptively scam-proof the game without preventing action altogether.On the other hand, if I were to go on vacation but didn't particularly want to go On Leave, I could see myself doing something like this:for each nweek { at the end of nday 10 { for each proposal on the ballot { if a vote hasn't been submitted in my name for this proposal { if the proposal was from uin I vote NO else if the proposal was from Dan I vote SHELVE else if Wonko voted YES and uin voted NO I vote YES else if BvS voted YES and bd voted NO I vote YES else if WC voted YES and Naath voted NO I vote YES else if Wonko and BvS and WC all voted YES I vote NO else if a single YES vote would override an Administrator veto { if <1d2> == 1 I vote YES else I ABSTAIN } else I ABSTAIN } } } }Which of course is just an example, and isn't meant in any way to reflect upon the current state of the world or my attitude regarding same. :)Glotmorf
-Gee, how would we ever notice you were absent? *snaps fingers* I know! You'd need another pseudocode:
for each message posted to spoon-business
  {
  if posted by Wonko
    I find a hole
  else
    I find a hole
  }
for each message posted to spoon-discuss
  {
  if posted by Wonko
    I disagree
  else
    {
    if <1d3> == 1
      I agree
    if <1d3> == 2
      I disagree
    if <1d3> == 3
      I do not comment
    }
  }
There, that's my feeble attempt at a pseudo-Glotmorf.-
