gollark: What do you mean you could "see that happening"? I implemented the disconnection thing. Parse error? DISCONNECT. Don't send a `type` field in your message? DISCONNECT. Send `identify` when your state isn't `connected`? DISCONNECT. Send anything other than `identify` when your state *is* `connected`? DISCONNECT.
gollark: To annoy people, I'm going to make SPUDNET disconnect clients if they make any sort of protocol mistake whatsoever.
