gollark: ```The "apiomemetics" strategy will be as follows:- if this is the first turn, fork process- if you are the parent process, wait for the child to terminate- if child, use a strategy and see how well it goes- at 100th turn (matches are AT LEAST this long), if child, send message to parent via shared memory and exit- repeat with different strategy- store best strategy against current opponent somewhere, use on all subsequent turns```
