Notes
gollark: The opponent doesn't ALWAYS have that however.
gollark: Perhaps it should see what the next 2 turns are like if it does different things, and pick the best one.
gollark: I'm not sure how improved gollariosity should work.
gollark: Defect iff this would not cause its opponent to defect next?
gollark: Clearly, what gollariosity SHOULD do is... something?
