gollark: One possible way to fix this would be to have a central "broker" task which receives all state-updating commands ever and maintains stateful state, but this would be annoying too unless I can give everything else read access to it, and actually getting responses back would probably be irritating.
gollark: i.e. two people try and register with the same nick at exactly the same time, and then it has two people with the same nick because each time it checks it hasn't been written yet, and then everything breaks horribly.
gollark: But then I realized "OH APIOFORMS, that is probably vulnerable to weird race conditions".
gollark: So I thought "well, I'll just make it check if the nick is in use when it gets the NICK command".
gollark: However, this does not actually stop multiple people having the same nick, which is no.
