I turned off this module because a particular forums member was deliberately crashing it.

@error
Anyway, you can hardly blame me when the error case is "finishing the game".

@error_bot !xkcd Anti-Mindvirus
@pie_flavor I'm talking about you picking up all the items and dropping them to overflow.
-
-
@error if they didn't want you to use that command, they wouldn't've put it in the game. It's hardly a break. And if you spend like fifteen turns dropping everything individually the thief's bound to come by and bother you.
-
It was fine when you did it once, twice, even thrice. Eventually I got tired of going to restart the service.
Considering the process that exited was external to my code, all I could have done to mitigate it was restart the service.
-
@error If I wrote a game that crashed every time someone jumped, I would probably not feel like complaining that users jump too much.
-
@pie_flavor Except the combo that crashed the game involved over 60 moves.
-
@error it's a consistent game. I should write a bot to play the game through your bot.

The Thing That Your Aunt Gave You is a container. You can put stuff in the container, and then dropping everything is as simple as just dropping the Thing. So you can, in fact, avoid making that many moves in sequence.
-
@PotatoEngineer you misunderstand. I was in fact making about sixty individual moves in one post.
