To some (many?) that might be what our collective "rattling on"
looks/sounds like.  Especially with some of the overt attempts for
various members to mind-read others.   We might name them (similar to
Core War strategies) names like TinMan, StrawMan, Imp(uter),  StoneMan,
ScissorMan, ScatterShot, etc.

Maybe Nick can adapt his "MOTHA" (my way or the highway) strategy from
the iterated prisoner's dilemma (circa 2004?) into CoreWar .

Or maybe Tom Ray's Tierra
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation)> might be a
better model?
