Proposal: Bot Bouts

Reached quorum 7 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Add a new rule, called Bouts:

Operators pit their Bots against each other in Bouts. At any time, each Operator may be engaged in at most one Bout.

Operators have a Readiness, which is publicly tracked, which may be either In the Workshop or Ready, and which defaults to In the Workshop.

At any time, the Announcer may Announce an upcoming Bout, by randomly selecting two Operators whose Readiness is Ready and making a post Announcing their names.

This is a semi-explicit vacation of the field on how Bouts work; I have some ideas while I’ll propose in a day or two if there are no good suggestions in the air, but I’d be keen to see what Operators can come up with.

Is there anything to stop a bot from being in multiple simultaneous bouts? If this post wasn’t already locked to editing, I’d suggest that “in a bout” might be useful as a separate readiness value.
