I only speak from many years of experience of PvP on more MUDs than I could ever hope to count, including Aetolia (and to a lesser extent, Achaea), to the smallest Smaugs, to Midievia and many MUDs.

One can use another's scripts against them - it is not an arguable fact, it happens all the time. And if a script is advanced(I have, for fun, written plenty complexed combat bots and am quite good at scripting, from my days of designing leveling/questing/mini-game bots), you can still learn how it works. No matter how complicated, it will never have the immediate innovation of a real-life opponent. PvP is not chess - it is not as immediately mathematical/logical, and thinking of it as a chess game is a testament to why your thought-process is flawed to begin with.
