Matt;
Yes, what I tried to insinuate before was that there is a certain element of randomization with color and ascii and an ever-changing nature about elements of the map that make it more difficult to script. I did not say it was impossible, only more difficult than most systems.
I am quite good at scripting(your insults are unfounded, yet predictable), and merely challenge you, Matt, to put your money where your mouth is. If you can create a design for a combat bot that could fight as well as a human player, I would be very impressed. I'm sure it's not impossible to script certain elements of the system, but it is assuredly not made easy, nor would scripting be as helpful with the system I've designed as it would be other systems.
So, let's avoid further flaming and needless rhetoric. If this is a subject which really interests you, show more than a repeated and easily counterable argument and do the work. Or let's agree to disagree on whether or not scripting is a positive force in PvP. Mmmk?

KaVir;
Exactly.
Though I've admittedly not taken this much into account, I'm not sure that an action/strategy based survival-horror text-rpg would offer much interest to blind players to begin with. If it did, there are steps we could take to make it more accessable to them upon request.
