Huh. I hadn't even thought of players hosting their own AI! That would actually be EXTREMELY easy to implement on my end, haha. You are correct, and that's basically what the game is doing already just to my own AI server, so all I would have to do is use a pugged-in url, perform a POST call and then parse the response. What a good idea!
So I guess my to-do list now is: 1) Forgot password feature 2) B.Y.O.A.I. :)
