It comes from Vampire: TM, describing the kind of player that plays a Malkavian’s “insanity” as dumb shit like slapping people with a fish (a la Monty Python).

All good.

It’s not a big deal but if you’re using my idea it would be nice to reply to my comment :]

I was thinking of a scene from a Discworld book but that’s also a good example.

You could give them the spirits of the righteous dead, the fallen soldiers and heroes of the realm that continue to fullfill their duty even in death.

Summoning undead is usually an evil act in most fantasy, but you can easily write it to suit this purpose.

It’s not the same game at all. A single purpose piece of code does not have the same considerations as a large software application. It’s more like one is speed chess and the other is actual armies on a battlefield.

Clickbait title. This is in the context of competitive coding, which is a very specific and constrained programming exercise with a time limit. Which is not at all comparable to real world software development.
