[Suggestion] On x100 levels, group players in non-boss rooms so LN spam doesn't help trolls reset nuke cooldowns #184

WH doesn't require that you be in a boss lane to benefit from the level skip.

LN however does require that you be in the lane with other LN users, so that you rest their WH cooldowns.

The downside of being in a boss lane is that using LN to reset WH cooldowns also resets the cooldowns on people's nukes, so (whether trolling or not) they can keep nuking the boss to death.

So if we have script users move to lane 1 whenever the x100 boss isn't in lane 1, and move to lane 2 whenever the x100 boss is in lane 2, then we could spam WH and LN forever in those lanes, without helping the nukers nuke the boss down prematurely.

This is nice because there's nothing the nukers can do about it - it depends on on the scripter's behaviour. There is a way trolls could still get their cooldowns reset, but it would slow them down a lot, and would be automatic if they're using a script.

One of us like a mod can manually go kill the boss if it's been up for a long time.

Hmm, not sure how well it'd work out. It'd be fairly easy for trolls to just copy/paste the same swap lane logic and follow script users around (I would assume they're using a modded script as well). It can only help, however.

Since the majority of WHstrat users are running wchill, I'd post this suggestion over there. I'm down to add it to this repo myself, but unless all the scripts switch, it won't be any help.
