proposed mafia changes/improvements

[docrostov]

as we dig in on individual tiles and think through what information can be best displayed to a user, we are finding small areas where changes to mafia tracking (or, in most cases, not changes but small additions to mafia tracking) could be extremely helpful in disambiguating certain tiles or adding specificity where we need it. this issue is meant to be a long-running issue where we collect these issues so we aren't just constantly pinging gausie and can have a small bank of useful bite-sized mafia improvements that would be nice for our purposes. in many cases we can probably figure out how to code these.

COSMIC BOWLING BALL

• no tracking for "which monster is banished" by bowl a curveball. should exist, perhaps bowlingTarget?
• similarly, there is no tracking for which zone you used bowl sideways in. that should (probably) exist? maybe these could be one pref that's like zone:zonename if you bowled sideways and monster:monstername if you bowled a curveball, idk.'
• we also need some catch for if the user has used a bowling ball in the bowling alley for the free bowling ball NC replacement

BACKUP CAMERA & EMOTION CHIP

• mafia has a little bit of trouble telling if your last monster was noCopy; many of the monsters in the database are incorrectly marked. this isn't really a mafia feature so much as just updating monsters.txt to reflect nocopy status. (also, does lastCopyableMonster work with cargo short copy status? that's the only real coding thing mafia might have to do but i don't remember if that was patched or not)

COLD MEDICINE CABINET

• it is really hard (perhaps impossible) to tell what the hell is going to come up in your CMC without something grotesque like session log parsing. this is vital information for speed ascension and is worth figuring out ways to support, even if it requires a little mafia work to make it happen. to that end, it would be wildly helpful if there was some way to track the last 20 turn-taking combats that were in a florist friar eligible zone, and the distribution of those.
• the way this is done in tradeline data for the credit bureaus is in large strings where each item represents a statement and the letter represents the way the statement exists. in a similar way this pref could generate something along the lines of: UUUIIOOOUIOUUUUUU where u = underground, i = indoor, o = outdoor, etc with new turn-taking-combats adding to the first letter and the string cycling when it hits like 30 fights. that could then be easily parsed by yorick to project your next spleen item, and warn you if you are about to adventure in a place that ruins your breathitin or something.
