I could think of solutions. IE I will tell folks after the round starts "if you see a whisper with this unique string in it, then do not believe it, it is a 'counter-measure' in case the other program is listening." Or, as I said, just use whisper which the opponent can't see directly. Of course a "guest" could log on and observe the game, and see the whispers which could be electronically relayed to the program, but that is getting pretty complex and the server admins could see this going on... IE we could make it illegal for _any_ "tells" to be directed toward an active player...
