But if they all play cyborgs you could still give them extra points but
secretly make a Team AI. This AI would act like any other AI but it
affects the whole posse. That could cause a great big can of problems.
And they can't get rid of the Team AI because it resides in all members
and will copy itself into a member of the posse who erased it. The
individual AI's would not ever try to counter an order from the Team AI
since it outranks them.
