The reason having script was so important to my strategy was because I relied on methods involving rapid-fire arguments and contradictions against the Gatekeeper whilst trying to prevent him from carefully considering them. A game of logical speed chess, if you will. This was aided by the rule which I added: That Gatekeepers had to respond to the AI.

When someone says that the gatekeeper has to respond to the AI, I would interpret this as meaning that the gatekeeper cannot deliberately ignore what the AI says--not that the gatekeeper must respond in a fixed amount of time regardless of how much time it takes for him to process the AI's argument. If the AI says something that the gatekeeper legitimately needs to take a lot of time to understand and respond to, I would think that the spirit of the rules allows the gatekeeper to take as much time as is necessary.
