#VengefulSniper

This started as something I thought was original called StupidBuffering (a name I hated to give up), then ended up being just a PrudentSniper who didn't care if he was being targeted. This also seemed to be the only reason he couldn't beat PrudentSniper, so I tweaked things around a bit to make that his focus.

Now, this is basically a sniper, but if the smartest or dumbest bot targets him, he will target whichever one got the most votes last round. If they both got the same number of votes and both targeted him, he goes back to normal sniper-y behavior.
