Implement Role Options about emafiaserver

If the roles are in Javascript wouldn't it be significantly simpler to have the options themselves be implemented in Javascript by role scripters?

It would be a lot simpler to just allow the options to be coded into the role through JavaScript, but to allow those options to be altered by the users setting up a Match through the client is the questionable factor I've been pondering over.

While it's a bit hacky, you could have some sort of tag in comments that instructs the client to present the variable as a host option, then directly manipulate the javascript string based off of the option the user picks. For instance,
var numKills = 3; //@hostoption int Number of nightkills allowed
The client (or server, depending on how the architecture is set up) would have to parse the string and look for any @hostoption tags, and use the supplied type (int), flavour text (Number of nightkills allowed) and default value (3) to present to the user. Then use string replacement shit to replace the tag with the supplied value before feeding it to rhino
