More or less I was able to follow (except few lambda() parts - this
concept still puzzles me sometimes...)

I think that if we will allow players to send scripts, there will always
be problem of security - even with very good precautions.

I'll think about things you've said, but for now I would propose to
stick to server-side only scripts. If client wants to have it's own, ok
- but it should communicate by normal packets. 

I suppose that main reason for allowing client to send scripts to server
is to make client able to catch some events at exact point - for example
moving unit at moment it passes by (it is the reason for autoattack
option after all I think). But I still think it is possible to handle it
by dialogs with options etc which are later wrapped in data packet and
send.
