inform

public boolean inform(Universe.Outcomes outcome)

This method is sent the "outcome" of a critique "battle" that takes place in the game being written by our theoretical other GUI team. There are several possible Outcomes defined in the Universe. Based on that outcome, this method need to increment internal hype level if and only if the number of critique victories since the last time the internal hype was increased has reached the Universe's THRESHOLD. A critique victory is defined as an outcome of FRESH being passed into this method. However, it sets the numberOfFans to 0 if the outcome was a loss (ie: an outcome of ROTTEN was passed into this method. A tie (ie: an outcome of NEUTRAL) has no impact on any stord values and the method simply returns false. A critique victory is defined as an outcome of FRESH. A critique lose is defined as an outcome of ROTTEN.
