No - the dumbest question is the one unasked ;)

Well, string comparison does not work that way in C. It is done with the
strcmp function, or the str_cmp that is in utils. So, if you'd really
wanted to compare strings, it should be like:
if (!strcmp(argument, "cyborg")) {
do_code1();
} else if (!strcmp(argument, "robot")) {
do_code2();
} else {
do_default();
}
Maybe you should considering working with flags though! This will work
roughly like this, defining a long integer, and you can set/unset/mask
its bits. Have a closer look at the PRF and PLR flags, and how the
macros IS_SET, SET_BIT, REMOVE_BIT are defined.
For a race you could also use a single value, and you define it's meaning
like #define RACE_HUMAN 1, #define RACE_CYBORG 2 etc.
Now, when to use flags when to use single values? If you want, that one
aspect can have several states, like being human and cyborg at the same
time, use flags. Otherwise, if that value is absolute, like: you can either
be human (x)or cyborg (x)or robot...than use a single value.
