I'm not doing too bad considering I started with a draft team. You guys have been playing together for years.

I've spoken with a couple of your former "bots". Sometimes players just want to run their own turns every once in awhile. While others are happy to be on the "winning" team doing not much more than logging in and letting you use their CPU.

Trust me, it's easier if they played their own turns and I kinda "encourage them to strongly" if they are at keys. It's convenient that they have bots on. Maybe you should pick up some of "MY prior bots then" you might even learn something from them.

They've learned that I'm much more fun to corp with.

Good then getting to 10 should be easy right?? I have played with(on the same team) almost 70 different players/bots over the years. Hundreds of players against. You say your at 6 so far right?? chop chop lets do this.

While they like playing with me, some of them refuse to play "against" you. Not everyone is up to highly scripted play dear.

Oh the excuses.

You know as well as I do there are plenty of players in Ice-9 builders games that will never play in challenge games.

That would me a mind set issue.

Call it what you may, and there are also players who prefer to play solo, so they would not fit into these challenge games.. unless somone hosted a solo player challenge game with multiple players, not just a Death Match.

That's an idea That would also be a botless game. Real players at the keys... I like it!

You know you can use a bot playing solo too?

Would a solo game give you a better chance of winning?

Is that so? How do you bot a player not on your corp?

I'd probably still loose, but then we've be able to showcase individual's skills. I still can't beat Cowboy's scripts to kill his grid while he's online.

1 feature of the bot is botting others... There are a LOT of other uses for a bot.

Of course, reaction scripts.

You remove the login security of mombot then you just need to be on the same SS and you can control all the players you want whether on your team or not. I had a version I modded for testing a few years ago, but it has never been updated for V2.

You could also use a password for non-corp members. I don't know if that feature is implemented in Mombot though.
