bot or not Tobrien and Jobrien are not actually bots -- anyone who talks in the rooms is not a bot; they never talk. And you're right about the bots sometimes being WAY to good for their ranking. The problem is that they usually suck, but sometimes the algorithm works out really well for them and they just kill you immediately! I can see how that seems like they are assassins -- I've been caught a couple times myself. We're going to try to work on a better algorithm this weekend.
erm... did i read that right... You guys actually populate your online games with bots? Well... if i go online, i actually want to play against a real human being, not some bot with coded DNA. I think you guys should remove all bots from online multiplayer, its just wrong and bothering on deceiving players unless you mark them clearly as "BOTS".
If i'm gonna be paired with a bot, i'll just exit the game. Whats the point of playing online if you are going to play a bot?
