I think imma win.

ShortAssassin better win this game. With a name like that how can :jackson: lose.

But seriously Mats, you need to stop this flame war with SA... I mean, he's not even flaming you back :dunno:

Damnit Mats... why on earth did Zombo give you the power to do that?

I didn't flame him?

Why is my post all neatly formatted when I go to edit it, but on here it looks like crap all bunched up?

Well I let him name my robot lol, so I kinda expected someone along those lines. Editing my post is kinda lame though.

Edit: And I don't think I'm gonna win, my bot sucks lol.

Better for ya'll?

Sorry SA :(

eh, guess I over-reacted, sorry...

Hmm, I predict Kasra wins lol.

I've used this for the random 50/50 using heads as friend.

http://www.random.org/coins/

omg I can't believe kasra's all foe is going to win because you guys have made inflexible friendly bots that don't react to all foes :(

This is gonna take a while. Gonna come back and to to this thread. I guess it will take 24-48 hours or so to do every battle or something like that?

Zombo. I think u just got pwned.

http://www.zombo.justgotowned.com/

Well, if kasra does all foe, mine should do all foe also, unless I made a typo. :unsure:

cheeselord your bot is not all foe, it checks for all-foe mechanism before countering, which is good.

Wow, if I read the chart right, kasra is owning us all.

Was I the first one to fight Kasra? If I wasn't then it shouldn't have triggered randomization, and just gone with foe...

what? it doesnt matter which order you fight who, cuz all bots are reset after every battle. Each batle is independent of one another.

Zombo, how did you determine that you won't win with all foe?

kasra's probably going to win...

My bot is supposed to use the stats of what the enemy did in previous rounds to determine a course of action. If I can't do that, then yours shouldn't be able to do whatever the enemy did last round...

referring to previous rounds is OK as long as its from the same battle.

gah, I'm confused... I think I misunderstood this game a bit... oh well, can't win em all, eh? Well maybe Zombo can, cause he's Zombo.

when your bot will check the percentage of foe/friend, it will only compute for the previous rounds of this battle.

I just got back from college. I'm going to bed pretty soon since I didn't sleep last night <_<

Will finish up updating this game shortly after I have I have woken up.

All battles done. Final scores updated.

This game would work if there was a rule which said 'if your bot plays foe 10 times during one battle, you lose -10 for that battle'.

AHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH -40

argh, all foes won due to stupid friendly bots like rookee's and SA's

Lol, well at least only all foe bots beat me. :rolleyes:

I dont care that i won. i care that i proved zombo wronged. Thats greater than any prize.

This game is a failure. System sucks. Foe always wins.

You should change it so if one bot does friend, and the other does foe, the one that does friend loses 1, and the one that does foe gains 1 or something.

thats cuz ppl made crappy bots, and all foes take advantage of crappy bots :( you have to play tighter and more suspicious of all foes!

Lol, Eburt = Epic Fail.

Oh shit, Rookee's bot got wrecked like fuc.

no excuses. i proved u wrong. Take it like a man.

If you play all foe, you have no consequences, and you have the biggest reward if your opponent plays friend. If you're friend, all you can make is 1 point or -2. This game is a failure, face it zbo.

No. You're looking at it short-term.

I mean if we look strictly at one round, the opponent can play either foe or friend.

suppose the opponent plays "foe", then you should play foe too, since friend gives you -3.

suppose the opponent plays "friend", then you should foe, because it gives you 2, and friend only 1.

The problem with such thinking is that you're treating each round as an independent set. This only works on bots who never play according to previous rounds.

It's very well possible that if you play a foe, you LOSE the opportunity of having the opponent playing friend two more times in a row (for instance), and thus you actually lose points!!!

Example:

tit-for-tat vs all foe.

TFT will start with friend, which loses against the AF. FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT ROUNDS, TFT will play foe against AF. No more points are won.

AF total gain: +2.

TFT vs TFT.

both starts with friend, and continue on for 10 rounds.

TFT total gain: +10!!!

THe idea is that as long as the opopenents are "smart" bots that consider past rounds, AF will NOT win the cumulative score. It will win EVERY battle, but it will not GAIN enough points.

Unfortunately in this round, we had 2 bad robots who were hardcoded (SA and Rookee).

Take them out of the game and I guarantee the results are different. And take out the "days of the week" bot if it goes ALL FRIEND.

If you have Friend and your enemy has Foe. You lose 3 points. That's worth 3 rounds of Friend or 1 round of foe and 1 round of friend. You keep it foe, you can never lose any points, and you have the chance to get 2 points.

No matter what, all foe ALWAYS has a BETTER chance to win.

I just said that over the course of 10 rounds, playing friend will encourage the other bot (if it is smart) to play more friends, and ultimately you will win more points than all foe.

All foeing a TFT will give you 2 points for one battle. That's weak.

TFT another TFT gives you 10 points. much better.

Would anyone want to give this game another crack with the added rule
If your bot plays foe for all 10 rounds, you lose 10 points ?

Sure...
