Title: Bot Exchange! Seriously
Post by: andrewm0304 on August 27, 2008, 11:41:46 PM
Check this out, the old bot exchange!

http://www.atari.com/exchange/ra/list?items=20&order=desc&sort=rating

:O I can't play right now, but somebody should try to upload a bot and see if it works.

goose finds fun in messing with accounts. im not going to use mean words, but many things would go better for you if you were to settle down, and work on the robot building part of this game. thats where most of the respect factor comes from. to start, dont have more than 1 or 2 exclamation/question marks in a row. it makes you look stupid. dont use chat language like 'ava' 'wtf' or 'lol'. thats whould work in your favor.

Hydro, I myself rightly re-labeled your aptitude to "NoobWeight".
For I already told you:
No DPs.
No stupid posts.
And add some 'content' to your posts (like about bot building and tweaking...).
 
Goose added the cool pic... (for the same reasons).
----------------
Back on topic:
There are allot of cool bots in this exchange, but most were built before building techniques greatly improved.  Still many good ideas...

wait... admins can change people "post ranks" (lightweight, Middleweight, ect.) whenever they want to ?

They can do much more than that....

Urj, it is done for punitive purposes only.  I think it was ACAMS who once demoted someone from HW to LW,... and rightfully so, IMHO.

Would bookmarking this exchange work, or will the URL changes mess it up?

Just out of curiosity, what did that person do?

Just disruptive, impulsive, and obstinant about stopping the games. There was no intrinsic self-control, so he had to put a leash on the dog....

I've taken probably over 50 cool and/or unique bots from that exchange.
But as Goose noted, there are many, many more...
