One obvious difference is that the bot has zero turns left, wheras Bison shows 265 turns left. Actual bots always have zero zero on turns. I just looked up Silly Shady, who was deleted, and who I had identified as a bot, mistakenly. Silly Shady is showing turns left and stored in the spyop.

Bots usually have a lot more cash, but not always

so you didn't know about 3 sets ago when bots stopped playing turns eh?
and i disagree that bots usually have a lot more cash. at what point in the set? which strat bots?
tough generalization there.

if your whole post is how to identify a bot, then whenever i have 1 b cash on hand i should just sell off spies, play down turns, and based on your thread - i'll be identified as a bot, right?

You are probably right about the cash Vic, I'm just figuring it out. After all, I doubletapped a fake bot and so did you and Ebert.

Both of the fake bots had turns showing. Real bots never do. So we all fluffed up because if we had known that, we wouldn't have hit the fake bots.

So that is useful information for everyone. Until they get reprogrammed.

I feel for you on that as I've done that several times trying to pick up <$100 barrels. It gets cheap at the end lol.

Could the game be modified to declare the length of time you want your standing order to be in effect?

Attacking is complicated; it will come, eventually, but that'll be a while.

This thread is good!

I need to make them have spies, and not use *alll* their turns...

Finally did the signature thing.

First I was accused of being some sort of ass-eating vampire thing by earf.
Then a multi by ebert.
Now being told to shutup by Getafix.

This next set is going to be fun.

None taken. *alleged* assvamp habits!

I've been called a lot of things, but that one takes the cake.

Do you want me to create a message from you showing how easy it is to create a fake one too?

quoting before he deletes it, Kingme is openly talking about faking a message from me. Anything he posts from me will be FAKE, he admits it,

Why would I delete anything, i'm not hiding anything.

I've been around a hell of a lot longer than you, or at least this current re-imagination of yourself.
People already know what i'm about, nothing to prove.

Nonsense, Vic! Clearly he was rebuking bstrong for his heavy-handed censorship of my original post, and telling you to STFU. I'm sure he's not alone in that sentiment.

But maybe my post was flawed since now we'll never know which country is a bot until we watch it hit someone 150 times :(
