Re: Paid Tournament Through Meta, Signups Open
Thanks for participating everyone! For the second half of the tournament we put in a couple different "baseline" bots to see how they compare to our main bot. The idea is that in addition to showing that our bot beats strong humans, we also want to show that other bots *can't* beat strong humans. Th...

Re: France vs Austria Bot Challenge
Hey folks, we really appreciate you all playing against the bot! It's giving us a lot of insight into potential issues and changes we should make.

Re: France vs Austria Bot Challenge
Awesome!! I have one question - a tactic some diplomacy players use, when the games aren't anonymous, is looking into a player's past games on the site and trying to divine some of their past tactical behavior in order to better predict that of the future.

Re: France vs Austria Bot Challenge
Thanks for the feedback! We fixed a bug in the bot that probably hurt its performance in the first couple hours it was up. I'm curious to see if it's doing better now.

Re: France vs Austria Bot Challenge
Thanks for trying it out Eden! Do you think the bot made any mistakes in the games you played?
