webdiplomacy.net

Hello,

I have just found this article on the internet.

The author claims his agent (bot) achieves a rank of 23 / 1128 human players on webdiplomacy.net, ie here.

Is he talking about "our" bots ? Or did he try an improved version ?
I don't remember a challenge took place with them. If not, a hum vs 6 bots is not the same as a bot among numeours humans...

Some researchers worked with us to develop a bot of their own, and after it had played a number of games against humans we tabulated their bot's Ghost Ratings. It ranked 23rd in the gunboat ratings. It would rank lower if inactive players were included, but at the time we chose not to include inactive players because the ratings typically did not include inactive players back then. Even so, it was a very impressive development.

Thank you!

Could you point to the games played with the bot ?
How was it named ?

This is cool! When was this?

Also:

n anonymous games against humans

Clearly, they don't know if the games were against humans or not, since neither do we.

Up.

Could you give us the name of that bot on Webdiplomacy so that we can find the link to the games it played ?

All the clues you need to find this out are in the paper.

I'll give you another, though- it only posts "GG" or "GG!" after the game. It doesn't always post this, and I suspect it might have been manual (at least on some games).

fairplay ?
