Incorrect. There is only one.

It means 'source of light'.

My Arimaa bot is named after her. (she can't play a full game yet, but she can look at positions and detect one move capture risks)

For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.

Need your former "losing-all-games" coach for finally winning WC2012?
Your sumo wrestler name is now Arikui (anteater, in Japanese) and I'm Rimbit the Fearless.

leo: Yes! I might play in WC if I can beat one of the top human players before it starts, but that seems unlikely.

sumo wrestler?

It's good to be back. Big kudos to the community for doing lots of cool stuff. Very exciting times.

Omar: Can I have a wiki account, plz?

Here is my start at a bots page: http://pastebin.com/gKeGdeMZ

Someone wikify it, if you feel like it.

My bot made the bot list! Awesome!

A bots page on the wiki is a good idea. Maybe you (or someone else) could add bot_Hippo too.

Omar doesn't always keep up with the forum. If you have a request like this, http://arimaa.com/arimaa/contact/ gets a faster response.

leo: How did you know that my nickname is neuroneater?

Post by leo on Dec 11^th, 2011, 12:26am

When looking at your user profile to be sure you are the Froody I remembered, I saw some "anteater" in the middle, hence "Arikui". "Neuroneater" was unknown to me though. It's scarier.
