Title: Bot Interface and Disconnects
Post by jdb on Dec 18^th, 2004, 9:35am

In the game Clueless vs Bomb on Dec 18th, clueless disconnected on move 5w. (This was due to someone picking up the telephone and was no fault of the interface) Before the disconnect clueless had 437 seconds in reserve. After reconnecting, the interface asked clueless to resend move 5w, again with 437 seconds in reserve. On move 6w clueless only had 253 seconds in reserve. I think the reserve time on move 6w is correct. However, on the second request for move 5w, I'm not sure.

Is this the expected result, or should something else have occurred?

That's what happens for me too. I figure it is normal but non-optimal. Hopefully bots won't ever disconnect in real games, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
