Title: bot suicide?
Post by ginrunner on Nov 30^th, 2010, 1:08am

I play terrible in 15s games so please ignore some of my bad play (unless you feel like giving a pointer :-P) but I noticed that once the game mine with no doubts I was planning on celebrating by goaling with 4 rabbits until I noticed something kinda nifty. The bot more or less started committing suicide. You will count it losing 5 of its own rabbits on purpose in the end of which 3 of the suicides were purely for self destructive purposes.

52s onward were the suicides that sparked my interest.

382-40g were the start of the negative spiral of the bot consciousness.

Was it programed to kill itself if it knew it was done for?
