| Dec 22, 2018 at 17:10 | comment | added | maxb | Had I anticipated an answer like this, I would have changed the games that go to 200 rounds so that they don't give scores to players. However, as you note, there is a rule about creating identical bots which would make this strategy be against the rules. I'm not going to change the rules, as it would be unfair to everyone who has made a bot. However, the concept of cooperation is very interesting, And I hope that there are other bots submitted which implement the cooperation strategy in combination with its own unique strategy. | |

| Dec 22, 2018 at 16:37 | comment | added | maxb | Wow. And welcome to PPCG. This is quite the first answer. I wasn't really planning on a situation like this. You certainly found a loophole in the rules. I'm not really sure how I should score this, since your answer is a collection of bots rather than a single bot. However, the only thing I'll say right now is that it feels unfair that one participant would control 98.7% of all bots. | |
