Full press bots dead?

#1 Post by gjdip » Fri Feb 14, 2025 9:25 pm

There's a banner at the top of the site indicating that some of the bots will be offline through Feb 11. Now, it's Feb 14 and I'm getting no love from the full press bots even if it's Valentine's day and all. Can a mod check?

For ages, I wanted to try out the full press bots, since I was curious how good a (talking) AI would be. So over the last months I repeatedly looked if any full press bots were available, and they never were. Therefore, I started to wonder: Do these bots even exist?

(Obviously they are down now, but before that they were not reachable too)

Yep apologies I've been moving house. I naively thought it would take two days.. Not quite..

I've got internet now, we're powering up, the bots are going to be up and chatting soon.

Trust me they exist :| If you've been trying and unable to get a spot for that long we clearly need to do something about doling out bot time more fairly, it's first come first serve at the moment which probably isn't very fair. I'll have a think about how to spread it out, because the bots are pretty crazy and the amount of work that went into getting them going is pretty crazy.

The bots apologising for missing a few turns, hallucinating some excuses as obviously they don't know they've just moved house.

Wish I was more realistic about how long it would take, I would've put the games on pause.. but webDip hasn't been top of the priority list over the last few days to be brutally honest.

Actually they just calculate that it is optimal press. :razz:
