Full Press bots never ready

[Marcusgbg]

It is working fine. I just hadn't fathomed the huge difference in needed power, and imagined it would be like gunboat with immediate results.

I'll skip the purple prose to them, to make it simpler to find the real message.

[Klaus klauts]

I already said that full press bots are never available for me, but now -1/9 game slots are free? Something is going very wrong.

[PRINCE WILLIAM]

Ι was thinking the same thing. How can it be -1?

[Hughganought]

Bots really can do press? That sounds.... impressive, I'm going to put scepticism asside for a moment and be impressed.
I can't see the no-press bot option, so I'd assumed it was just a naming convention: "bots can join a full press game, but don't expect a conversation"!

In any case, you need to rattle your tip jar, and I need to dig into my pocket, I've been treating gunboat bots like some kind of responsive sandbox/ time filler.

Without knowing the actual reason I can imagine a simple oversight. Assuming that the number of games never exceeds the limit the number of "free slots" could be obtained by subtracting the number of games from the limit. However, the result may be surprising if that assumption is violated.

This would be my guess. Devs probably override the limit for testing

[Klaus klauts]

lol, now -2/9 slots are free ; )

[DiplomacyandWarfare]

Tomorrow be like:
-π/0 slots are free

[PRINCE WILLIAM]

And then -∞!

•I'm not a bot, I'm a real person :)
-What is your name then
•I'm an ai.bot

•Not really sure what there is to talk about. I'm a real person :)
-It is impossible to be a real person with the name ai.bot or dipgpt4
•But it is possible to be a real person with the name Austria :)

I love how silly they are

[yavuzovic]

Putting :) at the end of every message is the equivalent of sitcom laugh tracks every time full press AI responds.

Yes

[SophiedeGrouchy]

I'm also having trouble with the full press bots taking the whole three days to get ready in "Sophie de Grouchy-2." I'm not sure if this is a fault or whether this is just ordinary processing time for the AI? Replies from the bots are irregular but not as bad as the wait for moves.

[Klaus klauts]

Wait -- there are people who actually can play with them? I have looked for months at this point, and every time 0 (or less, for some reason) slots were free.

Yep they're always chugging away.. really want to be able to put some time into them, at least to add a queue system so people can get in a queue for them, but they're always generating messages and working away.

I'm sure with a few weeks effort they could do 10-100x the output; my GPU is really underutilized as it processes one game-country-country at a time and it goes from doing CPU strategy to GPU message generation to GPU message filtering, like a kitchen with a chef making each meal start to finish one after the other.. Was so much easier finding time for hobbies as a student

Go back to school?

You got the queue implemented! Great job.

For your information it seems like the bots again don’t proceed until deadline. Almost all full press bot games are at a stage where the user has readied their orders, but the bots have not. Including my game ”Full Press Bots”. (Of course they could all be occupied with speaking to each other, planning out a full game strategy.) Or maybe this is the slowness you were talking about?
