Well, I have internet for the first time in over two years, so I'm playing TradeWars again.

My first night didn't go to bad, I only Photoned myself twice :/

I have internet, but I have not played for months.

From what I hear, you guys don't play either. Your bots do :P

Well... someone's gotta turn the bot on!

I'm a bot Master in training, so yeah I'm playing and bossing others around, just like always. LOL

Yes, someone has to turn the bot on, and someone has to tell the bot what to do :)

I think I liked it best back in 1989 when only one player was in the game at a time.

I understood the hating on bots... before I actually used one.

Bots =/ magic.

Someone has to tell the bot what to do all the time, it doesn't decide anything or run on auto. It's just a faster and easier way to access and run the scripts you need to play the game efficiently.

The bot hate is pretty much just hating on the difference between one-keystroke scripts and having to click 3 or 4 times to pull it up.

Unless you have someone talented enough that writes team bot scripts... now there's magic!

But yeah telling all the bots what to do takes a lot of focus and concentration so you don't kill someone.

The level of scripting currently accepted by the community is crazy... but that is an entirely different ball of worms...

Bots are basically a legalized way of running dupes... If I can get 4 of my friends or newbs to fire up bots, then I can run a whole corp all by myself...

That is quite an oversimplification. 'basically legalized duping'
I'd put some cash down on a player corp vs a bot corp. Any
corp worth their stuff would mangle a single player trying to
run a corp by bot. You can't really believe this?

And the other:

What choice does the community have? It's a text game. It is
already being routed through a comm or gui 'helper' of some
kind. Even the anti-automagic types use some kind of
helper with player side scripting vs. macros at the minimum.

Scripts have kept this game alive. I'll defend them to the end.
