I didn't really, I just came in this thread (and only ever wnated) to vent about bots ruining my epic mafia enjoyment, but I guess it's a debate instead.

also, it's 5am, we're hosting the 5am setup, surprisingly it's filling and we're playing games despite this

it's kinda hard to ignore when every game thats open is one created by a bot or has a bot in it


jink hosts games exclusively, it does not join games as bots should not join games. it's not hard to ignore, all you have to do is join another game or make your own instead of being a leech on the site

seems to be what you want out of this, people not having a choice


Yep, that's correct. I want to play mafia not stupid trivia bot. And stupid trivia bot is keeping players from playing mafia.

Not really sure why you want to defend bots this much instead of letting people have a vent thread against them.


not really sure why you want to attack bots this much instead of just letting people do what they want

see the hypocrisy

The 8 that don't want to play with bots will just leave and do something else.


well that's not the case but if people DID join a different game because they WANTED to, are you telling them that they don't have that right? you want to take away their free will, right? seems to be what you want out of this, people not having a choice[/quote]Yep, that's correct.

arianagrande shut up you're irrelevant to the discussion

a separate lobby would just mean you have fewer players in one lobby able to see and join games

Basically, if we have 16 people in Sandbox and half want to not play with bots and half do want to play with bots. Instead of playing 12 player games. You have 2 games with 8 people and nobody playing anything. So why bother?

ok then don't join their games

what are you stupid just click another game or make your own
over 7 years
Because people (and myself probably) are just going to be leaving EM and not playing sandbox at all instead.
over 7 years
honestly i don't want a play a game with these bots

i don't care about their "quirky" features

chris hosted a 6p setup, it already filled and ended

i think the problem is you don't know which setup to host and when. right now is when everybody is asleep, this is the time that has always required small games and you hosted a 12p game. you are dumb

Agreed, bots are driving real players away and should be removed from the site.

Sandbox has had fewer active players the last few days with bots then it normally would be.


1. no it hasn't

2. if it had, the bot isn't doing it, you are. it's not joining your games, why would it affect you other than you not having a monopoly on games
