Bot Rules

[Dr Brain]

Attention all bot owners, primarily casino bot owners.

 

You may not PM entering players. Ever.

Advertisements are also disallowed.

 

It's just plain annoying.

Bots that do not comply with this after 24 hours (March 3, 4:00PM EST) will be banned and have their names put on a block list (meaning no access to money). If you don't posses the technical skill to stop them, I suggest you remove them permanently from the zone.

i would just close this topic, then pin it...

then after you do that... delete this post...

[Dr Brain]

I always value people's input. That's why I only rarely close topics.

You're allowed to use bots?

[Dr Brain]

Yes, chatnet based bots. All of the casino bots in hyperspace are player run.

Are we allowed to run ANY kind of bot? I would like someone to put an AI bot in hs, so I can check in every morning or whenever nobody is on and have a fight.

We don't have any codified bot rules, but I would consider these common sense:

 

- Bot may not do anything a player may not do (including spam, exploit glitches, fraud players, hack, tk, etc)

- Running a bot is subject to the same rules as multiclieting. If its illegal for you to multiclient and give each other free kills, you also may not use a bot for that purpose

- Must release source code and/or any other piece of info to a mod on request (at least to a senior mod/sysop)

- If running casino bot, yes, you may keep a profit and we do that, however the game odds must be available for players to see and must be truthful. If any game uses different rules and/or odds than the same-named game in a real casino, you must do!@#$%^&*ent that for everyone to see.

- If a bot does not break rules, does not disrupt gameplay, does not defraud players, does not give botrunner an unfair gameplay advantage, and in short doesn't cause problems to anyone else, then yes you may run it.

Well there is no way to tell if they screwed up th odds so bettered can figure it out... the bot owner could just say that person had bad luck

Unless the mods have a "special" way to check if odds are right

I think you're operating on the false !@#$%^&*umption that we allow non-chat bots. We don't. That means none of this applies.
