For the record, MB53's chatbot is a better center than MB53. It has a 100% winning record against me :P

There's no way to prove that they are bots and not humans that are just afk the entire match.

It's not like there's not and easy way to beat it. Just hole his defense... Its not like he can attack or you need a defense.

It is a waste of time for the team that should have a bye to the next round.

And you really think 5 people are going to join a ladle server and go afk?

Proof: IP's. omg. chase solved.

Technically, it's not even against the official rules. It's just in bad taste. :)

I, personally, would tolerate this team for the same reason I tolerate magglass1's hacked client: it's beatable. But I'm not the entire community. And besides, how would you all feel if you were joining a competition for a chance to play against the toughest of the toughest, only to find your first round is against a bunch of bots, something you can face in single player mode?

That being said, if RoadRunnerZ wants to face off a bot team in their first round, or they don't care either way, then so be it. It's not this ladle that I'm worried about so much as ladles in general.

Exactly my thoughts.

Don't underestimate the chat bots though. Whatever, Cody's won't be as good as yours, INW :)

So people from the same IP aren't allowed to play in a ladle (radian and viper come to mind)

False. I can play with my brother in the other room.

I think they changed the setting when I brought it up. The same enemies ip setting was at default 0 and should always be set to 1 for the ladle.

And ya, liz took that video off youtube for some reason :(

Cody's team, as presently constituted, is not better than a team full of real players.
Therefore, no other teams are injured by Cody's actions.

it'll take ten minutes.

and, that's a bad argument, because if he found players, no one would complain, and it would take at least as much time.

it's a good argument if for whatever reason multiple players decided to do this and then started wasting time for multiple teams

If I were Cody, I'd generate all this hype about my team being a bunch of bots, then show up with some actual players and do damage. That'd be much fun :)
