[botmeister]

I have a great adsl connection, but I kept on using bots for two reasons:

Training and fun

The game play between humans is very diffrent than humans against bots. Even if the bots simulated human play perfectly, the game would still be different because we know they are bots and we know they are not cheating (more or less) and they'll always be there, round after round.

I think people will always have a use for bots. The better we make em, the more use they'll get.
