Season 2, Round 5The fallout from the departure of the house's dominating force left all the remaining bots in a bit of a tizzy, not quite sure how the game would change in its absence.
ZingBOT
and
KnightBOT
seemed to be getting leery of one another.
Discord BOT
, feeling satisfied with the levels of discord, irritated some of the others with its smugness;
LOYAL BOT
wandered about in a haze with no clear bot to be loyal to, and
BOTIN8R
simply faded into the background. How would this change things?

HoH Competition #5: Skill (Endurance Tiebreak)

This challenge was one many long time viewers might find familiar. The bots had to use precision aiming to toss rings onto a large board filled with pegs, with each peg on the 7x7 board worth between 1 and 49 points. Each round, the bot managing the lowest number of points would be knocked out until only one remained.
BOTIN8R
was out of this one in a hurry, throwing its first ring as hard as it could into the wall on the left side of the enclosure for a score of zero. In round 2,
Discord BOT
's score of 16 was okay, but not good enough. The final round was a close one.
ZingBOT
set the bar high with a very solid score of 41, but this score had been beaten in past rounds.
LOYAL BOT
gave its ring a good toss at the close up 45 pole... but just failed to finesse it properly and fell onto the 8 next door, leaving
ZingBOT
to claim the title of HOH.
After some deliberation,
ZingBOT
nominated
LOYAL BOT
alongside, not surprisingly,
KnightBOT
. It was certain to let
LOYAL BOT
know that it was only being used as a pawn, and wasn't shy about letting everyone overhear.

PoV Competition #5: Speed (Logic Tiebreak)

This challenge was a fairly standard, gym-class style obstacle course featuring plenty of jumping, ducking, and weaving about cones and hurdles. The bot finishing in the shortest time would win the coveted Power of Veto.
BOTIN8R
entered the yard to do its run looking peppy, while its competitors seemed tired. Perhaps they were saving their energy?
KnightBOT
was up first, and sluggishly battered its way through the course like an inexorable tide of molasses, breaking several of the obstacles in lieu of dodging them, requiring production to bring in some replacements.
BOTIN8R
came up next, and waltzed through the course as though it had been practicing since the day it was built. After witnessing a disastrous run from
LOYAL BOT
, the final two left to go simply threw up their hands and forfeited.
BOTIN8R
had won the Veto by a landslide. At the meeting, it declared that it did not wish to use the Power of Veto.

Eviction Ceremony #5

Quickly,
BOTIN8R
and
Discord BOT
entered the Diary Room to cast their votes for eviction, while
ZingBOT
,
LOYAL BOT
, and
KnightBOT
watched. With much smiling and nodding before the reveal, it was announced that, by a vote of 2-0, ...

Spoiler: Result
KnightBOT
had been evicted.

Spoiler: DiplomatDC - KnightBOT
(Component I) Name: KnightBot

(Component II) Stats:
Endurance: 250
Skill: 250
Memory: 100
Logic/Speed/Luck: 0


(Component III) Strategy:

<Soul Searching>

Used in first round ONLY

If HoH, nominate the 2 bots with the two lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats. Lowest of those stats for renominations too

PoV: Veto self if possible
Else, don't bother

Eviction target will be the lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats
Vote the bot with the lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats

Ties broken by lowest Endurance stat then RNG

Thereafter, choose a player as an ally and follow <Loyalist> strategy

Who to choose as an ally? Firstly, in the last voting phase:

If Knightbot was nominated, eliminate all players who voted for you as an ally choice
If Knightbot was not nominated, eliminate all players who voted opposite as you as an ally choice

From the eligible targets, choose the eligible bot with the highest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats. If tied, choose the HoH as the ally, if he is eligible. If the HoH is not eligible, choose a random eligible player as an ally.

<Loyalist>
If HoH, nominate between bots who have:
a) Nominated the current ally or Knightbot before
b) Vetoed another player if the current ally or Knightbot is up for elimination, unless Knightbot AND the ally has been nominated
If more than 2 fit this criteria, nominate between them 2 bots with the two lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats
1 or less? Nominate as necessary bots with the lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats

If ally is picked by this process (which it shouldn't anyway), do not nominate him and pick other choices. Renominations also lowest of the above stats

PoV: Veto self if possible
If self isn't nominated, veto ally if possible
Else, don't bother

Eviction target will be the lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats
Vote the bot with the lowest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats, unless ally has been nominated, in which case just vote the other bloke.

Ally has been voted out? Aw damn.

Is this the Final 4 and beyond?
If yes: Enter <Lone Ranger>
If no: Search for another ally and use this criteria:
Eliminate all bots who have voted for you, or vetoed the other player when you were nominated, barring the case where said other player is your ally
Eliminate all bots who have voted your ally (unless doing so means voting for you) or vetoed the other player when he was nominated, barring the case where said other player is you, but ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF THE TIME HE HAS BEEN YOUR ALLY

Anyone left?
No? <Lone Ranger>
Yes? Pick the new ally out of the eligible players with the highest Endurance+Skill+Memory stats

<Lone Ranger>
Well.

HoH (And Final HoH): Nominate players with the highest combined Endurance+Skill+Memory stats. Ties resolved by highest Memory stat, then Endurance, then RNG Same with renominations

PoV: Veto self if possible
Else, don't bother

Eviction target/Vote: Highest Endurance+Skill+Memory. Ties resolved by highest Memory stat, then Endurance, then RNG
Jury Vote:

I'm probably going to stick with the one-installment-per-night model.

Also, I have the Season 3 bots that have been submitted; we need a couple more to fill it up!

Season 2, Round 6With the game getting down to the final four, alliances start to break down a bit as all the bots know they are largely playing for themselves and need to begin thinking about who they can beat at the end. Not to mention, many of them won't matter with one bot likely holding all the power this round...

HoH Competition #6: Memory (Skill Tiebreak)

This challenge was a simple game, and yet not so simple. Contestants were shown a series of differently colored and shaped blocks, then had to reconstruct the same pattern in the right order using representative blocks they were assigned. Things started out relatively simple, but
BOTIN8R
apparently couldn't remember a sequence of three blocks. We're a bit concerned there may be something wrong with its circuits. The other contestants looked very evenly matched for quite some time after that-- they are robots, after all, and memory is not that hard a problem-- but on the 13-block round,
LOYAL BOT
's vision was obscured by an odd shadow for a moment, resulting in its elimination. Finally, quite some time later,
ZingBOT
made a sequencing error;
Discord BOT
was going to the final 3! To celebrate, it continued playing with the sequence-giving machine and blocks for hours after the challenge ended. But with no control over who joined it, how would it fare? Knowing that final 4 nominations are a formality, it nominated
BOTIN8R
and
LOYAL BOT
.

PoV Competition #6: Luck (Speed Tiebreak)

Knowing that the final 4 veto challenge is one of the two most important challenges in the entire game, the producer bots thought up a very crafty and interesting task for our finalists. Certainly they did not wish for anything anticlimactic to occur that might not test the skills of our bots to the breaking point and truly determine which was most deserving of progressing and making a potentially game-defining decision. So, of course, they put four slips of paper into a hat. It would be extremely testing to see which bot would most easily be able to use its refined senses to determine what was written on each paper and carefully analyze it while still leaving the papers in the hat. Oh, shoot, did someone forget to equip the heat sensing super-olfactory neuron compensizers? Oh, whoops.
LOYAL BOT
was randomly selected to go first by random draw, and stepped up to make its random draw. Producing a paper, it declared, "This piece of paper is blank."
Discord BOT
was up next. Reaching into the hat, it pushed the papers around a bit before choosing one. Its piece of paper, for some reason, contained a careful sketch of a bowl of fruit. Next was
BOTIN8R
. It quickly withdrew a slip of paper, walked over to the veto necklace and put it on before bothering to look at the note, which it confidently revealed to everyone but itself before walking back into the house. Sure enough, the paper said "veto" in handwriting that would put a doctor to shame.
BOTIN8R
had won!

Eviction Ceremony #6

The other bots re-entered the house to find
BOTIN8R
already giving a speech to empty seats about why it was using the veto on itself. It finished, then continued standing as
Discord BOT
was forced to name
ZingBOT
as the replacement nominee. The Head of Household made it known with a few hand motions that it would like to see
ZingBOT
leave.
ZingBOT
and
LOYAL BOT
had eyes only for the lone voter now.

BOTIN8R
made its decision, and...slowly unveiled that...
Spoiler: it had decided to evict...
LOYAL BOT
.

Spoiler: PrivateI - LOYAL BOT
Endurance-120
Skill-120
Memory-120
Logic-120
Speed-0
Luck-120
HOH DECISIONS:
Who will be your initial nominees?

IF it is the first HoH, then the bots who have the lowest combined Endurance and Skill stats. In the event of a tie between the seventh and eighth lowest bots, the bot with the lowest Memory will be nominated. In the event of a further tie, the bot with the lowest combined Memory and Endurance stats will be nominated. In the event of a further tie, the final nomination will be randomly chosen between the two bots involved in the tie.
IF it is not the first HoH, nominate anyone who nominated Loyal Bot in the past first.
IF the two slots are not filled, nominate anyone who had the opportunity to use the veto on Loyal Bot and did not next.
If the two slots are not filled, nominate anyone who voted for Loyal bot to be evicted next. If there is a tie, nominate in reverse alphabetical order of the bots' names.
If the two slots are not filled, follow the same criteria as if it were the first HoH.

How will you use veto if you win?

If Loyal Bot is HoH, do not use the Power of Veto.

How will you determine a nominee if veto is used?

Follow same criteria as though it were the second HoH nominations.

How will you determine your eviction target?

Choose randomly amongst the two nominees. If a player is nominated after the veto, pick that player for the eviction target.

VETO DECISIONS:
How will you determine if you use the veto if you win?

Follow these criteria in order. If the veto use or non-use is not decided based on one criteria, move to the next.
If Loyal Bot is nominated, veto Loyal Bot.
If it is the Final Four, do not use the veto.
If Loyal Bot is HoH, do not use the veto.
If one, and only one, of the nominated bots has nominated Loyal Bot, veto the other bot.
If Loyal Bot has been nominated in the past, and one, and only one of the nominated bots voted for Loyal Bot at the eviction ceremony, veto the other bot.
If Loyal Bot has won HoH in the past, and has nominated one, and only one, of the nominated bots, veto the other bot.
If both bots have nominated Loyal Bot in the past, do not use the veto.
Of the two bots, whichever has voted with Loyal Bot ("voting with" here means voting for the same person as Loyal Bot, or voting to save Loyal Bot in an eviction ceremony) the most consecutive times, beginning from the vote immediately previous and moving backwards, veto that bot. If this results in a tie, use the power of veto on the player with the highest skill stat. If both bots did not vote with Loyal Bot in the most recent eviction, do not use the veto.

VOTING DECISIONS:
How will your bot determine your vote?

If Loyal Bot was not nominated, won the Veto, and used it on a nominee, vote with that individual.
If it is the Final Four, vote for the player with the highest endurance stat. In the event of a tie, randomize the vote.
Otherwise, vote with the player above Loyal Bot in the playerlist.

If the bot who Loyal Bot is voting with has delegated his vote to LoyalBot, vote instead for the bot with the highest X stat, where X is the primary stat which determines the winner of the next HoH competition.
If this results in a tie, vote for the bot with the highest X stat, where X is the stat which determined the winner of the most recent HoH competition. If this results in a tie, vote for the bot with the highest Y value, where Y is the sum of X and Z, where X is the stat that determines the winner of the next HoH competition, and Z is the stat which determines the winner of the HoH competition two competitions from now. If this either results in a tie, or there is not an HoH competition two competitions from now, vote against the bot who is not the eviction target. If the current HoH has never voted against LoyalBot, AND has never nominated LoyalBot, AND has never voted against the eviction target when LoyalBot was the HoH, AND is kind of cute, vote instead for the eviction target.

How will your bot determine who it will vote to win the game if it is on the jury?

I probably at least owe this closure.

Final HOH Part 1: Discord Bot wins
Part 2: BOTIN8R wins
Part 3: BOTIN8R wins

BOTIN8R votes out Discord Bot

Finale: BOTIN8R defeats Zingbot 5-2

So yeah.
