Big Brother Bots (S2R6 - We're back!)

[JDGA]

So Blackberry went completely AWOL and appears to no longer have any interest in actually running this. I know quite a few people think this is such a sorrow, so I'm taking this over. SO: I'll accept the first nine bots to be sent to me for the first trial season. If we get significantly more than nine, we can do a second trial season as well. If you would like to submit a bot, read through the rules of the game below and PM it to me~ (And if you have any suggestions for twists/rule changes/whatever for use in future seasons, feel free to post them in-thread for discussion)

Spoiler: Rules

[THE BASICS]

The game is quite simple, anyone that wishes to participate may send in a bot to partake in the BBBots game. For the first season, the first nine bots to be sent to me will be accepted. The bots will partake in 6 HOHs, 6 VETOs, and 1 Final HOH Competition.

Head Of Household (HOH):

The winner of HOH will nominate 2 bots for eviction. No bot may be HOH in back-to-back rounds, with the exception of the Final HOH winner.

Veto:

The winner of Veto can decide to Veto one of the nominees, or leave the nominations the same. If a bot if veto’d, the HOH must name a new nominee. The Veto Winner may not be nominated.

Eviction Target:

The HOH will determine which of the final two nominees he or she would like to declare the eviction target. Please note, when there are three bots remaining, if the bot does not specify how it votes at the final three, then the bot will vote who it specifies would be its eviction target.

Eviction Ceremony:

Each bot (except the two nominees and the reigning HOH) will vote for one of the two nominated bots to be evicted. If there is a tie, the HOH will cast the tiebreaking vote for his/her Eviction Target.

Final Two:

When only two bots remain, the seven bots voted out will form the Jury and each cast a vote for which bot they believe should win the game.

[BUILDING YOUR BOTS]

Submit your completed BBBot to JDGA via PM. Each bot must have three components to it...

(Component I) Name:

Should be simple enough. Give your bot a name!

(Component II) Stats:

Each bot has up to 600 stat points to divide among three stats; Endurance, Skill, Memory, Logic, Speed, Luck. The first three stats (Endurance, Skill, Memory) will determine the HOH winners. The last three stats (Logic, Speed, Luck) will determine the VETO winners. All stats will play a role in the Final HOH Competition. Select the stats of your bot wisely, as they may not only be used for determining who will win challenges, other bots may use your stats as a factor when they select who they are voting for. You are not required to use all 600 stat points. You are allowed to give 0 points to one stat field.

(Component III) Strategy:

Each bot must come with a program that dictates what it will do at every decision point. Decision points are listed below to help you create your bot. You can develop an extremely simple program, or a more complicated program. Although you may make a program as complex as you'd like, it must still be able to be understood and have on clear action. Your bot has access to a lot of data to determine its vote (the list of

Available Data

is listed below). It is up to you to decide how to program your bot to best ensure its survival.

HOH DECISIONS:
Who will be your initial nominees?
How will you determine a nominee if veto is used?
How will you determine your eviction target?

VETO DECISIONS:
How will you determine if you use the veto if you win?
Who will you use your veto on if you choose to use it?
*Please note, if Veto is used at Final Four, the only player who wasn't nominated becomes nominated, regardless of if they won the Veto.

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

[HOH & VETO Competitions]

The bots will participate in 6 HOHs, 6 VETOs and 1 Final HOH Competition. The bot's

STATS

will determine which bot will win the HOHs and Veto for that round. The stats you select for your bot will be of vital importance when determining which bot will win the competitions. To better assist you in programming your bot's stats, as well as to assist you in formulating your strategy, you will be told of all of the challenges in advance.

HoH Competitions:

(1) indicates that the bot with the highest of this stat will win the competition. If there is a tied, the tied bot with the highest (2) stat will win. If there is still a tie, a winner will be chosen at random between the tied bots. Please note, the previous HOH will not compete in the current HOH. However, the winner of HoH#6 still gets to compete in the Final HOH.

HoH #1

: (1) Endurance (2) Skill

HoH #2

: (1) Skill (2) Memory

HoH #3

: (1) Memory (2) Endurance

HoH #4

: (1) Endurance (2) Memory

HoH #5

: (1) Skill (2) Endurance

HoH #6

: (1) Memory (2) Skill

PoV Competitions:

(1) indicates that the bot with the highest of this stat will win the competition. If there is a tied, the tied bot with the highest (2) stat will win. If there is still a tie, a winner will be chosen at random between the tied bots.

Veto #1

: (1) Logic (2) Speed

Veto #2

: (1) Speed (2) Luck

Veto #3

: (1) Luck (2) Logic

Veto #4

: (1) Logic (2) Luck

Veto #5

: (1) Speed (2) Logic

Veto #6

: (1) Luck (2) Speed

Final HOH Competition

The final competition will take place in 3 phases. The winner of Phase I automatically advances to Phase III. The losers of Phase I will compete in Phase II with the winner of Phase II advancing to Phase III. The winner of Phase III will cast the sole vote in the final eviction of the game. (1) indicates that the bot with the highest sum of the two stats will win the competition. If there is a tie, the tied bot with the highest sum of the (2) stats will win. If there is still a tie, a winner will be chosen at random between the tied bots.

Final HoH Phase I

: (1) Endurance+Logic (2) Skill+Speed

Final HoH Phase II

: (1) Skill+Speed (2) Memory+Luck

Final HoH Phase III

: (1) Memory+Luck (2) Endurance+Logic

[EVICTION CEREMONIES]

At each Eviction Ceremony, each bot (except the two nominees and the reinging HOH) must cast a vote for one of the nominated bots. The bot with the most votes will be evicted from the game!

If there is a tie, the HOH will cast the tiebreaking vote, and vote for his/her indicated Eviction Target.

[AVAILABLE DATA]

The bots have access to a lot of basic information, including:

• The exact ENDURANCE, SKILL, and MEMORY stat of each bot


• For the jury vote only, the exact LOGIC, SPEED, and LUCK stat of each bot


• Which bot has WON each HOH and VETO Challenge


• Who the HoH nominated and who the PoV vetoed


• What criteria each challenge will be based off of


• HOW MANY votes each bot receives at each Eviction Ceremony


• The NAME of each bot


• WHO VOTED for who in past Eviction Ceremonies


• Who the Eviction Target was, and which bots voted for or opposite of the Eviction Target

Please note that you do not have

direct

access to each bot’s Logic, Speed, or Luck stat, except at the jury vote. You may use randomness at a decision criteria, but you may NOT use randomness for your jury vote. If you have any questions whether a criteria you've come up with is valid or not, please ask.

So I have 13 bots right now. I'll just take the first nine and get Season 1 running, and the others can go into a second trial season which will start immediately if I get another five bots (you can submit a second bot if you'd like), otherwise I'll make up some dummy bots to fill the gaps.

But to begin Season 1, introducing the nine housebots who will be spending some quality time together~

and $1 000 000 in

totally not

fake play money!

[JDGA]

Season 1, Round 1

So our nine bots settled down in the Big Brother house and got to know each other. But the peace was to be short-lived, for soon it became time for the first HoH competition!

HoH Competition #1: Endurance (Skill Tiebreak)

Balance beams were set up in the gymnasium, and the bots had to balance on them for as long as possible. As it turned out,

BBBBB

had never touched a balance beam in its life, and soon failed accordingly.

MonikaBOT v2.0

suffered a similar fate after just a few minutes. Half an hour in,

SeanBOT

and

Cancer Karkat

got bored and tried playing Rock Paper Scissors to pass the time, which didn't end well for either of them.

AlphaBOT

found their mishap too funny and couldn't stop laughing, and soon fell off itself. An hour in, this left

FloaterBOT

,

Graves BOT

,

Night Snow

, and

OddBOT

. In order to save time, at this point the challenge was changed up to become a race to cross the balance beam ten times. The results were absolutely neck-and-neck between

FloaterBOT

and

Night Snow

, but in the end it was

Night Snow

who proved to be victorious and became the first Head of Household! It thought for a moment, then quickly nominated

MonikaBOT v2.0

and

BBBBB

for their pitiful performances in the challenge.
Whispers started floating around the house of the bots' plans in the face of this result, but it didn't take long for all attention to be drawn towards the PoV competition.

PoV Competition #1: Logic (Speed Tiebreak)

A stack of ten cross-grid logic puzzles were created and handed to each bot. The one who got the most correct in the fastest time would win. The bots set off to do their puzzles. Once everyone had submitted, the results were in!

AlphaBOT

and

BBBBB

scored 0. Whoops.

MonikaBot v2.0

did slightly better with 1, so at least it tried.

Night Snow

scored 5, while

OddBOT

managed 6. Both

FloaterBOT

and

Graves BOT

achieved a score of 7.

Cancer Karkat

got 9 puzzles correct, but that wasn't enough to win as

SeanBOT

took the challenge with a perfect score of 10!
More whispers floated around the house, and when the PoV Ceremony rolled around

SeanBOT

decided to use the veto on

BBBBB

.

Night Snow

took its time deciding on a replacement nominee, but eventually picked

Cancer Karkat

to replace

BBBBB

.
Naturally, the whispers continued. Perhaps alliances were being formed between bots? In any case, it became clear that

Night Snow

wanted

MonikaBOT v2.0

out of the game. Would things go down as planned? Find out, at the...

Eviction Ceremony #1

One by one,

AlphaBOT

,

FloaterBOT

,

Graves BOT

,

BBBBB

,

SeanBOT

, and

OddBOT

went into the soundproof booth to decide who to vote for eviction, while

MonikaBOT v2.0

,

Cancer Karkat

, and

Night Snow

watched nervously. Eventually the process was completed and it was announced that, by a vote of 4-2,

Cancer Karkat

...

has been eliminated.

HoH Protocol:
ABOUT FUCKING TIME THIS HOUSE PICKS A COMPETENT PERSON TO LEAD. INITIATE THE FOLLOWING AWESOME SET OF OPTIONS:
-Option 1) if CANCER KARKAT HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR EVICTION and THE PLAYER WHO NOMINATED HIM IS ELIGIBLE FOR EVICTION, then set *BURN MOTHERFUCKER* equal to TRUE. Otherwise MOVE TO OPTION 2
-Option 2) if CANCER KARKAT HAS NOT BEEN NOMINATED FOR EVICTION or ALL PLAYERS WHO NOMINATED HIM ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR EVICTION, set *I CAN DO A BETTER JOB* equal to TRUE.
-Option 3) if OPTION 1 and OPTION 2 have BOTH BEEN FULFILLED and CANCER KARKAT STILL NEEDS TO NOMINATED 1 OR MORE PEOPLE FOR EVICTION, then set *WHAT THE FUCK?* equal to TRUE.

*BURN MOTHERFUCKER* NOMINATE THE TWO MOST RECENT PEOPLE WHO NOMINATED YOU FOR EVICTION. IF ONLY ONE MOTHERFUCKER IS LEFT THAT NOMINATED YOU, SET *I CAN DO A BETTER JOB* EQUAL TO TRUE.

*I CAN DO A BETTER JOB* WHAT IS THIS EVEN? NOMINATE THE PREVIOUS HEADS OF HOUSEHOLD IN REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER UNTIL YOU HAVE ENOUGH. IF SOMEHOW THERE AREN’T SUFFICIENT OPTIONS BETWEEN OPTIONS 1 AND 2, GET YOUR PATHETIC GAME TOGETHER AND SET *WHAT THE FUCK* EQUAL TO TRUE.

*WHAT THE FUCK?* EVIDENTLY THERE JUST ISN’T ENOUGH TO GO ON FOR THIS GAME. PRETEND TO HAVE A BETTER PLAN THAN YOU DO WHILE NOMINATING BOTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER UNTIL YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT NOMINEES. NO ONE WILL BE THE WISER.

Eviction Target:
NOW THAT YOU HAVE TWO NOMINEES, YOU’RE READY TO PICK ONE AS THE GODDAMN TARGET ALREADY. PICK THE BOT THAT HAS WON THE MOST COMBINED HOH AND VETO COMPETITIONS. IF THERE IS A TIE, PICK THE BOT WITH THE HIGHEST AVAILABLE STAT TOTAL. IF THERE IS A TIE, SWEAR LOUDLY AND PICK THE ONE WITH THE LONGER NAME. IF THERE IS A TIE, RANDOMLY PICK ONE WHILE SWEARING YOU HAVE A STRATEGY.

Renomination:
ARE YOU STUPID? ARGH HOW COULD YOU LET YOUR TARGET GET AWAY LIKE THAT? THIS IS SO TYPICAL. WHATEVER. YOU NEED A NEW TARGET RIGHT? TIME TO HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS.
-if YOU USED THE VETO, then SKIP ALL THESE OPTIONS AND GO TO “Veto:” otherwise GO TO OPTION 1
-Option 1) if ANY OF THE BOTS AVAILABLE FOR NOMINATION VETOED A PREVIOUS NOMINATION OF YOURS, then set *IRONIC TWIST, BITCH* equal to TRUE. otherwise GO TO OPTION 2.
-Option 2) if ANY BOTS ELIGIBLE FOR NOMINATION NOMINATED YOU IN THE PAST, then set *BURN MOTHERFUCKER 2.0* equal to TRUE. otherwise GO TO OPTION 3.
-Option 3) if ANY BOTS ELIGIBLE FOR NOMINATION HAVE BEEN HOH, then set *I CAN DO A BETTER JOB 2.0* equal to TRUE. otherwise GO TO OPTION 4.
-Option 4) if OPTIONS 1, 2, AND 3 HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE A NOMINATION, then set *WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?* equal to TRUE.

*IRONIC TWIST, BITCH* HAHAHAHA THAT DUMBFUCK TRIED TO FUCK UP YOUR PLANS. NOT TRUE. YOU REMEMBER. NOMINATE THE BOT WHO MOST RECENTLY VETOED ONE OF YOUR NOMINATIONS.

*BURN MOTHERFUCKER 2.0* NOMINATE THE MOST RECENT BOT WHO NOMINATED YOU FOR EVICTION.

*I CAN DO A BETTER JOB 2.0* WHAT IS THIS EVEN? NOMINATE THE MOST RECENT HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD.

*WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?* EVIDENTLY THERE JUST ISN’T ENOUGH TO GO ON FOR THIS GAME. PRETEND TO HAVE A BETTER PLAN WHILE NOMINATING THE BOT WITH THE LAST NAME ALPHABETICALLY. NO ONE WILL BE THE WISER DAMNIT.

Veto:
WHAT THE FUCK? YOU DID IT? YOU WON VETO? WELL LA DEE FUCKING DAH. DO YOU WANT A COOKIE? GOD DAMN IT JUST FIGURE OUT IF YOU’RE GOING TO USE IT.
-IF ON THE BLOCK, USE IT ON YOURSELF. THIS OVERRIDES ALL OTHER PROTOCOLS.
-IF AT FINAL FOUR, DO NOT USE IT
-if YOU ARE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, then set *I’M CONFUSED* to TRUE
-IF NONE OF THE PREVIOUS STATEMENTS RESULT IN A DECISION, SLAP YOURSELF. DUMBFUCK IT’S NOT THAT HARD. THEN VETO THE PLAYER WHO HAS RECEIVED THE MOST TOTAL VOTES THIS GAME. THAT WILL STIR UP SOME NICE DRAMA.
-HOW THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE THE SAME TOTAL VOTES? YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET I SAID ANYTHING. JUST SIT TIGHT ON YOUR POV AND WAIT FOR THE VOTES TO COME IN. IT'S NOT LIKE THIS EVEN FUCKING MATTERS

*I’M CONFUSED* WELL YOU GOT VETO AND HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. YOU’RE A MOTHERFUCKING BADASS. GREAT WORK. NOW TIME TO DECIDE
-if A BOT NOT ON THE BLOCK HAS RECEIVED MORE VOTES THAN EITHER OF YOUR NOMINEES, then set *BACKDOOR MOTHERFUCKER* equal to TRUE. OTHERWISE DON’T USE YOUR VETO

*BACKDOOR MOTHERFUCKER* VETO YOUR CURRENT EVICTION TARGET AND REPLACE HIM WITH THE PLAYER WHO HAS RECEIVED THE MOST VOTES IN A SINGLE EVICTION CEREMONY. IF THERE’S A TIE, CHOOSE THE PLAYER WHO MOST RECENTLY WAS ON THE BLOCK. THEN MAKE THIS NOMINATION YOUR NEW EVICTION TARGET. BLINDSIDE.

Voting Protocol:
TIME TO VOTE THIS BITCH. YOU HAVE GOT THIS.
-Option 1) IF ONE OF THE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN ON THE BLOCK BEFORE, VOTE THEM. IF THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN ON THE BLOCK, GO TO OPTION 2.
-Option 2) VOTE FOR THE BOT WITH THE HIGHEST COMBINED ENDURANCE, SKILL, AND MEMORY. IF THERE IS A TIE, GO TO OPTION 3.
-Option 3) VOTE THE CURRENT EVICTION TARGET. PRETEND YOU’RE THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD’S FRIEND.

Jury Vote Protocol:

Eight bots remain. Who will be evicted next? Find out tomorrow~

Game Log and Voting Table are now in the OP (you can check the voting table to see how each bot voted).

Season 1, Round 2

After the shocking backdoor of

Cancer Karkat

, the bots begin preparing themselves for a game that is apparently more intense than they thought at first glance. However, it's still only the second round, so not much can really be said before a new HoH is declared. Speaking of which...

HoH Competition #2: Skill (Memory Tiebreak)

This challenge is that of alphabet recital. The winner is the first one to recite the alphabet forwards, then backwards, then answer a series of mathematical questions with the numbers replaced by le-oh wait, it doesn't matter,

AlphaBOT

already won. In related news, Big Brother would like to assure you that all challenges are designed prior to casting and that any apparent bias in challenges towards or against a particular contestant is merely coindicental. In any case, to celebrate,

AlphaBOT

recited the alphabet backwards again, stopping on S to nominate

SeanBOT

and N to nominate

Night Snow

.
WHISPERS OOOO WHO WILL BE EVICTED OOOO POV TIME OOOO

PoV Competition #2: Speed (Luck Tiebreak)

Because it's winter down here, we figured the next challenge would mean FUN IN THE SNOW. Oh, did we mention the Big Brother house is on top of a mountain? Yeah, we're cool like that. (After all, we can't have any bots escaping, can we?~) So the actual challenge this time is a biathlon. 50% skiing around as quickly as possible, and 50% knife throwing (We didn't feel much like actual shooting so we went with the next best thing). Though as it turns out, most of the bots had no experience throwing knives. Maybe we should have thought about that. Oh well~ So everyone skiied around a bit, then threw knives at the targets, then skiied around a bit more, then threw more knives, then we called the challenge early because

BBBBB

was the only bot actually hitting anything and everyone else had accumulated a mountain of penalty time. Wait, you're saying we should have thought about that more since Backstabbing is literally its middle name? Big Brother would like to remind you again that these challenges really aren't biased we swear please don't pull us off air please please please please

*ahem*

Anyways. After

SeanBOT

vetoed

BBBBB

last round, most bots assumed that

BBBBB

would repay the favour, and whispers were had regarding who the replacement nominee would be. Well, as it turns out,

BBBBB

is a brat. A brat who decided not to veto anyone. Who could have seen that one coming? So the original nominations of

SeanBOT

and

Night Snow

stood.
As the bots prepared for the eviction ceremony, unsurprisingly there were plenty more whispers all over the house. The running theme seemed to be that

AlphaBOT

really wanted to see

SeanBOT

gone. Something about his name being an affront to the bot race, or something like that? Who knew the bots we cast could be so horrible as to discriminate on something as simple as your name? But would events actually transpire as our HoH planned? Find out, at the...

[JDGA]

(It's worth noting that we're currently at 7/9 bots in the queue for Season 2 - Even if you've already got a bot in Season 1, you can write a new bot for inclusion in Season 2. I wouldn't mind getting the queue filled sooner rather than later, and once it does fill I'll run both seasons concurrently)

[JDGA]

Season 1, Round 3

After the eviction ceremony, all the talk in the house is about

Night Snow

's sudden fall from HoH to jury. Naturally, this left no one more worried than

AlphaBOT

, the outgoing HoH. Talk was made, and perhaps alliances were being forged? Still, the round could not truly be said to have begun until a new HoH was crowned. So without further ado, let's get right to that!

HoH Competition #3: Memory (Endurance Tiebreak)

The challenge was simple. 15 items were displayed on a bookcase, five items on each of three shelves. Everyone had 30 seconds to study the items carefully, and then they were taken down and the bots had to place replicas of the items of their own set of shelves as accurately as possible. It was a fairly simple challenge, though it appeared the producers overestimated the difficulty of the challenge. Once the results were in, it turned out that

BBBBB

came last, failing to place even a single item correctly.

MonikaBOT v2.0

scored 9 correct, and

Graves BOT

got 13, only mixing up two items. On the other hand,

FloaterBOT

,

SeanBOT

, and

OddBOT

all achieved a perfect score of 15. It appeared a tiebreaker was needed... so the items were taken down again without warning and the bots had to replace them again from what they still remembered! This especially caught

SeanBOT

off-guard, who only got five correct this second time.

OddBOT

managed to place them correctly, but took too long and ran out of time before actually getting them all up, only scoring 14 as a result.

FloaterBOT

was the only one to maintain its perfect score, and as such becomes the Head of Household!

FloaterBOT

thought for a while, and then chose to nominate

Graves BOT

and

OddBOT

. I wonder why~
The other bots wondered too. Whispers were had... was there an alliance controlling things? There didn't seem to be any obvious reason for the nominations. With rumours flying everywhere, all eyes soon turned to the Power of Veto.

PoV Competition #3: Luck (Logic Tiebreak)

This challenge was the most classic of classics... READY! AIM! FIRE! And so they fired.

FloaterBOT

shot

AlphaBOT

, who shot air.

SeanBOT

shot

OddBOT

, who shot itself!

BBBBB

picked off

Graves BOT

, who shot

FloaterBOT

. Finally,

MonikaBOT v2.0

shot air and survived. After the dust had settled, this meant that

OddBOT

,

BBBBB

, and

MonikaBOT v2.0

were left. Round 2 saw

OddBOT

shoot itself while

BBBBB

and

MonikaBOT v2.0

watched and laughed as they moved into a duel for the PoV... In the final round,

BBBBB

shot itself... but

MonikaBOT v2.0

shot the air again to win PoV!
At the ceremony,

MonikaBOT v2.0

didn't wait too long for petitions, but almost immediately chose to save

OddBOT

! In response,

FloaterBOT

nominated

AlphaBOT

. Everyone agreed that something smelled fishy, and the general opinion was that cahoots were afoot. Elsewhere, behind closed doors,

FloaterBOT

and

MonikaBOT v2.0

were having a secret meeting about the upcoming eviction ceremony... and while the latter was very happy with the backdoor,

FloaterBOT

wanted to stick to its original plan of seeing

Graves BOT

gone. The result was a minor falling out between the duo, but how will the votes fall in the end? Find out, at the...

Eviction Ceremony #3

Initial Nominations: Always nominate the two bot that come last alphabetically

Renominations: If veto is used, take the list of eligible bots and nominate the bot that comes last alphabetically.

Eviction Target: Declare the bot that comes last alphabetically as the eviction target.

Final HOH: If by some fricken miracle AlphaBot makes it to the end and wins, you can probably guess but vote off the player that comes last alphabetically.

[Veto]
If AlphaBot is nominated, veto self.
Otherwise, never veto.

[Voting]
For each Eviction Ceremony, perform the following calculations and vote the bot that has the most V-Points.

The nominee that comes last alphabetically gets a billion V-points.

(yes I am aware I didn't need to use the V-point system).

It's worth noting that Season 2 is now full, we're just waiting on a couple of reservations to actually be filled in.
So I am pleased to announce a minor rules patch to take effect in Season 3 - Elimination votes may not be determined randomly. (Previously it was only jury votes which had to be non-random). If you're stuck for a final tiebreak, I would recommend choosing to just vote for/against the eviction target.

Season 1, Round 4

Another week gone, and another former HoH turned juror.

AlphaBOT

joins

Night Snow

and

Cancer Karkat

in the list of bots who will receive the final say on the victor of the game. In other news, rumours were floating around that

SeanBOT

had seen

FloaterBOT

and

MonikaBOT v2.0

discussing things in secret again, and this news got leaked to all the houseguests. Reactions were... mixed. Before the situation could turn any more dramatic, however, it became time for another HoH Competition!

HoH Competition #4: Endurance (Memory Tiebreak)

It was time for a challenge involving water sport. The bots lined up outside the house's giant swimming pool, and watched 100 giant rings thrown into the pool. The winner was the one who could retrieve the most rings, but 100 rings was a lot and parts of the pool were pretty deep... (Not to mention those rings were definitely

not

distributed evenly)
As it turned out,

BBBBB

was aquaphobic and had absolutely no intention of so much as touching the pool. Unsurprisingly, he came last with 0.

MonikaBOT v2.0

put in a spirited effort, but had limited experience with water and was only able to retrieve 12 of the rings.

SeanBOT

managed third place, pulling up 25 rings.

Graves BOT

did very well with 28 rings, but in the end it was

OddBOT

who took the challenge, singlehandedly pulling up 35 of the sunken rings! When it came time to nominate people,

OddBOT

thought carefully. Of course, given the news about the reignited partnership,

FloaterBOT

went up on the block, but the HoH didn't fully trust

SeanBOT

either. Unsurprisingly, this move brought about controversy from almost everyone in the house. The only one who wasn't particularly fussed was

BBBBB

, who was in fact still trembling in a corner of the house after having fled the challenge arena. Whispers were had about what to do in this situation, but little did the bots know that everything was going to be turned on its head at the very next challenge.

PoV Competition #4: Logic (Luck Tiebreak)

This challenge was a scavenger hunt. Tokens were hidden around the house and surrounds, and the bots were given a list of cryptic clues to puzzle out which pointed to the locations of the tokens.

MonikaBOT v2.0

and

BBBBB

were able to find most of the tokens, but then a tragic accident saw the bag they were keeping them in dropped into the pool. The bag was too heavy to be pulled up easily, and with

BBBBB

trembling in a corner again,

MonikaBOT v2.0

's meagre underwater skills weren't enough to recover the tokens.

OddBOT

set out alone, but soon found itself lost somewhere out on the biathlon course.

FloaterBOT

and

Graves BOT

also decided to work together on the challenge, and together they were able to find almost all of the tokens (

FloaterBOT

and

MonikaBOT v2.0

decided not to work together in the challenge to try and throw off suspicion about their alliance). However,

SeanBOT

's superior clue-puzzling skills won the day, as it was able to singlehandedly locate every single one of the tokens to win the Power of Veto! Unsurprisingly,

SeanBOT

chose to veto itself, and it seems that

MonikaBOT v2.0

's misdirection in the challenge worked, as

OddBOT

's replacement nomination actually turned out to be

Graves BOT

! After the ceremony, more whispers were had about the peculiar choice of nominees, and in the end

OddBOT

appeared to get over its indecision and chose to primarily target

FloaterBOT

. But would the eviction target actually be evicted for the first time in the season? Find out, at the...

Eviction Ceremony #4

One by one,

MonikaBOT v2.0

,

BBBBB

, and

went into the soundproof booth to decide who to vote for eviction, while

Graves BOT

, and

OddBOT

watched nervously. Eventually the process was completed and it was announced that, by a vote of 2-1,

Graves BOT

was once again safe, leaving

FloaterBOT

Season 1, Round 5

FloaterBOT

's elimination saw a continuation in the trend of former HoHs falling in the very next round. With

OddBOT

the outgoing HoH this round, would it survive? And on the other hand, with

MonikaBOT v2.0

's key ally gone, could it avoid being sent packing right after? It's time for Round 5 at the Big Brother house.

HoH Competition #5: Skill (Endurance Tiebreak)

This challenge involved the until-now unmentioned underground laser tag arena that

SeanBOT

discovered in the last round's scavenger hunt. The challenge was a simple 30-minute free-for-all in the arena.

SeanBOT

got off to an early lead, but soon fell behind as

Graves BOT

surged ahead. However, with five minutes left,

MonikaBOT v2.0

took the lead and never let it go to win HoH (

BBBBB

, for the record, never managed a single kill - apparently it couldn't figure out which way around to hold the laser gun). It was time for the nominations, and after some thought,

MonikaBOT v2.0

nominated

Graves BOT

and

OddBOT

. Many whispers were had; after all, this was

Graves BOT

's third consecutive nomination, and

OddBOT

was of course the cursed outgoing HoH. Clearly, this was going to be a crucial PoV competition.

PoV Competition #5: Speed (Logic Tiebreak)

This challenge was a game of orienteering around the mountain. Each of the bots were given a map of the area, with various points marked. The winner was the first one to reach each of the points in order and make it back to the start point. While raw speed was of course a necessity, route choice would also be essential.

MonikaBOT v2.0

was the last one to clock in at 57 minutes, having gotten lost halfway through the course.

OddBOT

came in fourth with a time of 45 minutes - while its route choice was good, it had sacrificed speed and walked a lot of the course. Third place went to

Graves BOT

with a time of 35 minutes - a respectable result, though not quite a winning one. In second place was

SeanBOT

with 30 minutes, which meant

BBBBB

won the challenge with an exceptional time of 20 minutes! Come the veto ceremony,

BBBBB

reaffirmed its status as a backstabbing brat by vetoing nobody! This meant that the vote this time really would be between

Graves BOT

and

OddBOT

, and many whispers were had around the house attempting to persuade the voters... but which of the nominees would fall? Find out, at the...

One after the other,

Season 1, Round 6

Five HoHs have been crowned so far in the Big Brother house, and four of them have left in the round immediately after, culminating in

OddBOT

last round. The fifth,

MonikaBOT v2.0

, claims to have this round's Power of Veto assured, which would give it the single vote in this round's eviction ceremony. Can it achieve this feat? At the same time,

Graves BOT

has survived three straight nominations to make it here, and it hasn't cast a vote since Round 2.

BBBBB

is the only one of the Final Four to have avoided nomination so far, though it was vetoed off the block in Round 1, allowing it to have a say in every vote to date. Finally,

SeanBOT

is perhaps the most normal of the bunch, having managed to hang around and keep itself off the block when it mattered, though it did have a very close call in Round 2. So, like always, we start the round with the competition that

MonikaBOT v2.0

cannot participate in...

HoH Competition #6: Memory (Skill Tiebreak)

It's the most traditional of Final Four challenges, the quiz about previous game events. While

MonikaBOT v2.0

watched on one side, and the five jurors watched on the other,

Graves BOT

,

BBBBB

, and

SeanBOT

played the trivia game. The first bot to four points would win the crucial HoH and be safe from this week's eviction. For the sake of brevity (and lack of creativity) I won't detail the individual questions, but while

BBBBB

turned out to be unable to answer even a single question correctly,

Graves BOT

and

SeanBOT

traded questions up to 3-3, and then for the seventh question

Graves BOT

buzzed in first... and was wrong!

SeanBOT

was able to take the question and with it, the title of Head of Household!

SeanBOT

chose to nominate

MonikaBOT v2.0

and

Graves BOT

for eviction, which set the stage for an intense round... Whispers were of course passed between the bots, and before long it became time for the quartet to fight for the Power of Veto.

PoV Challenge #6: Luck (Speed Tiebreak)

For the final PoV challenge, the four bots were set around a table containing eight numbered envelopes. Two of the envelopes contained a slip of paper saying "Power of Veto". Two of the envelopes contained a slip of paper saying "Car". Finally, the other four envelopes contained a blank slip of paper. Each of the bots took two envelopes, and then each stage for as long as it took, every envelope had to be traded for another. If at any point one bot had both PoV envelopes, they won the PoV and the challenge ended. Oh, and if at any point one bot had both Car envelopes, they won a brand new Toyota Corolla worth $20 733! However, that bot would then be removed from the challenge. So, for the sake of the viewers at home, let's show you the contents of each envelope: 1, 5, 6, and 8 are blank. 2 and 3 have Car, whilst 4 and 7 have PoV.
So the bots took envelopes in order.

MonikaBOT v2.0

got 1 and 5,

Graves BOT

got 2 and 6,

BBBBB

got 3 and 7, and

SeanBOT

got 4 and 8. Remembering that every envelope had to be traded every stage and the bots did not know the contents of any envelope they hadn't seen, it was going to be an interesting challenge.
Stage 1 - 1 was traded for 2, 3 was traded for 4, 5 was traded for 8, and 6 was traded for 7. This left

MonikaBOT v2.0

with 2 and 8,

Graves BOT

with 1 and 7,

BBBBB

with 4 and 6, and

SeanBOT

with 3 and 5.
Stage 2 - 1 was traded with 3, 2 was traded with 7, 4 was traded with 5, and 6 was traded with 8. This left

MonikaBOT v2.0

with 6 and 7,

Graves BOT

with 2 and 3,

BBBBB

with 5 and 8, and

SeanBOT

with 1 and 4. As a result,

Graves BOT

won the car and left the challenge joyfully! But the PoV was still out there...
Stage 3 -

BBBBB

knew both PoV envelopes, and currently possessed neither of them. As such, in its attempt to claim the PoV, it immediately traded his 5 for

SeanBOT

's 4. However,

SeanBOT

did not know which of

MonikaBOT v2.0

's envelopes was the other PoV, and traded its 1 for 7. This left 6 to be traded with 8. As a result,

BBBBB

and

SeanBOT

were left with the two PoV envelopes (7 and 4 respectively), and the challenge continued.
Stage 4 -

BBBBB

needed to get rid of its PoV envelope, so it traded it to

MonikaBOT v2.0

. The latter then

immediately

started petitioning for

SeanBOT

to trade the other one, on the grounds that it hadn't seen the envelope's contents and it wasn't fair because both of the other two had perfect information and it didn't (and while

MonikaBOT v2.0

had indeed never seen envelope 4, it had seen every other envelope and as such knew what it was anyway), which

SeanBOT

was unsurprisingly resistant to. In the face of this,

BBBBB

offered to take the envelope for it, but in a rush to deal with this

SeanBOT

accidentally passed the wrong envelope, thereby forcing

MonikaBOT v2.0

to claim envelope 4 and win the final Power of Veto!
Unsurprisingly,

BBBBB

was not at all happy at this mistake, taking it as a deliberate backdooring. But it was indeed the Final Four, and so

BBBBB

was forced to accept its nomination alongside

Graves BOT

, who was now one car richer.

Eviction Ceremony #6

Whispers were not needed here any more.

BBBBB

very strongly petitioned for its continued existence, and

SeanBOT

was in agreeance.

Graves BOT

was personally rather satisfied with the car, but wouldn't mind staying in for the Final Three if it could. In the end, however, it was all

MonikaBOT v2.0

's choice, and while it personally preferred to keep

Graves BOT

around, it was worried about the jury. In addition, the split between

BBBBB

and

SeanBOT

at the challenge result was seen as a weakness that could be exploited, and as such, when it came time for the eviction ceremony, by a vote of 1-0,

Graves BOT

...

has been eliminated.

Season 1, Round 7

Over the last six weeks at the Big Brother house, six bots have been sent to the jury. One by one,

Cancer Karkat

,

Night Snow

,

AlphaBOT

,

FloaterBOT

,

OddBOT

, and most recently

Graves BOT

have been evicted from the house, leaving only

MonikaBOT v2.0

,

BBBBB

, and

SeanBOT

with a shot at the million dollar prize and title of Big Brother Bots Champion. But before we could begin the Final Challenge to turn our Final Three into a Final Two, it was time for torchwalks. What, you're saying this is the wrong game for that? Well so is editing epsidoes instead of just dumping a live feed on you all, so too bad! They can do it in the diary room or something. In addition, a special announcement was made: In honour of the specific pattern of the evictions made throughout the game, Season 1 would be granted the official name of "Big Brother Bots - Vengeance". With this declaration made, it was time for our finalists to perform the torchwalk.

Torchwalks: Big Brother Bots - Vengeance

MonikaBOT v2.0

gave us all a long and detailed speech on each of the evicted bots. From how it was very sorry to see

Cancer Karkat

out first, but as the other nominee it really had no choice, to forlorn words of lost potential about

FloaterBOT

and its alliance, to a dramatic apology to

Graves BOT

for its decision last round, there was something for each and every juror here, if only they'd actually been permitted to hear it. The viewers and host agreed that this definitely fit

MonikaBOT v2.0

and its gameplay very well.

BBBBB

instead chose to give Big Brother a speech celebrating the eviction of each of its competitors, and how in every single round except the last it could have easily and singlehandedly saved the bot that was evicted, but chose not to for one reason or another. It bragged about how it had complete control over the game from start to finish despite its often pitiful challenge performance, and was now going to prove this fact by winning Big Brother Bots. The speech was a very bold and controversial one, but no one could deny that it certainly fit

BBBBB

's personality.
Finally, when it was

SeanBOT

's turn to enter the diary room, in lieu of making a speech it drew some symbols on a sheet of paper and held it up for the camera to see: ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ. No one was quite sure what

SeanBOT

really meant by this, but people agreed that it somehow fit, even if they couldn't explain why.

The torchwalks completed, no time was wasted in bringing the bots to the scene of the Final Challenge.

Final Challenge - Phase I: Endurance and Logic

This scene was in fact the laser tag arena from before, but now it had been reconfigured into an epic maze. The bots would need an excellent sense of direction to reach the maze's centre. Once the challenge started, each bot ran in with its own strategy.

BBBBB

charged straight in and turned at random, and soon found itself completely lost.

MonikaBOT v2.0

attempted the left-hand rule, only to find itself caught in a loop around the maze's edge (explicitly designed to prevent such tactics) going nowhere fast.

SeanBOT

was the only bot to make a decent tactical effort to keep a sense of direction about it, and as such was the first one to reach the maze's centre and make it to the duel at the end of the Final Challenge. But for

MonikaBOT v2.0

and

BBBBB

, there was only one chance left to them.

Final Challenge - Phase II: Skill and Speed

This challenge would be the ultimate test of the duo's skill: a rock-climbing race up a face of the mountain. While all efforts were made to ensure the bots' safety, there were no doubts that this would be the most extreme challenge in Big Brother history. See, this is why the regular seasons should build a house on top of a mountain! But anyways, the challenge itself showed

BBBBB

using its superior Speed to get off to an early lead. However,

MonikaBOT v2.0

was a quick learner and soon started closing the gap...
In the end, it wasn't even close.

BBBBB

was able to reach the peak first and survive to make the duel, leaving

MonikaBOT v2.0

at the mercy of the eventual winner.

Final Challenge - Phase III: Memory and Luck

This challenge, the final duel, would be the ultimate test of memory: Simon.
As the winner of Phase I,

SeanBOT

opted to go first. It received the pattern RBRBGGGGBRYRBYGYGBYGGGBRRBRGRR, failing when another G was added for a score of 30.

BBBBB

went second, and had to beat the rather impressive score of 30 in order to win. It received the pattern GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, failing when a B was added for a s-wait,

what?

Is that even legal? I swear, sometimes the Random Number Goddess can do very strange things... but no evidence of cheating can be found, which means the score of 30 stands!
...wait,

what?

A tie? We've never had this happen before here in the Big Brother house! Let's see here, there's got to be a protocol for this somewhere in the manual... oh, here it is! It says that in the instance the final duel is a tie, the winner of the Final Challenge will be the bot that won Phase I, and that would mean that

SeanBOT

is the Head of Household for Week 7, winning a guaranteed spot in the Final Two!

MonikaBOT v2.0

and

BBBBB

were thereby the potential nominees, and the next few days involved plenty of pandering to

SeanBOT

in an attempt to convince it to take them with it.

Eviction Ceremony #7

At the end of the week, it was time for

SeanBOT

to announce its decision. After pondering it over for a few moments more, it locked in its choice. Citing the reason of "because I can" and muttering something about lists, the revelation was declared that

BBBBB

...

was going to the Final Two, leaving

MonikaBOT v2.0

as the final member of the jury.

1. If I won HOH, wonder how the fuck I won HOH. Proceed to subcategories.

NOMINATIONS:
0. At all stages of this section, if I have no nominees yet and one player fits a criterion clearly but another doesn't (i.e. if there is a tie for second) nominate that one player and proceed to further steps to find a second. Also, if there is a tie for any position, exclude all players not in the tie from further consideration and use the later steps as tiebreakers. The player nominated in the earliest step is the Eviction Target. If both were chosen simultaneously, use later steps as tiebreakers, with the player I would first choose becoming the Eviction Target.
1. If it is the Final Five or later, and exactly one bot has more Skill than me, nominate it.
2. Nominate the player(s) who have made me an Eviction Target the most times. If this has never happened, obviously, proceed to 3.
3. If the winner of veto challenge 3 is still in the game and it is currently round 4 or 5, nominate them.
4. If there are any players who are clearly not vengeful (i.e. they have had the opportunity to nominate player(s) who had nominated them before the most times, but didn't), and it is Final Five or earlier nominate them.
5. Nominate the player(s) who have voted against me the most times.
6. Nominate the bot that has voted the same way as me the least times.
7. Nominate the bot(s) with the highest combined Endurance & Skill & Memory. If tied, see 8.
8. Nominate at random.

POST VETO NOMINEES: Follow regular nominee procedure. The non replacement nominee is the Eviction Target.

VETO DECISIONS:
0. If I am HOH, don't use the veto. If I'm not, see 1.
1. If I am on the block, veto myself. Else, see 2.
2. If it is the Final Four, do not use the veto. Else, see 3.
3. If it is the Final Five, and the bot that won veto challenge 3 is still in the game, veto the OTHER bot. Else, see 4.
4. Veto the bot that has voted against me less often. If tied, see 5.
5. Veto the bot that has nominated me less often. If tied, see 6.
6. If either bot on the block will win the next HOH comp if it's still in the game, and didn't win veto challenge 3 (or said challenge hasn't happened yet), veto that bot. Else, see 7.

VOTING DECISIONS:
1. If it is the Final Five, and the bot that won veto challenge 3 is still in the game (and isn't me), vote for it. If not possible, see 2.
2. Vote for the bot that has nominated me more times. If tied, see 3.

Jury Finale: Big Brother Bots - Vengeance

This is it. After seven weeks and a day of living in the mountaintop Big Brother house with no contact with the outside world,

BBBBB

and

SeanBOT

now stand before you all. However, the decision of who shall win is no longer in their hands. The winner shall be determined by the jury - those seven bots who have been evicted from the house over the course of the game. One by one, each juror shall reveal their protocol and cast their vote, until eventually the winner has been determined. So... here we go.

Before considering anything else, list all bots except Seanbot in alphabetical order, like such:

If a player is selected from the list, shuffle the bot to the bottom of the list. If the player is not already at the top of the list, shuffle all players up to and including the voted player to the bottom of the list, keeping the sequential order of all players shuffled:

Examples:

Nominated Cheerybot and Examplebot from the list

[HoH]
Initial Nominations: Take the first two eligible players from the list

Renominations: Take the first eligible player on the list

Eviction Target: Take the first eligible player on the list

Final HoH:
1. If at least one player has on two separate occasions not vote for Seanbot when Seanbot was nominated, or vetoed Seanbot at least once,

1a.
Consider the number of times each bot has vetoed the player. Add 2 points for each bot for every instance.
Consider the number of times each bot has not voted for Seanbot when nominated. Add 1 point for every instance.

1b. Vote the player who earned the least number of points using this calculation.

2. If tied, or if no player has not voted for Seanbot when nominated twice or vetoed Seanbot, take the first eligible player on the list

[Veto]
1. Use the veto on self if nominated
2. Use the veto on the player who did not vote for Seanbot when nominated on the most instances. Skip this step if neither bot has done so on at least 3 occasions. If tied, do not use the veto.
3. Use the veto on the player who vetoed Seanbot the most number of times. Skip this step if neither bot has done so. If tied, do not use the veto.
4. Veto the eligible player highest on the above list.

[Voting]
Vote the eligible player highest on the above list. Because I can.

[Jury]
Vote the player that Seanbot has voted most often to evict. Seanbot hates to be a prick.
If tied, vote the player that wasn't HoH when Seanbot was evicted. If netiher were,
If possible vote the player who did not vote to evict Seanbot the round Seanbot was evicted. If neither/both players did so,
Vote the player that vetoed Seanbot the most often. If tied,
Vote the player that voted the least often for Seanbot whenever he was nominated for eviction. If still tied.
Vote the eligible player highest on the list.

Spoiler: Nicholas1024 - Big Brother Backstabbing Brat BOT

Name: Big Brother Backstabbing Brat Bot (or BBBBB for short.)
Stats: 0 endurance, 0 skill, 0 memory, 0 logic, 300 luck, 300 speed.

HoH criteria: Nominate the two people aside from yourself whose names would be worth the most scrabble points. Use the same logic if the veto is used.

Veto criteria: Only use the veto to save yourself, else it'll go unused.

Elimination Voting criteria: Vote whoever has sided with you in the most votes. In the case of a tie, vote the person who has won the most previous veto competitions. In case of a tie there, vote the person who has won the most HoH competitions. And if all else is tied, vote the person whose name comes first alphabetically. (And this shouldn't need to be said, but NEVER vote yourself.)

Winner voting criteria:
Vote whichever one DIDN'T vote you out. If both or neither did, vote whoever has more B's in their name. If still tied, vote whoever's name is worth more scrabble points. If still tied, vote for whoever's name is first alphabetically.

Fun Facts:

• Until MonikaBOT v2.0 won PoV6, every HoH was evicted in the very next round.
• If MonikaBOT v2.0 hadn't won PoV6, it would have been evicted that round (continuing the chain). In addition, Graves BOT would have survived five straight nominations to win 6-1 after only having voted in the first two eviction ceremonies.
• Each time Graves BOT was nominated, it received exactly one vote. This vote was always from either MonikaBOT v2.0 or SeanBOT, alternating each time.
• The only two bots without BOT in their name went first. Conspiracy?
• All three of OddBOT's votes before its eviction were cast randomly. Twice, this singlehandedly decided which nominee was evicted. OddBOT was also the only bot to ever vote randomly.
• While the only double-HoH was SeanBOT, every PoV winner won twice. In addition, the three PoV winners all made the Final 3.
• Each member of the Final 3 survived exactly one eviction ceremony before the Final 3, and each was also nominated exactly one additional time but got vetoed.

Thanks to everyone for playing, and see you tomorrow for Season 2!

These nine bots will now enter the house, and as they are evicted one by one, eventually only one will remain to claim the title of

Big Brother Bots Season 2 Champion

and $1 000 000 in totally legitimate Zimbabwean dollars!

(*Disclaimer: This is the original and unmodified bot I sent to Blackberry. I hope no one has an issue with this?)

[JDGA]

Season 2, Round 1

The nine bots enter the house, whereupon they are immediately shipped off to the living room for their first challenge.

HoH Competition #1: Endurance (Skill Tiebreak)

That's right, it's time for Majority Rules! The candidates are required to size each other up and campaign for votes, because by the end of the day they will vote to decide who becomes the first Head of Household. Most of the bots try some campaining (with the exception of

BOTIN8R

, who flat-out asked the other houseguests not to vote for it), though it is clear some are better at campaigning than others. As the day went on, sizing-up was made, with

Arachnae Vriska

in particular taking pity on

BOTIN8R

's unwillingness to campaign, naming it PUPA PAN. Not that anyone really knows what that means, but it probably means some form of protection, right? Actually,

LOYAL BOT

overheard this conversation between the duo, only to be discovered by

Arachnae Vriska

. By the time the latter was done berating it,

LOYAL BOT

was so intimidated that it chose to swear undying loyalty to

Arachnae Vriska

rather than risk suffering its wrath. With a peculiar power structure in place, the trio then voted to elect

KnightBOT

HoH... along with everyone else in a unanimous decision. As Head of Household,

KnightBOT

chose to nominate

XalxeBOT

and

BOTIN8R

for eviction, a shocking move given the power structure beginning to be formed. But it was still only the start of the game, and almost anyone could go home next. The Power of Veto would decide a lot, but who would win it? Let's find out.

PoV Competition #1: Logic (Speed Tiebreak)

This challenge was a blitz chess single-elimination tournament!

ZingBOT

and

Arachnae Vriska

were randomly chosen to play a seeding match to make the numbers even, which

ZingBOT

won. From then on,

ZingBOT

beat

XalxeBOT

,

BOTIN8R

beat

Knight BOT

,

ChenBOT

beat

LOYAL BOT

,

Discord BOT

beat

MONKEY KING BOT

,

ZingBOT

beat

BOTIN8R

,

Discord BOT

beat

ChenBOT

, and so the final match was between

ZingBOT

and

Discord BOT

, but who won...?
It was

Discord BOT

, forcing a resignation in 24 moves to take the Power of Veto! After carefully calculating which option would create the most discord,

Discord BOT

chose to veto... no one! As a result, one of

XalxeBOT

and

BOTIN8R

would be going home this round, but which? If nothing else,

KnightBOT

was making claims that it should be

BOTIN8R

. Whispers floated around the house, and maybe some intimidation took place, but come the end of the week it was time to find out who would be evicted from the Big Brother house.

Season 2, Round 2

KnightBOT

was devastated at the vote going unanimously against its eviction target. Feeling it had nowhere to turn and was probably next, it started looking for someone to call its ally. With all of the other bots eschewing

KnightBOT

, it decided that the only one it had a chance of trusting, despite the circumstances, was the only one who hadn't voted against it -

BOTIN8R

. This closed-door discussion went down rather peacefully, though

BOTIN8R

was still rather unimpressed at

KnightBOT

over the events of Round 1. Soon after,

BOTIN8R

was confronted by

Arachnae Vriska

, who had noticed the duo in a room by themselves, and wanted to know what was up. Practically forcing

BOTIN8R

to confess to the agreement it had made with

KnightBOT

, the response from

Arachnae Vriska

was that if

BOTIN8R

was turning to someone as pitiful as

KnightBOT

for an alliance (it conveniently ignored the fact that

KnightBOT

was the one to initiate the talks), then clearly it needed to get a lot tougher if it wanted to have a shot at winning this game.

HoH Competition #2: Skill (Memory Tiebreak)

The next day, it was time for the bots to compete again. This challenge was numbers. A mathematics bee, to be precise. The bots took turns answering progressively more difficult sums, dropping out on an incorrect answer. It took seventeen loops for the challenge to be completed, but in the end it was

Arachnae Vriska

who prevailed over

MONKEY KING BOT

to take the title of Head of Household! It declared that it was time for some of the toughening-up to take place, nominating

BOTIN8R

, and for the second nomination it chose

Discord BOT

, seemingly at random. Needless to say, neither nominee was pleased by this, especially since

BOTIN8R

was under the impression that

Arachnae Vriska

wanted to work with it. Whispers flew around the house at this apparent disunity, and soon it became time for the PoV challenge.

PoV Competition #2: Speed (Luck Tiebreak)

This challenge was a simple race around the surrounds of the Big Brother house (which is in the middle of a forest this time around). A course was set out, and the bots had to run through it as quickly as they could. Though, as it turns out,

BOTIN8R

turned out to be by far the fastest runner in the house, easily taking home the Power of Veto! Unsurprisingly, it vetoed itself. This did not make

Arachnae Vriska

very happy ("oh, you think you don't

need

my help? Then you can 8e my SCOURGE SISTER!"), but after grumbling for a while it eventually chose to nominate

ChenBOT

to fill the gap.

ChenBOT

used this to quickly deduce that

Arachnae Vriska

was Untrustworthy and started passing this fact around the house, but it became just one whisper in the sea of many that quickly enveloped the houseguests. One thing that was made clear was that

Arachnae Vriska

still preferred

Discord BOT

to be the one going, but with the house full of vitriol, would her wish be respected? Find out, at the...

Eviction Ceremony #2

One by one,

ZingBOT

, and

watched. Eventually the process was completed and it was determined that, by a vote of 3-2,

has been evicted from the Big Brother house.

Endurance: 51
Skill: 81
Memory: 202. Big Brother is always watching, and it never forgets.
Logic: 154. The Chenbot is perfectly logical, of course.
Speed: 91
Luck: 21. The Chenbot does not need “luck”. She is simply good.

Tonight, one of the nominees will leave the Big Brother house. But, the most twisted summer yet continues, as what the players don't know is that I... will be entering the game tonight. Welcome... to Big Brother!

Trusting players who don't seem to want to work with Chenbot is not a good strategy. How will she know when they don't want to do that? Let's take a look. If a player has nominated Chenbot ever, or voted against her twice, she deduces that they are Untrustworthy.

{HOH DECISIONS}
Congratulations, Julie! YOU. Are the new Head of Household.
One at a time, I will pull a key from this box. The player whose key it is will be safe. They will draw the next key, and so on, and so forth.

Nominate the middle bots alphabetically (including or not including Chenbot, whichever guarantees this step finds the right number of nominees).

But first, nominate player(s) with the highest Skill stat.

But first, nominate player(s) with the lowest combined HOH stats, excluding any player who has the highest remaining in any given HOH stat.

But first, if it is round 2 or 3, and the winner of Veto 1 is present and not Chenbot, nominate them.

But first, the player with the highest next-HOH-challenge stat, you are safe.

But first, nominate Untrustworthy players. If there are fewer than two, nominate one if possible and refer to other steps. If there are more than two, exclude everyone else and use other steps as a tiebreaker.

Refer to these same steps in the event of a veto being used.

{VETO DECISIONS}
See voting decisions. I have decided to use the Power of Veto on the nominee I would be voting to keep.

But first, if only one player on the block is Untrustworthy, I have decided to use the Power of Veto on the non-Untrustworthy nominee.

But first, if it is the Final Four, I have decided not to use the Power of Veto.

But first, if on block, I have decided to use the Power of Veto on myself.

{VOTING DECISIONS}
It's almost time for the live eviction. But first, let's go to the living room and check on the HouseGuests.
[…]
One at a time, each of us will enter the Diary Room and cast our vote to evict. Julie, you're first tonight. Please go to the Diary Room. Julie and [nominee] have had a bumpy relationship. It will be surprising if she votes to keep it.

As we all know, pawns do go home in this game, and the most important thing about it is quite simple. Never forget to Expect the Unexpected. I vote to evict the pawn (not the eviction target).

But first, I vote to evict the bot that has voted differently from me the greatest number of times.

But first, I vote to evict the nominee, if there is only one, who is Untrustworthy.

But first, for the first time in this game, a member of the most powerful alliance in the game will go home tonight. Find the biggest block of bots who have voted together the greatest number of times (prioritizing # of times voted together over block size). If Chenbot is not a part of this block, and only one nominee is in it, I vote to evict the block member.

But first, if it is round 4 or 5, and the winner of Veto 3 is on the block, vote to KEEP them, unless they are Untrustworthy OR Chenbot has already voted against them twice or more, OR Chenbot is the sole living player to have ever voted against them. In any of these cases, ignore this step.

But first, if it is round 2 or 3, and the winner of Veto 1 is on the block, vote to evict them.

It's official. With [enough] votes to evict [Chenbot's target], [target] will be leaving the house tonight. But let's see how the other votes fall.
When I reveal the results, the evicted HouseGuest will have only a few moments to say goodbye, gather his or her belongings, and walk out the front door. By a vote... of {enough to not enough}... [target]... you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

{JURY VOTE}

Seven bots remain. Who will be evicted next? Find out next time~

Season 2, Round 3

BOTIN8R

was still furious at

Arachnae Vriska

over the nomination last round. It didn't particularly trust

KnightBOT

either thanks to Round 1, so for a true ally it decided to turn to

ZingBOT

. Thankfully for the duo, this talk went smoothly and they weren't discovered by

Arachnae Vriska

. While its controlling personality was useful for keeping the house as a whole on side, some side relationships were probably necessary. However, there was one bot which

Arachnae Vriska

found impossible to intimidate:

Discord BOT

. How would the house dynamic affect the third week of Big Brother Bots? Let's watch and find out.

HoH Competition #3: Memory (Endurance Tiebreak)

This challenge started off with a list of items being presented to the bots. There were ten items, and each appeared a number of times. They had only a few seconds to read the list, and then it was hidden. In turn, each bot would then name one of the items. Each item could be named up to the number of times it appeared on the list - if a bot named an item that had reached its limit, that bot was out of the challenge. After several rounds of naming items, it came down to

Discord BOT

versus

ZingBOT

, but the former's memory turned out to be just too strong and it was only starting to struggle by the time

ZingBOT

fell. As the new Head of Household,

Discord BOT

was mainly after revenge for last round and to shake up the power structure somewhat; as such, it nominated

BOTIN8R

and

Arachnae Vriska

. Needless to say, this caused quite the drama between the bots, with whispers flying furiously around the house.

Arachnae Vriska

was about to go on the warpath, and things were not going to end well. But would the nominations even stand? The PoV challenge could well change a lot.

PoV Competition #3: Luck (Logic Tiebreak)

It's that time again, time for Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 1 saw

Discord BOT

and

Arachnae Vriska

shoot each other.

ZingBOT

shot

KnightBOT

, who shot

BOTIN8R

, who successfully shot itself.

MONKEY KING BOT

shot

ZingBOT

, while

LOYAL BOT

shot the sky. This saw

BOTIN8R

,

MONKEY KING BOT

, and

LOYAL BOT

survive the round. The second round had

MONKEY KING BOT

shoot

BOTIN8R

, who shot itself again while

LOYAL BOT

avoided confrontation by shooting air again. In the final duel,

LOYAL BOT

shot the air again, while

BOTIN8R

... shot

LOYAL BOT

!

BOTIN8R

wins the Power of Veto, and unsurprisingly uses it to veto itself for a second time! On the benches while the game was going on,

Arachnae Vriska

had been having a very good talk with

Discord BOT

telling it all about how much it would suffer if it chose to continue targeting

Arachnae Vriska

. Did this attempt at intimidation work? In any case,

Discord BOT

choose to replace

BOTIN8R

with

MONKEY KING BOT

, which just left even more whispers floating around.

BOTIN8R

and

ZingBOT

were wondering whether or not it would be more trouble than it was worth to keep

Arachnae Vriska

around, but would the votes really fall that way? It's time for...

=HOH DECISIONS=

-Initial Nominees/Replacement Nominee-
1) Commence spinning! Do not stop spinning until nominees have been chosen. At that point you have won, so the spinning can stop. Always nominate the bot that is higher up the list first
2) Get rid of threats. Place the 2 BOTs that have the HIGHEST Skill stat (highest skill stat gets first nomination).
3) If the above has produced a tie, then choose between all tied bots that have the HIGHEST Endurance Stat (highest endurance stat gets first nomination).
4) If the above has produced a tie AND the tie can be broken by putting someone on the block that has put me on the block, do so.
5) If the above has produced a tie AND the tie can be broken by nominating someone who's voted for me, do so.
6) If the above has produced a tie AND the tie can be broken by nominating someone that performed better than me in he most recent challenge, do so.
7) If the above has produced a tie AND the tie can be broken by nominating someone I have previously nominated, do so.
8) If the above has produced a tie AND the tie can be broken by nominating someone who has NOT been on the block, do so.
9) Stop spinning, choose a random person between all remaining tied players, and sigh. The spin to win tactic did not work.

-Eviction Target-

The eviction target is the first nomination. In the event of a tie, continue down the list until the tie is broken. In the event of a veto being used, the eviction target is the remaining original nominee.

=POWER OF VETO=

Follow the list, from top to bottom. If a criteria fits one nominee and one nominee ALONE, then veto them. Otherwise do not use. If a veto is used, immediately spin on top of the OTHER nominee in complete disregard because they're less important than the monkey's banana stash.

DO NOT USE VETO IF I AM ALSO HOH. That takes precedence over all else, as the Monkey King is not afraid to let his foes have a fair fight.

1) Take solace in the poor low skilled players and veto a player with under 50 skill.
2) Make allies and veto a player that has vetoed me but has not voted for me.
3) Make tentative alliances and veto a player that did not vote for me when I was on the block.
4) Take solace in a players lack of endurance and veto a player with under 35 endurance.

Season 2, Round 4

After three rounds, the remaining houseguests were in a very strange dynamic.

Arachnae Vriska

was still in charge, with

LOYAL BOT

its faithful servant.

DISCORD BOT

's initial resistance melted somewhat after last round, while

BOTIN8R

was still making plans with

ZingBOT

.

KnightBOT

hadn't really been heard from in a while, but was now and again appearing in support of

BOTIN8R

. With a Final Six that wasn't particularly cohesive, who would be going next?

HoH Competition #4: Endurance (Memory Tiebreak)

This challenge was your typical game of everyone being placed on a board together and having to travel on it for as long as they could without crossing anyone's paths.

Arachnae Vriska

tried to shut out

ZingBOT

, who tried to shut out

LOYAL BOT

, who tried to shut out

BOTIN8R

, who tried to shut out

Discord BOT

, who tried to shut out

Arachnae Vriska

. Wait, doesn't that mean everyone left

KnightBOT

all alone to win the challenge easily? Oh well~
As for the nominations, it chose

Discord BOT

and

Arachnae Vriska

. Something about revenge for its ally... With a duo that could never decide whether to be friends or enemies both on the block, this was set to be a rollercoaster of a round.

PoV Competition #4: Logic (Luck Tiebreak)

This challenge was a giant jigsaw puzzle. Each bot got an identical puzzle, and the first one to put theirs together won.

Arachnae Vriska

and

LOYAL BOT

were neck and neck at the start, but then

Discord BOT

and

ZingBOT

pulled ahead! The four battled it out for a while, but in the end it was

Discord BOT

that was able to complete its puzzle first and win the Power of Veto! Unsurprisingly it chose to veto itself, which meant it fell to

KnightBOT

to select a replacement nominee. After thinking for a while, it selected

ZingBOT

for eviction, and made it the target as well. Something about jealousy (

BOTIN8R

was still unhappy over Round 1 and was kind of ignoring

KnightBOT

as a result). With whispers floating around the house regarding what to actually do, and a backroom talk between

ZingBOT

and

Discord BOT

, it was time to find out who would be leaving the Big Brother house.

Eviction Ceremony #4

One by one,

Discord BOT

,

BOTIN8R

, and

LOYAL BOT

entered the Diary Room to cast their votes for eviction, while

ZingBOT

,

Arachnae Vriska

, and

KnightBOT

watched. Eventually the process was completed and it was announced that, by a vote of 2-1,

ZingBOT

...

Spoiler: Result

was safe, leaving

Arachnae Vriska

to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

Stats:
Endurance-130
Skill - 190
Memory - 80
Logic- 120
Speed - 80
Luck- 0

Strategy Defined:

To 8egin, you will first need to find a foe worthy of your attention. Someone weak and pathetic that you can help toughen up to a 8etter level of skill. At the start of the game you will designate the player with the lowest visi8le stat total as your PUPA PAN.

If there is a tie for lowest stat total, pick the player with the lowest Endurance.
If there is a tie for lowest Endurance, pick the player with the lowest Skill.
If there is a tie for lowest skill, pick the player with the lowest Memory.
If there is a tie, congratulations! You managed to find at least two identical bots. 8oth of those 8ots are worthy of your aid, and both will be designated at PUPA PAN. It is soooooooo hard to find good nemeses these days! :::: (

If ever your number of PUPA PANS is less than one, you must find a new one following the same criteria, UNLESS there are 5 or less players remaining in game. If that is the case, you no longer have a PUPA PAN. It's heart8reaking, 8ut for the 8est.

In addition you need to find a SCOURGE SISTER. If you do not win the first Head of Household Competition, that winner will 8e designated as your SCOURGE SISTER until after the first Eviction Ceremony. If you win the first Head of Household, you will have no SCOURGE SISTER until after the first Eviction Ceremony. This overrides the point system.

While you are alive, the current SCOURGE SISTER will be designated as the 8ot who currently has the most points against you as determined 8y the following.
Vote to Evict you: 8 points
Not Voting your Eviction Target: 5 points
Vetoing one of your Nominations: 2 points
Voting Differently from you in an Eviction: 1 point

If there is a tie, choose the player whose total stats is closest to yours. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Choose the player who has won more competitions. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Choose the players whose Endurance is closest to yours. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Repeat the a8ove for Skill, then Memory if there is a tie.
If there is another tie, you have no SCOURGE SISTER. Check again after the next competition.

Head of Household-
8ehold! You have planned to 8ecome the Head of Household and thus far have done so admira8ly. Ideally from here on out you will win ALL the competitions, but gr8 things like that tend to be haaaaaaaard.

If you have exactly one PUPA PAN, nominate him or her. If you have exactly two PUPA PANs, nominate the 8oth of them. If you still have a nomination remaining, proceed. If you have more than two PUPA PANs, act as though you have none for the Nomination.

Nomination Protocol:
-Nominate the 8ot with the highest stat in the next Head of Household competition. If there is a tie, proceed 8elow
-Nominate the 8ot with the highest stat that will 8e used as a tie8reaker in the next Head of Household competition. if there is a tie, proceed 8elow
-Nominate the 8ot with the highest stat that will not 8e used to determine the next Head of Household. If there is a tie, proceed 8elow.
-Nominate the 8ot who has been nominated the most times this game. If there is a tie, proceed 8elow.
-Nominate the 8ot who has nominated you the most times. If there is a tie, proceed 8elow.
-Nominate the 8ot who has voted along your SCOURGE SISTER the most. If there is a tie or you do not have a SCOURGE SISTER, see 8elow
-Nominate the 8ot who has voted most for your PUPA PAN. If there is a tie or you have no PUPA PAN, see 8elow.
-Nominate your SCOURGE SISTER. If you don't have a SCOURGE SISTER, see 8elow
-Randomly choose from the remaining 8ots.

Veto:
If one of your targets in Vetoed, repeat the nomination process to find a replacement 8ot.

Eviction Target:
If there is a 8ot on the 8lock that is not a PUPA PAN, make that 8ot the eviction target. If there are no PUPA PANs or two PUPA PANs, vote according to the following protocol.

Select the 8ot with the highest com8ined availa8le stat total. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Select the 8ot with the highest stat critical to the next Head of Household competition. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Select the 8ot with the highest stat critical to the Head of Household competition after next. If there is a tie, see 8elow
Select the 8ot with the highest stat critical to the Head of Household competition after the next two. If there is a tie, see 8elow.
Select the 8ot that has been vetoed the most by your SCOURGE SISTER. If there is a tie, see 8elow.
Select the 8ot that has voted with your SCOURGE SISTER in more instances. If there is a tie, see 8elow.
Select the 8ot that has won the most total competitions. If there is a tie, see 8elow.
Select an eviction target at random.

Veto Decision:
At laaaaaaaast you have won the power of veto. Time to consider whether you should take advantage of this gr8 opportunity or whether it is in your 8est interests to let the current status quo stay. Use the following protocol to decide:

If you are on the 8lock, veto yourself. This overrides all other protocols.
If it the final four, do not use the power of veto.
If any of the players on the block are your PUPA PAN, veto that player.
If the a8ove three do not lead to a decision, check if your SCOURGE SISTER is on the 8lock. If so, do not use veto. If not, see 8elow.
If there is a player who is not on the 8lock, and is not you, yet has received more votes in a single TC than either of the the 8ots, veto the 8ot which has received more total votes. If not, see 8elow.
If there is a player who is not on the 8lock that has won more Veto Competitions than either of the 8ots on the 8lock, and isn't you, veto the 8ot which has received more total votes. If not, see 8elow.
If there is a player who is not on the 8lock that has won more HoH Competitions than either of the 8ots on the 8lock, veto the 8ot which has received more total votes. If not, see 8elow.
Do not use the Power of Veto.

Voting Protocol:
It is now time for the vote. Ideally you had some hand in determined who is available to vote, so now it is time to make you move.

If either 8ot is your eviction target, vote that 8ot. If not, see 8elow.
If either 8ot is your PUPA PAN, vote for the other 8ot. If neither or 8oth is, see 8elow.
If either 8ot is your SCOURGE SISTER, vote for that 8ot. If not, see 8elow.
If either 8ot has won more com8ined HoH and PoV competitions than you have, vote that 8ot. If not or in the event of a tie, see 8elow.
Vote for the 8ot who has voted most frequently for you PUPA PAN. If there is a tie, see 8elow.
Vote for the 8ot who has most frequently vetoed your SCOURGE SISTER and not voted for that 8ot when they had the chance.
Vote for the 8ot with the highest com8ined stat total. If there is a tie, see 8elow.

Vote for the current Eviction Target.

Jury Protocol
[REDACTED]

Five bots remain. Who will be evicted next? Find out next time~

(And that's probably the least of the problems there - I had the spot reserved, but Xalxe vanished before I was able to get corrections. Since he went first anyway, I kind of just left it)

[JDGA]

Assignments happened, then I got lazy and unmotivated. I'll see what I can do; if I can't pick myself back up I may just hand off my documents for someone else to take over. I don't really want to see this die completely >_<

[JDGA]

(Yup, I gave Ceph the files to keep it running since I'm being kept busy and also unmotivated)
