BgBzzzt questions for Frank

> if a game is interrupted and after which move it is interrupted is simply decided by a random.

Firstly, you should stop using "interrupted" ambiguously and falsely as though users could "uninterrupt" and resume the game the same way they can with games that they themselves interrupt. Your crippleware "terminates!" games.

Often times I ask several questions at once but you only pick one or two to answer and ignore the rest. This time again you only answered 2 and 3 but ignored 2a and 2b which were not critical but I would have liked to know the answer to question 1.

Yesterday I wanted to try playing a sample session of 25 money games and I played 4 additional games to allow for 1/6 to be terminated. Not only that 7 games were terminated, (which is 1/4 vs 22 completed), they didn't look random to me at all (I took a screenshot each time it terminated). That's why I asked those questions.

Your bot may be cheating behind your back without you knowing it... ;)

BTW: I'm not complaining because of losing. It took me 1 hour 12 minutes to play 29 games, (that is 1 game every 2.5 minutes, I have the video), which is pretty much speed-gammon pace, and I came out winning 55 to 32. The points being low is due to your bot's not being capable of playing beavers, which doesn't allow the "cube skill thingy" to fully emerge and also takes the fun out of jacking up the cube. :(

Anothe question for you: If your bot doesn't allow beavers, why is there a yes/no flag for beavers in the cfg file?

Also, today I tried to play some more but accidentally clicked on "use clock" which widened the window and I couldn't revert back to board-only display. After poking around for 10 minutes, trying this and that, I got totally frustrated and closed it down. I had never tried your bot to this extent before. I'm really developing a dislike for it.

And, I must say, I'm developing a dislike for your not being forthright also. :(
