Improvements

Wow! This is probably the closest a stable PM bot has ever gotten to dethroning LBB 1.69e. It only has about .3 APS to go!

It seems like we could gain that much just by fine-tuning constants. Any suggestions?

    Yeah, clearly less aggressive distancing and bullet power helps out a bunch here. Now that we've changed the default distance we also need to change the reverse probability, all those need to go to 29. Also, I really wonder if there isn't some way to reduce the number of sacrifice rounds at the beginning against top-bots. Perhaps have something like what I do in Toorkild with using total enemy damage received to trip the movement modes instead of number of deaths.

      Hmm, fewer exploitative rounds would almost certainly increase PL--er, PWIN, but it might reduce APS against weak bots. I suppose we could try going back to four rounds of exploitative movement and see if that helps.

      I don't see any plausible mode-selection other than the one we have now. The amount of Codesize we have to work with is far too small to even implement something like Splinter's, let alone Toorkild's.

        You could always enter a few new bots that LBB doesn't have data on. ;) Seems kinda cheap, but hey, you live by the black book, you die by the black book...

          I wonder what would happen to the ranking if hideEnemyNames was set to true.
