Choice of opponents

Hmm, I wonder if voidious.Dookious, sample.TrackFire, and bestaspirant.Aspirant_winner are the best choices really. I think Dookious is likely strong to such a point that the outcome of matches with it is probably predominantly random noise until you get to a certain strength level, and I think sample.TrackFire might be a bit too atypical of what's out there. In my mind it would make more sense to maybe choose something like:

• a mid strength head-on-targeter (hopefully to teach it of head-on avoidance)
• a rambot (there are a few of them out there, it's good to learn how to avoid them)
• and a non-top nano patternmatcher (there are quite a number of simple patternmatcher guns out there).

or maybe replace the rambot with some non-patternmatcher mid strength nanobot if you decide to not care about rammers. In addition, getting a learning-heavy bot like Dookious out of the mix would make it possible to run a bit faster. What do others think? --Rednaxela 16:57, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
