Go up one level in this thread


My current baseline is called "Bureaucrat" because it makes
random moves. (Yes, literally.) Don't worry, it is part of a
larger plan. Anyway, I have a random-mover.

The name? It's because of that property of bureaucrats : they
follow the rules precisely but with no understanding whatsoever.
They make perfect legal moves but are essentially brain-dead.
