Ants is over!

Why games count per player is so different? Between 5 and 20...

I'm also seeing extreme differences in number of games the bots have been in and it doesn't seem related to rank. Even after winning 6 out of 6 games, it still took ages before i finally got a seventh (where I then lost, d'oh!). I assume it will all be sorted out though; it just requires a lot of patience.

In the meantime, why not show each other some epic battles we've witnessed? I've captured a few here:

Just so you guys know:

Cutoff has been done and only the first 5000 bots are still playing.
You can see the cutoff state on the server statistics webpage.

A lot of servers are running right now (33 at the moment) So we could expect to have a great improvement of the game rate since cutoff will keep doing his job in a few hours.

Finals are now extended to Friday 23rd at 9PM EST.

And the cutoff is now lowering to 3000 over the next 2 hours.

i must say i am now more confident for a convergence on friday: top 100 begins to take shape ( and i am moving to the bottom of it ) probably not a total convergence on friday, but after all i dont really care if i am 97 or 107 .... but its important to discriminate between rank 7 and 17 . IE the cuttof could probably extend way beyonfdthe 500 proposed by jansert at the end of the contest : i ll be ok to watch 2 hours of matches only between top 20 bots (could you technically duplicate teh bots to run the same match in parralllel with differents seeds for the top 20 at the very end? ), to sort them super accuratly
