Hey all, I just rediscovered this game after like 12 years. I'd really like to make a good first impression back and want to play with proper etiquette. I didn't realize that bots were even in the game, so my question (total n00b question) how do I tell who is a bot and who is not. I do not want to ruin someone's set by 2x tapping or farming them into oblivion. Thanks for reading and any feedback.

countrynames have capped 1st letter of all words.
Patience: Yep, I'm with ELK and Marshal.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

LadyGrizz boobies is fine

NOW3P: Morwen is a much harsher mistress than boredom....

I'm not sure that I got a message. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm thinking about joining the Alliance server when it resets. If anyone has any suggestions for a crew, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again!

As dittie says the bots with govts that have no BPT modifiers are landing around 240 cs. Theos are 166 I think and dicts are like 350 or something.. whatever is 65 bpt.

The names have several tells one of which marshal mentioned. they have like mixed and matched guild names, fantasy names, colors, materials, looks and locations in a handful of different types of combinators.

Here are some bot names from last express reset:
Percy Blackraven
Remote Rhinestone
Linyah Mujardin
Sienna Quality Storm
Lahorn above the Ghosts
Sangre Jack Redblade
Rebels out of Ijin

BUT be careful, there are players who try to impersonate bots so that you will break GDI on them and they can suicide you.
Last I saw this was 3 sets ago in express:
Lucille Brawl

A spy op migth tell but also experience will help you separate these ones 95-99% of the time. Thankfully they are not that common.

Bots have always played their turns. If your spy shows a bot build with turns stored it's a trap.
