Communal Bot League

bacillus:
Why not have a league for communal bots?
The only specifications would be that a bot has to show obvious pack hunting/colony behavior eg. communicate with others of its own species to aid conspecs. This would be a good place for bots like Spiral that are somewhere inbetween multibot and single bot.

gymsum:
Perhaps requirements include a defensive behavior, meaning it only attacks if attacked or threatened. Somewhere I've managed to make this for a conspec defense mechanism, I'll see if I cant dig it up as an example. Communal means symbiotic, there has to be eqaul trade among the species if they tie or info shoot. Also, what is a communal bot, is it a multibot or a single bot?

Why not?  Because it takes someone with the time, energy and dedication to run and manage it.  If you feel so inclined, by all means, please do so.  There is nothing I know of that prevents you running and managing your own league with your own rules on the current code base.  Fixes to any bugs you find that prevent it will be given high priority with a quick turn around time.

how is this done?

EricL:
I'm pretty sure the code only enforces specific environmental conditions for the F1 league.  Choose any other, like MB, then set up your own league file and directory with the txt files for the bots and run it like you would F1 only with whatever environment settings you like.  The code isn't going to check that you only have multibots in there for example.   I really haven't tested this mind you, but I think it works.  If you were really up for owning this, I could add a custom league buttom or even hard code certain settings for a specific league type....
