Overall league thoughts
Peter:
Did the F2 evolve ?

What I mean is that F2 didn't always have its current rules, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there were some things allowed in F2 that still made the bots too powerful and "F1-like". Maybe they didn't change the rules, but instead changed the behavior of shell and stuff... I don't remember.
Anyway, that's not the point. The point was that we don't need to make perfect rules now, since we'll probably change them later anyway (like what you're trying to do with F2 now). Like that method of making laws, whatever it was called, where the government starts out with only a few laws and whenever something happens that is unethical and not covered by current laws, it's added as unlawful. Better than trying to think up of every single thing that someone could do wrong...
bacillus:
I think the real problem is that, say with the single-MB league, that there's no way to control what happens when an organism 'accidentally' splits in half. Is that bot eliminated, or does one half just get destroyed, or is it ignored? How does the program handle that?
Numsgil:
I think the main issue with the league at present is balance issues and unplugged exploits. The core is there for interesting behavior, but it's been overpowered by unintended consequences of new features, or unbalanced-ness to begin with.
abyaly:
Speaking of unplugged exploits, I think I'll make a simple F3 bot tonight to get the ball rolling.
