Hi Uwe!
I'm going to take a break from the game and will play as badly as possible so that I get relegated. However, I have just seen in the match against you that even a defender can hold 3 balls as a goalkeeper . . .
I do not like bots in a game that is actually designed for real people to compete against each other. But what are "real" people on the blockchain anyway? Of course, I'm aware that bots can't be banned, but for me that's a big issue in regards to fairness and fairplay!
I really miss the sportmanship like in real life. No one would take part in competitions or the Olympic Games for exanple as an athlete, if forbidden doping substances could be used by anyone. Using bots in an online game is like doping in real competition. That's my opinion about it.
If @twinner can make 200 scouts with just one click, then that's just unfair to everyone else who gives up in frustration after 20 clicks and mostly drawn studs. If this function of mass scouts should then be integrated into the game (as suggested by him), then the game is led ad absurdum. Then we can just let bots play against each other.
No, I'm not going along with that. In the future, I will occasionally play in the lower tiers and hope that I don't encounter any bots there. I have lost interest and joy to play - like others before me (e.g. @redpalestino).
Enjoy a fresh !BEER 🍺 and have a nice day! Cheers!

Well, what can I say - everyone has its own thoughts about anything so even I do not agree with a lot you say I have to accept it. Bots in blockchain are normal, even in outside blockchain environments they are common, chat bots in e-commerce etc.
I am pretty sure over 50% of Olympic athletes (even in team sports) are using doping as this is simply a business, sportsmanship is not existing where the big money is.
Uwe, this is a very disappointing reply! You seriously compare chat bots with game bots like they are used in Rabona??
Chat bots (do I really need to tell you this?) are service tools to communicate with customers to send automated messages whereas the bot used by @twinner and others are tools to serve alone and only for themselves and don't do any good for others!
You seem to have a very negative picture of athletes in general. "Over 50%" means the majority of athletes are betrayers and criminals! I do not think so!
But . . . in case you are right, then wouldn't it be a great signal to establish some kind of ethical standard and fairplay within the little game world of Rabona? Do we really want to mimic the bad behaviour of the "outside" world?
In Rabona no big money is involved, so this would be a great chance to establish some sportmanship and fairness.
You are a teammember of Rabona! I suggest you discuss this topic with the Rabona team to find a solution.
Please let me know what you think about it.
I appreciate and accept your opinion of course, but we had the discussion about bots months ago in the Discord before i joined the team and I thought this is over now given there are not a lot bots compared to other games here - the decision was Rabona will not ban bots as it is against any rules of de-centralized blockchains.
Sure I can discuss again with the team but honestly I would have no idea how to stop a bot, that is not that easy and we do not desire to kickout players when they are simply smart. Right now the prize of RBN is pretty low, we need to focus on important things like tournaments which is already a challenge in a small team with normal jobs. When we have this and the RBN prize moves up we might re-discuss that again (the higher the prize the more bots usually to expect, look at Splinterlands.
What would be your suggestion then? @actifit-peter
More a negative picture around rules of the corrupt sports federations - athletes want to win and they use what it takes usually.
Sorry, I didn't follow the discord discussion and didn't know that it was already discussed. I wrote a couple of minutes ago a comment on discord. You might be interested to read it.
I suggest implementing captchas before submitting formations to block bots.This in combination with a statement on rabona.io something like this:
"Please do not use bots or scripts to enhance your chance of winnimg! Be a fair player, this way we are all winners!"
What do you think?
Not using any online service at all that wants me to solve captcha and think we had such a discussion also long ago - but if majority would prefer that why not, however I would stop playing then for sure:-)
Hi Peter,
I often recommended the team to introduce a "mass scout" button for players. If they don't do that, than this is not my fault. And I can assure you that I only try to help the team and don't want to attack the game, even if I sometimes go to the limits (meaning playing the maximum that possible), just to show that the game needs to be improved.
Ok, thanks Stefan, got your point!
