This problem is a social engineering problem by construction. The game won't go to the bot with the cleverest code, it will go to the bot that best guesses the composition of the playing field.

True. I just think things are more interesting if you let that composition grow out of everyone's isolated ideas instead of gardening it ahead of time. Bearing your judge quote in mind, I should have said something earlier.
