  • Me, my NooBGee and my Buggy McXGee

    From MK@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 21 13:08:45 2023
    I just wanted to say a few words about why I am
    harping on Gnubg and XG being such buggy bots.

    It is not to help their developers in debugging and
    improving them. They possibly have not 10 or 20,
    but 50 or 100 or more bugs and I have no interest
    in making a project of discovering more of them.

    As it should be obvious by now, may main goal in
    using these bots is to do whatever experiments I
    can imagine in order to demonstrate/debunk what
    I see as a bunch of bullshit skill/luck theories that
    mentally ill gambler programmers, arithmeticians,
    mathematicians, etc. have fantasized/fabricated
    in trying to make something out gamblegammon
    that it can not be.

    Along the way, I am painstakingly reporting bugs
    that I encounter in order to make you all question
    what else bugs could be in those bots causing all
    kinds of errors in equity estimates, checker/cube
    decisions, rollouts, etc. that you endlessly discuss
    and defer to every day.

    It would be naive to think that these bots have only
    harmless GUI bugs and to deny more serious ones,
    (even the many that I demonstrated here, which are
    likely only the tip of the iceberg, since there are so
    many other areas of the bots that I have no interest
    in and never go into).

    In a world where 97% of 8 billion people still believe
    in all sorts of gods, angels, souls, spirits, etc. I don't
    expect to have any effect on you flock's stopping to
    worship your bots but I enjoy spending time in RGB...

    Click!

    BTW: I have noticed something strange.
    While many people made comments in
    various threads that I started about Gnubg,
    nobody said even a single word in several
    other thread that I started about XG. Why
    is the fear to open your mouths about it..?

    Also, since it has been an abandonware for
    so many years, I'll start calling it Ex-Gee... :)
