The current fix is only clannies can start games, and the bot auto hosts 4 games at once now. 4 should generally keep one game in the lobby at all times (for now). Depending on performance we may bump that up some still.

Alternately, we could get more people running host bots. I made a valent effort to break through the firewalls on my network, but the owner's multiple routers with passwords in chinese seem to have defeated me.

I volunteered to get one of these up, and the offer still stands if one of you guys can walk me through it. I have a cd-key I can use.

I prefer making the bot host myself so I can get ownership to get purple, balance the teams somewhat and kick afk/intensely flaming people.

It's saddening that people had to abuse the bot like this.

I do.

And cleverness should never be banned, no matter how infuriating it may be.
Abusing bugs(say, instantly killing somehow) plus intense flaming is the only thing I'd consider ban-worthy, and even then I'd still just kick as it's not my bot.
