The artificial intelligence component of the PBP Simulator Beta Test is now up and LIVE for you to play around with. There's a link at the bottom of the menu page that explains all of the choices, with a brief conceptual blurb for each one and a more detailed explanation of the decision making process for each choice. A couple of important things to note:
1.) Even though the tag option's there, it obviously doesn't do anything because I haven't enabled tag for testing yet. You can let your mind run wild with the possibilities, though.
2.) None of these choices are optimized to be perfect. These are much more designed with character and flavor in mind than with machine-like precision as our main goal. We want Wolf to feel like Wolf and take the big risks. We want Lord Nexus going up to the top every time but keeping the action in the ring. We want the Mutant to pick his nose and then make random decisions. These give you the flexibility to set the guys to wrestle the way you think they should.
3.) When this eventually goes live, every wrestler in the system (yes, EVERY WRESTLER) will have default attributes for all of these sections which will be available for viewing in the gallery, so you'll be able to compare Thantos' default style to that of Chaos. You'll have the option when you start a match of using a character's defaults or setting your own information for that character for that match, letting you turn off Star Warrior's goody-two-shoes ways for a Titan Death Match. You'll also have tools to redefine someone's defaults for your game. Want Krakan to wrestle like a good guy for a stretch of matches to further an angle? You'll be able to do that.
