Should this be WOF? What kind of zombie is it?

yu are right. they are ranters 

read the rules

the rules

what do ranters do?

Ranters make random moves 50% of the time and comfuter moves the other 50% of the time

maybe make it normal teams, no alternates

but then people will always win

It is WOF

CGA?

Yep, we've added it to our testing list.

thanks

When I first made that comment,  it was an NCP

that's true

ah... CGA's? sorry if I'm pushing you. It's just that there are no recent NCPs or WOFs. Why havent you tested?

Bien au contraire, monsieur.

In fact, three out of the five WOF tournaments from this past week featured brand-new, never-before seen custom positions. To say that there are no recent WOFs is just untrue.

To your other point, your position will be tested, shortly. We add the WOF tournaments as a batch for each week, so even if we had tested this within an hour of posting it, and accepted it, it would still not be featured until next Monday at the earliest. That is still the case, and rest assured, if accepted, this will feature sometime next week.

I thought they only came in forums

They do.

So a few things:

1) Teams doesn't work with Zombies

2) WOF should be about luck. The only luck involved here is if you decide to start capturing zombie kings at the beginning. The smarter play is just to go for the quick mate on the bots.

3) Easy mate on Green by Red, and on Blue by Yellow, so the bots are essentially non-players.

4) After the bots are out, it really really drags on. The bottleneck at the middle just slows things down even more.

I really like the position though, there's a decision about whether to gain a few "free" points at the beginning before taking the quick mate on the bot. Unfortunately, this is easily countered if your opposite just farms his bot as well. The sad part is that there's just no advantage to be gained by either player in the endgame. Nice try, but for now,
