botwar
     
         the epic struggle of bots vying for dominance.
     
        botwars are generally and quite inappropriately carried out
        on talk systems, typically irc, where botwar crossfire
        such as pingflooding absorbs scarce server resources and
        obstructs human conversation.
     
        the wisdom of experience indicates that core wars, not
        talk systems, are the appropriate venue for aggressive bots
        and their botmasters.
