Let me get this straight. I think you are saying that IdiotBot actually
knew the stones were dead and correctly said so. But HouseBot didn't
speak up for itself nor did it bother to capture the dead stones and
the only way for the server to resolve this is to assume everything is
alive.
I think this is correct and how it should be done if I'm understanding
it correctly
I don't know what IdiotBot said, because I don't have access to the
logs. From what Aloril says, his IdiotBot said "those black stones are
dead", but HouseBot failed to respond "ok then"; and this triggered the
clean-up phase, which again HouseBot did not understand.
I like the protocol, because you don't have to implement it,
but if you don't you should clean up opponents dead stones before
passing.
I like it too. But bots which fail to support it will continue to lose
games as a consequence.
I shall change the page, and avoid saying that IdiotBot claimed its dead
stones were alive.
