Questionable chop moves of trash cards #334

Open flackr opened 2 months ago

flackr commented 2 months ago

Version (PM the bot with /version): v1.5.1 Convention settings: /setall 11 Steps to reproduce or replay link: https://hanab.live/replay/1222803#35 Additional information: robot1 clues 1 to flackr chop moving the b4 and trash g2. Given that b4 is second to last to play it doesn't seem super urgent to chop move at the cost of also chop moving a trash card.

This is done to avoid a bottom-deck risk, since that has a chance of losing the game even though it's a 4. The loss of one slot is usually an acceptable tradeoff when preventing a BDR, though it depends on the current danger level (e.g. probably not worth if the team is already struggling to save other useful cards). Currently, the bot won't perform a Trash Chop Move that saves 2 trash cards for 1 card, but it doesn't perform any more detailed analysis than that. I'm open to suggestions if you want to refine it.

(Semi-related, the bots did a few weird things in this game like not giving save clues. That should be fixed in the next update.)
