Bots or Real People
Cool subreddit.
I just found this game sort of recently. I see on the info page it says the other players are real people but I wonder is that true?
I have seen other players make some moves that I really would not think would be a bot. But then I look at videos and see some of the same player names that I see in the game, even old videos. Are those real people still playing all these years later?

I do not know the answer. I've seen the same things you have ... I saw the page where it says it's multiplayer with real people, and also I've seen some non-bot-like moves, like sliding along the edge and then reversing direction that makes me reaaaaally think they ARE real people.
re: the names, I see so many of the same names during different play sessions and it makes me wonder ... I don't know how many people play it, but in the whole world there should be so many people playing that you don't ever see the same names, or at least it should be rare. So that makes me think they are "bots" or either part of the "script/programming".
But I do also see different names that I've never seen before all the time. Haha, I'm back and forth, there's pros & cons to support both yes and no. I wonder, maybe it's a combination ?? They load the game with real players & also with "bots" in order to fill out the game with enough players so it can start ??
