I would say: this group become a joke mainly because all the stupid players 
playing Creature are posting to this newsgroup. (I wait for your flames!!!!)
They think because they are thinking they are playing (and testing) AI there
postings are in the right group. But no, they are only playing with AI not
testing or even thinking about AI. Its just a game. And I don't believe that
its's actual AI behind that stuff. But, who knows. Because its a commercial
game you will newer know. It would be better to think how things like Creature
can be created as a Freeware game. (Shouldn't be to difficult. But it will take
some time)

Yes comp.ai.game.theory would be a better name. Why don't we change it?
Actually I have no real problem with the stupid posting (about Creature)
in this group. This group newer expire on my system, so no posting will
ever be deleted. What I will do next is writing a filter to filter out
all the Creature stuff immediately before it gets into my news-system.


Waiting for many flames,
