EyesWideShut: zleflin -- did you know that triple can host nearly an unlimited amount of bots without paying

EyesWideShut: google cloud console

zlefin: no, you should bring that up on the forum

zlefin: I recommend putting up a good forum post explaining your plan

EyesWideShut: basically, google cloud console allows for free headless servers up to a certain point.

EyesWideShut: because triplea isn't necessarilly something that takes up too much resources
EyesWideShut: you can set the headless server (from google) for literally thousands of bots as it's
EyesWideShut: built for something more advanced
calbears72_: revised - 402 for anyone looking for a game vs a discussion forum
EyesWideShut: but i'm not an administraor.
EyesWideShut: i'd be happy to help out if i were but no idea how that works

@zlefin I think @LaFayette is the one deciding about bots.

Sounds too good to be true to me.
