AI is READY!!! OBEY - v37r6
After 3 months of intense coding...
AI can use the robot, and a huge amount AI bugs have been fixed. There is still more to do, but (unless serious bugs are found) I will now be moving on to issues directly related to getting more players in here. If you notice that the AI acts unacceptably strange or buggy in certain situations, or can reliably be fooled in a silly way, please report it in the forum. Be aware that sometimes strange behavior can be map specific. A special thanks to all of you who have helped me test the AI thus far ^_^ The great news is that there are no more tasks as difficult as the one just completed! It will be mostly polish and features to be added from now until full release (which I am speculating will be around March). Here are the patch notes:

Hi Everyone!
THE LAST BIG HURDLE BEFORE RELEASE HAS BEEN CROSSED!
After 3 months of intense coding...
I am happy to announce that the first version of OBEY with shippable AI is now in place! :D

- Robo AI is in place.
- huge bunny AI improvements & bug fixes
- fixed AI bug where sometimes an AI in the dropship would not update their behavior
- AI bots now sometimes flatter the robo player.
- AI bots now sometimes threaten or express frustration with a bunny.
- reduced spam of in-game hint if spectator tries to speak while being the only spectator
- added "whenEmptyPauseAI" setting that greatly reduces cpu cycles if no humans are playing (default: true)
- bots let players know they are ai if human tries to chat with them
- translation improvements
- Unity upgrade to 5.2.2f1

OBEY is a highly asymmetrical multiplayer game.
We've all played games where you send commands to AI units or teammates.
OBEY instead puts you in the position to command your enemies (human opponents), and to be commanded by them. Players are always free to obey/disobey. It is always up to players to deal with the consequences of their decisions in the game.
You win by bribing and coercing your opponents to do things against their own self interest (and in your interest).
If you are being coerced you have only stealth, intelligence, trickery, and creativity to escape.
OBEY is sort of like Counter Strike Jailbreak Mod meets Spy Party.
OBEY's social aspects have also been compared to Trouble in Terrorist Town and Town of Salem.
To win, make more money than any one else by the end of the round.
To make the most money, take command of the giant robot (the robot player makes 10x more than the other players per second)
You take control of it by walking into a door at the base of the robot.
The player in the robot can easily destroy any player he sees trying to approach (IF he sees them).
That’s the basics – so superficially, it plays like ‘king of the hill’.
However...
Experienced robot players will know that it is not always in their interest to simply kill approaching players.
Why not? Because he can instead coerce them to do what he wants.
and that’s where the game gets interesting…

NOTES ABOUT GAMEPLAY:
- When playing as robo... you are free to shoot everything that moves (and this might even work against friends or new players), but if you just use this against experienced players you will get subverted, and you will lose. You want your opponents controlled, not hidden and out to subvert you...
- When playing as a bunny... trying to constantly subvert in the face of an experienced robo is a terrible idea: you will spend most of your game waiting to spawn. OBEY rewards using TRICKERY, STEALTH, and INTELLIGENCE. OBEY does not reward constant blind 'guns blazing' rushing to the robot. (But what did you expect? you are a baby bunny .vs an enormous mecha-canon-turret).
REMEMBER: You will be playing against other human beings - they can not be fooled as easily as AI!
