Umm... who good is from WPI? No one who could challenge SiZZ as far as I know.
SiZZ was top 5 in QW.


OK.  Well the stooge bot can be tweaked to be made more human (like make it
rotate slower).  What if RB-Chaos has only played using a bot as described
up above?
We do not know.  All that we know is that he has always been good.  So we
respect him for being good.  However, unless you have seen him play in
person, he could be a bot.
That is the problem with Quake - people make friends with complete strangers,
with people who they never see, friends with a stream of 0's and 1's.
And how do they choose friends? On skill.
And how do we know these people really play and don't use bots? We just believe
so.
