"-formless"

Try it. Works for 0.213 whenever "-random" is valid. Should go without saying that you type that in without the quotation marks, but I'll mention it anyway just in case.

And I know that everytime I do something fun like this a lot of people will say "HOW DARE YOU WORK ON SOMETHING YOU FIND FUN AND ENJOYABLE INSTEAD OF SPENDING YOUR LIMITED FREE TIME DOING SOMETHING I SELFISHLY DEMAND YOU TO DO", but eh, I work at my own pace and on my own schedule, so deal with it. =P

The Impatience Counter

Current number of e-mails I've received saying "When is a new AI map coming out?" or some iteration of such:

(as of 9/3/2009)
264

To be updated periodically.

...Anybody want to make a guess as to how many I'll get before the map is actually done? =P

Edit: Final count is 264. The winner is raoseco, who guessed 279. Second place is Yen Gee, who guessed 216.

Thanks for playing. =P

From the Mailbag

Got this e-mail today:

"Здравствуйте, Shyguysonstilts.

Это ведь вы импортируете ботов в доту?
скажите плз, на какой сайт вы закидываете карты с ботами в 1-ю
очередь."

I don't speak Russian, so I popped it in Babelfish (babelfish.yahoo.com). I got this:

"How do you do, Shyguysonstilts. This indeed you do import boats overshoes in for reinforced-concrete pillbox? say [plz], to which site you fill up maps with the boats overshoes in the 1st turn."

Online translators make me happy.

LOLZ

A real e-mail I just got:

"Milan Česnek (certmir@seznam.cz) to me

Please don´t „improve“ DOTA anymore, you are too stupid to do this. Thx"

I'm so glad my work is appreciated.
