FIBS Board backgammon forum

RepBot is nice when a someone is inviting, but when you want to choose someone to invite it's boring to ask the reputation for everyone. I prefer to have the droppers marked as villians, so I have visual clue and who to pick.

I made a perl script that fetches the http://www.fibs.com/savedgames/ (http://www.fibs.com/savedgames/) page and extract all the droppers (with more saved games then a configurable limit). It filters the known bots, and can print the droppers ordered and grouped by saved game count, or in the JavaFIBS villians file format, so you can do:

perl fibs_droppers.pl -j > JavaFIBS2001/user/barrett/villains

then run JavaFIBS and have all the droppers in your villains list.

Check the code from the wiki:
http://wiki.9hells.org/Fibs_droppers.pl (http://wiki.9hells.org/Fibs_droppers.pl)

or download directly from:
http://barrett.9hells.org/code/fibs_droppers.txt (http://barrett.9hells.org/code/fibs_droppers.txt)
then rename from .txt to .pl

Great idea, Barrett.  If it works, what a nice feature.
