    (definitely not a lawyer) If you play multiplayer games (especially ranked stuff) you might be going against some “no botting” rule of that games tos.

      One clear and dry example of this that comes to mind is that Code Bullet got banned from JStris(or some other online tetris server?) because he was botting and not in their dedicated bot queue

        it’s jstris, and i really want to watch his bot get absolutely destroyed by one of the top players like firestorm or czsmall

        or another bot! tetris has had a pretty big following for the development of bots, and it’s basically min-maxed at this point. i want to watch CB’s bot get destroyed by cold clear running at 1.5pps.
