WCDT strips 4376-4380 (Oct 19th to Oct 23rd 2020)

Ok, but I actually understand not wanting BBQ sauce, tiny fish, or pickles on your pizza. Pineapple requires a bit of tanginess and spiciness to be added for most folks (habaneros) who snoot about it not belonging on pizza. BBQ sauce instead of marinara or tomato paste is just doing it wrong.
I know, I know. The reason pizza was invented technically means there's no wrong way to do it. Ox tail pizza and fish pizza are a thing. I'd be willing to wadger there's a pumpkin soup pizza somewhere, too. But, barbecue sauce makes far less sense than pineapples. Just saying.
EDIT
Right then. Tuesday I'll be swapping for a number between 1 and 10.

Strip up!
I don't normally get banned, but yeah that's typical of forum arguments.
(I had olives on a pizza recently. Was good. I like Ham & pineapple too.)
Penquin47:
It's a good argument! I think for me it would come down to how the AI are playing - if they're playing with controllers and completely separate Internet connection, then yes, they should be allowed to join, but if they're playing using direct interface, that's an advantage that would materially change the game for them and give them an advantage. A taller basketball player is still having to use the same skills and play by the same rules.
Gnabberwocky:
Hold separate tournaments. One is open to anyone using an external connection (humans and embodied AIs), and one is open to direct interface (AIs only). Computers that have spent several years with different learning processes will perform differently from each other, but will still be more effective than humans. That way you're not keeping anyone from playing, but you're not stacking the odds against the humans.
truestatic:
I'm on Greg's side on this one. Putting AI that don't make input errors in esports alongside humans is not comparable to disallowing tall people from playing basketball, it's comparable to allowing someone who makes every shot from anywhere on the court without fail, and effortlessly. In such a league, humans need not apply. If you allowed mixed play, humans would need their own human-only leagues to participate in competitive play at all. So... as Gnabberwocky said, make separate leagues. Just make a human only league and an all-comers league (which will, in practice, be an AI-only league.) My support for embodied AI play in the human league would depend upon how much stronger fine motor control is in embodied AIs, but I suspect... a lot better. So they'd need to be disallowed there too, probably.
BETTER COMPARISON: Flipping it around, letting humans join an esports league AI also play in is like writing into the rules that newborn babies are allowed to join the NBA. Except less balanced.
