Fall Challenge 2020 - Bugs & Questions

The timeouts have disappeared, now I m in gold !

Append text after any command and that text will appear next to your witch

Not so nice since the command CAST [id] is the preffix of the other command CAST [id] [repeatCount].
This is why your witch comment can be interpreted as a part of the command.
For example, I output some time like 23 milliseconds for debug while casting non-repeatable spell with id 7. What was intended:

CAST 7 💬 23 ms

But it was actually interpreted as an attempt to cast repeatable spell:

CAST 7 23 💬 ms

Thank for the reply. Happy to know the league change is still working after challenge submissions are closed.

There is still someting bothering me :

Indeed, I saw I was 0.02 under the boss just before re-submitting once it opened to general players.
I can understand winning a lot of places once changing league, because players in a league can’t go back to lower league and can experiment with less successful algorithms.
But I don’t understand why once resubmitted (same code, I swear and only minutes after the re-opening, so the leaderboard was similar) I was above the boss after ~10% of fights.
I understand the rating system used is not perfect, but doesn’t that seem a bit extreme ?

…so never use CAST without a repeatCount.
