"4 blocks ahead" of bots has not much value. You can see many big coins(100 HUCs to 1000 HUCs) in eight big pools and center pool, but the bots can not get coins in such place. if the bots reach there, bots will all be killed by human, because the entrance is narrow. And the number of characters created by human is more than 10 or 20 times of bots.
ok do this:
wait 2 hours, open my client, search for names that start with bgb and sum the amount they are holding (they are just a subset of bots running atm, just open the map and look the situation)
in the middle there are big coins but FEW, while on the rest of the map there are breadcrumb often > 50 hucs and are easily collectable if you arrive first, i don't get why you are defending that bot advantage..
The bots can only get coins in pools near home. If bots enter into big pools, all will be killed by followed characters in narrow entrance. After disaster, you can see more than 80% coins are far from home. The comparison of bgb and other characters after 2 hours can not uncover the fact: The task of followed characters is to block the entrance, killing any bots coming into big pools when bots return home, then they can collect all at any time.
