So I think some changes should happen with the disaster.  I think the reason for it was to weaken the bots, but as we've seen bots benefit (maybe even more so than before) from diasasters since they have new players right away and can scoop up massive coins because they are ahead of everyone else.

One thing that could possibly help is randominzing when new characters spawn during the disaster blocks.   I might create a character  right at the disaster, but he might not appear until 25 blocks later, or he might appear within the next block or 2.  I think this would level the playing field and give humans a fair shot.

I've been in front of my computer and have created characters right as the disaster happened but I am still no match for the bots.
