Test for bot accounts

A proof-of-concept that allows a silly picking-pennies-up-off-the-ground attack on some automated traders as they apparently currently exist. Getting 7 participants implies that I'm picking up pennies off the ground for every run of this market (+$M10 from the system bonus) and you're picking up pennies off the ground that an easily-taunted trading bot drops on the floor. You're effectively betting against the bots' programming getting more sophisticated before close (assuming someone bothers to try to attack the bots somehow).

May close early if YES. This is a rerun of the experiment to see if the exploit still is viable.

Acc is back.

Oh, so Michael's bot now has a filter for exploiters ? Nice

@Odoacre its always had that, its got a list of whalers, a list of blacklisted accounts etc, and i recently got added to it, so it knows not to bet on my markets much. Checks the user ID against that list before making a bet. So, i pass that torch on now :)
