[BOT]Skulker can play soccer

I played soccer today on the official map (server#3) with Skulker on my team. He was aiming at one goal, blocking the ball when it headed for the other goal, and getting credit for lots of scores. Just one little problem, he seemed to be playing for the wrong team.
Skulker generally pushed the ball toward his own team's goal.
When I was taking shots on the other team's goal, Skulker consistently got in the way then guided the ball safely away from the other team's goal (usually to the right).
When the ball was near our goal Skulker stood back and shot from the far side of the goal, good strategy for making a goal (if he were on the other team :p)
And every time I managed to push past Skulker and score a goal on the other team, Skulker got credit for the shot (except in one case out of about 10).
The game was all bots except for me, and Skulker rarely got blasted (maybe the other bots knew that killing him was counterproductive), so I got to see Skulker in action quite a lot. My impression is that someone programmed Skulker to play soccer fairly well, but for the wrong team.

I think that names with [BOT] should be disallowed, for obvious reasions.

When we get clan registration in (and the name limiting that goes with it), the [BOT] clan will be taken... Till then we may overlook such questionable pseudonyms. ;)
