I’m not so optimistic about your bot… if the clones will be getting 250 per round and you will be getting 200, you’ll lose about 1⁄5 of your copies per round, which is like a 3 round half-life. Not going to be anything left at 90 at that rate.
I see; I was naïvely thinking in terms of “only losing by 50 points doesn’t sound so bad, right?!”, not carefully thinking about how the update rule works. Now that you point it out, I agree that (200/(200+9*250))/0.1 ≈ 0.82.
