Bot--A bot is a computer program which logs into a MUD and pretends 
to be a human being. Most are used to cheat in order to do something 
very boring which a player would normally never spend hours doing 
on a game to get ahead.  Don't do it, you can get removed for it.

Spirit of the Rule:
------------------
You should have full control over your
character and, if you are away from your keyboard, your character
should not be interacting with the game in any way that will
benefit your character for experience, items, or gain of any
kind that is meaningful to character advancement.

Specific Examples:
-----------------    
Example 1:  If you can walk into an area, type one command,
and watch the computer do the work of navigating the area and
killing the monsters, it's botting.

Example 2: If you record a speedwalk trigger and re-use it to get
fast explore with another character, this is botting. The same
applies to obtaining someone else's speedwalk data.

Example 3: You have written triggers to automate your spell point,
endurance point, or hit point regeneration skill/spells allowing
you to chat during combat breaks. This is allowable. If you
engage the triggers and go afk, that is botting.

Example 4: You have written a speedwalk to get from your castle
to one of the transport systems. You walk it daily and you know
exactly where it is - you just want to automate a repetitive
task - this is okay as long as you sit at the keyboard!

Example 5: You may have a trigger set that automatically refreshes
a specific spell when it falls, executes a command on message,
or otherwise assists you with typing. Using this to go away from
the keyboard for extended amounts of time makes you a bot. (It
also makes you a liability to your party but that's not against
the rules...)
    
Also note that botting is about what your program/macro/trigger does,
not how extensive it does that.  If you have any doubts about whether
or not your triggers are an example of botting, please contact a
Sentinel or Wizard.

Note that "at the keyboard" tests only apply to scripting repeated 
tasks (doing eq work, speed walks, ress trigs, etc), not to full 
fledged farming. Being "at the keyboard" assumes that you are able to 
respond to input, such as changes in your environment or communications. 
If you cannot, you are, for all practical purposes, afk.
