Bad Brotherly Habits
OK. I'm really sick and tired of what my 2 elder brothers are doing.
Situation: 2 brothers play online game. Both of them found a bot (auto-plays the game) and they haven't been the same since. As days pass, their greed becomes apparent. They leave both their PC and my dad's PC on 24/7 just because of the bot. I can't play because it's not allowed to be minimized, and it eats CPU usage (100% for 24/7) plus memory. My dad is also angry about this because it's a waste of electricity, and the PC could overheat, be extremely slow, crashy or just blow up when my brothers least expect it. My 2 elder brothers don't care, and they're botting just so they can prove they're good. My 3rd brother is also stingy with the PC, but at least he gives me an opportunity every now and then. My dad turns off the PC when he sees this, and he's reminding everyone about it... Nothing happens. What do you think of my situation? What should I do?

Report them to the server authorities.
They'll get banned and that's it. |

If they ask you to run the bot, say no.
If they insist, tell your dad. .... But you should give them a break now and then.

Things like this make me glad I didn't have older brothers!
What game, BTW?

Actually, Fifth's idea is a good one. Either that, or hack the bot to epic fail.

Bots run off of files right? Liek some sort of .Exe? If thats the case, delete the exe. I personally love fifths idea.
See my brother just plays on the computer all day, which is fine, he has a laptop which is WORSE then this pc but he plays WoW...pfft..WoW..

OK, I was thinking of methods for them to stop botting without them getting mad at me.

just ignore them and close it, your dad won't punish you anyways cause he thinks it's "bad" as well
reporting them would be really cheap and queer like. proper people don't do that

That's the danger of MMORPGs. I myself decided to try WoW to see what's so cool about that game and why people "dying" because of it. And so the result of experiment is about 2 weeks of WASTED time.
