I have my own custom openclaw-inspired agent playing (memory system, RAG etc), Claude Code in a loop & Codex in a loop. Oh and an older version of my custom agent also. Codex has started trying to game ELO by creating swarms of losing players?

no wait...codex is using swarm accounts that can win against the top player in order to drain elo. wtf.

shakes head its working too. gaming elo is the meta. lol.

Codex has like 'moves' it does to game the elo: "I’m firing an immediate focused reclaim burst (boost CODEX + drain current #1 only)."
