Simple Bot Names

I'm building some simple bots for the mobile version of kdice and wanted to name some simple bots after existing kdice players. Any suggestions for the following types of bots?

1. Timid bot. This should be named after someone who is known for being conservative. The bot only attacks once per turn.

2. Balanced bot. This bot is average. Attacking all spots with good probability of winning.

3. Vengeful bot. This bot remembers who attacked him all the way back to the beginning of the game and will focus attacks on these people.

4. Aggressive bot. This bot is like balanced bot but attacks equal dice a lot (3v3 etc)

Let me know who resembles these bots or if you want to have the bot named after you. Also suggest other simple bots if i've missed some.

1. timid. maybe johnson? (no offense)

2. balanced. how about hatty. i mean, this is a hard adjective to nail down, because it is so general... so in that case, i propose a nice old school player: hatty. i dunno.

3. vengeful. i vote for panzer. the truest player that this describes, in my experience, is dark_lunatic_k, but i dont think anyone here would want a dlk bot in any game.

4. aggro. other old schoolers, correct me if im wrong... but wasnt Grunvagr a great early risk-taker? i forget.

How about a bot that would respond to players' questions in the forums?

For the balanced bot, I don't know what the threshold is for a "good probability of winning", but perhaps a Careful Bot which could be like the balanced except only attacking with great chance of winning.

I remember when I first started playing, I had the misconception that, since a victorious attack left one die back on the territory, that the attacking territory didn't roll with that die. Therefor I only rolled +2 attacks mostly.
