    can someone please tell me what they would sue a bot-user for ?

    The Bot player has done no damage to the server or aquired any money illegally with the use of the bot. He has done no physical damage to anyhting. Bots do not hack anything, they are just a script which does the same a human can do. The do not run at the Evony End, they run at the user-end, so no data has been compromised (at least not Evony's).

    So what exactly are they going to sue bot-users for ? Fresh Air ?

    Well you technically can file a civil claims lawsuit in many jurisdictions in the US for pretty much any reason; winning one on the otherhand is a different story.

    They could claim that they were damaged because the person wore pink pajamas while playing and that offended a group of people. Silly I know, but still possible.

    The argument they might have is excessive use of bandwidth but that went out years ago when a judge agreed that a accessing a publicly accessible internet address is no different than a mass of people standing on the sidewalk in front of a store.

    Now what they can be getting into hot water over is the threats of lawsuits against players/customers - right there US citizens should be notifying their local standards boards/FTC asking for an investigation. Unfair or harassing business tactics are usually frowned upon.

    If anyone is interested in contacting evony's hosting provider, it is m5hosting out of San Diego. They are resellers of AIS data center services (I just know because I have space there as well) so you could contact AIS with complaints as well.
