Can I get a copy of this bot software? I have access to several machines in a colocated facility. I could get a virtual machine running to run the bots..
At the time you wrote this, MuleBot04 was have a temperature issue and was throttling back, blew it out and it's been solid ever since, but now is down because it lost it's home (I was laid off at work and was forced to take the bot with me.)
The mule bots are simply computers running Mule with an automated chatter bot that controls the mouse and keyboard using set delays that should allow enough time between keystrokes for the game to keep up with the bot. Any computer produced in the last 10 years can do the job, but it can't be used for anything else, unless you run a virtual box, but that better be one hell of a computer in the first place.
The other issue is the port configuration for hosting. I was only able to have one bot server per server site. CCMulebot01 sits in a corner at my parents, no keyboard, mouse, or monitor, and I remote desktop in to service it when needed. CCMulebot04 was in the corner by my desk at work, same configuration minus .2 GHz on the CPU. Each bot has to have a unique external IP address, so it's damn near impossible to run multiple bots inside the same NAT router, you need a VPN or multiple internet accounts or get really creative with the proxy servers. I'm not enough of a networking guru to do any of that.
It would be nice to get a few more people running a dedicated bot, especially since I can now only run one for the time being.
