I don't want to shout 'conspiracy theory' but is it possible that FM is finally onto us for our exploitation of bot slowing methods? ..maybe they are scouting to determine your skill level, say for example, once you beat these TSM avatars, they set a new baseline level for the slowest bot you can get. If that were true, these avatars must also have a speed hierarchy.

A much less sinister theory is that FM decided to shake things up a bit and added some virtual friends for those who have none of their own.

PS: I'm just kidding. :P

PPS: Either way, I'm steering clear of these 'friends' till I know better. I just hope they are not stubborn and would let me eliminate them from my races without having to defeat them, like the regular TSM friends ;)
