What about a version of the continue-to-next round box which displays a pony face? If the image is much smaller than the usual riddlemaster (postage stamp size), it wouldn't take too long to load. It could be on a 15 to 30 second timer - the next round clear after the timer expires shows a face again and passing it resets the timer, so it would show up no more than 2 to 4 times a minute, but still often enough to make bot piloting a continuous-presence task. It would give no bonuses, and be in addition to the regular riddlemaster.
Also hard-limit the rate at which turns can be taken to something appropriate for human reaction speed, so there are no gains to be had from using a bot just for its being able to do more rounds per minute.
