Can't start a battle...

[PartyOfBardsS17]

This project looks great! I am building a similar project for a year long AI course. I tried running the bot and got a few problems. This issue appears to be that I can't start a battle because it can't find a room/doesn't know how to pick a format. I understand that you may not want to rework the code. But I would be super grateful if you would point me in the right direction. Below the error I got and the settings I used in the command line:

Could you put this in a Markdown code block, so it's easier to read?
