Hi gotzl!

Where have you written this code?
I hope you did not written this method directly to the your bot? I mean to the subclass of Agent class?
It's stupid design-choice made by us that Agent is directly receiving messages - you can't override this method
like this because you will forbid OUR receiveMessage() to receive messages (at least you should call super.receiveMessage(e);).

But the preferred way to deal with messages is create anonymous classes (listeners) like this:

RcvMsgListener playerKilledListener = new RcvMsgListener() {
 @Override
 public void receiveMessage(RcvMsgEvent e)
 {
  switch(e.getMessage().type)
 {
  case PLAYER_KILLED:
   PlayerKilled? pk = (PlayerKilled)e.getMessage();
   break;
 }
}

};

and inside prePrepareAgent method register the listener like this:

body.addRcvMsgListener(playerKilledListener, EnumSet.of(MessageType.PLAYER_KILLER));

...

Back to your question - you're getting this many messages because Agent class is registering general
listener at the body ... this.body.addRcvMsgListener(this); ... therefore every message goes 
through your overriden method.

Hopefully I guessed correctly ;) or did I not?

Cheers!
