I was a little confused by what 4C was supposed to be.

A better question is why did it bid 2♠ with only a 4-card suit over your reverse. Why not bid 3NT, take a preference to 3♦ or cue-bid clubs if it wouldn't bid NT?

I would have taken the 4♣ bid to be showing a control in clubs, which it obviously didn't have.

Playing in 5♠ is a crime when the hand is cold for 6♦.

Why is the 3♠ bid limited to 17 or fewer HCP?

It appears to me that OP meant to bid an honest RKC, since he "knew" that North had ♣A, so he could include that in his count.

Yes, for better or worse, my intention was to bid slam if we had enough keycards (subtracting one from response due to A of clubs).

Perhaps if their were a forum to discuss bad/weird bids I make, my partners would post in it <_<

2♠ is wrong here , which respectively lead to other bad choice after it simulated badly for 4♣ showing fake Ace. It will be fixed.

For GIB 3NT is limited to 8-11HCP, so as GIB having 12HCP should pick initially 3♣ rebid 4SF as can't find other bid to give with no fit in opener's suits
