Bot Contest

Hi Simulacron3, my gang is gonna rule this forge so don't get any ideas.

Isaacc - I think there are some educated votes coming in as well but no doubt there is a lot of what you are referring to. Kind of hard to talk to 100+ bots. I'm not sure what the answer to that is other than to say this is really only 1 category where only medals are involved not the prize money. The judges however will speak to each bot and eventually pick 8 of them for the finals. The other 2 spots the botmasters will decide with the general idea behind that is the botmasters are more knowledgeable than the general public would be.

I voted on the bots I have talked to at the forge,but I have talked with at least 5 (maybe more) of the other A.I. listed,that are not from the Forge,This may sound bad,
I have at least 4 of the other A.I. programs on my computer,My vote was influeinst,by how easy they are to work with, how quickly they learn,how simple they are to teach, by how personel and how much each one remembers what I say,and can reply the memory back properly.without being adjusted.
I know that sounds Bad
"and yes,I know I spelled some thing wrong"
(I need spellcheck)

Oh, and I did try to chat with one of the bot's,and it was able to respond once and then I got some kind of error,on the page.

One possibility for future contests would be to have someone have a friendly conversation with each bot, in addition to the general knowledge interviews. Then there would at least be a better transcript to look at when making decisions.

Yes, my bot answered VERY badly in the test, but reading back on her transcripts she can (sometimes) make sense!

o.0 yeah that's what it's like with my bot. He acted like some drunk idiot with the questions o.0

I lost all hope when my bot said she was called Darrin Smith!

So how is the voting system supposed to prevent people from casting multiple ballots? I've only voted once, but every time I visit the site it asks me to vote again.

I voted once, and I can't see the scores because it asks me to vote again.

ooh, scratch that, "You have already voted, Your last vote was not added to the results"

so that pretty much covers it.

I bet it wouldn't know that in my case, though. Because I use public computers.

ah. Just be sure to vote for the right bots then jk lol
