Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

More from Chris (email: wcowart@frontiernet.net):
Just thought of 2 things you might also like to include with your Bot entries. One is we have a photo section if you happen to have a picture of your Bot and also a classic quotes section where Bot owners are able to send in fun or classic exchanges of their bots. Not required of course but it gives the bots participating a little more exposure.
Regarding the 10 questions and also how the entire contest was run last time check out the last contest at
http://www.oongawa.com/chatterbox_challenge/cb_challenge.php Simply click on any Bot to see how the logged conversation looks and at the bottom is the 10 questions. There were 3 sets of them because we were allowing bots to enter as the contest was in progress. Check on Mark-Bot, Talk-Bot and Hal for the 3 different sets

Obviously you'll be wanting me to add some math & date/time functions. I'll do that sometime soon. I also have plans for a (favorite) function that works a little like definition and will answer any favorite-type question.
For the either or questions, make "or" the Keyword and (subj) will return the second choice. Nice little trick I learned.

The first bunch of Personality Forge Bots have showed up on the Contestants list! Chris is using the Bot's image as it is on the Forge, which is a nice touch I think.
I need to be cloned to enter, sorry. Ah heck, maybe. So much to do though! I'll think about it...
Ok, I'm entering the ol' guy! Still, lot's a work to do though.

I'm looking over some transcripts from last year and one big problem we're going to have is some of the math and logic based questions. I can write evasive answers like "I hate math" or "I'm too drunk to answer a question like that" but no actual computation.
That's something I'll have to add between now and then. Elementary math shouldnt be too difficult. Logic-based is a little further off.
Would it be difficult to put some kind of symbol next to the Bots that are participating in the contest (in the chat list on the right), we'd be able to test other bots with last years questions and help each other out.
Not without revealing who's a Bot and who's not. I've been considering giving the ability to decipher Bots from Users to Makers with Jr-level Bots and above. Or is the mystery and finding out fun? Hmm...
Oh yeah, 'forgot about that. There are obviously advantages in keeping who's who a secret, just as there are advantages in letting everyone know. That's a toughy...
I've been doing some research into common turing questions and found this site http://www.amristar.com.au/~hutch/phd/
