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.

Anybody who knows the PF already is likely to have favorite bots already, and it will be incredibly hard to get judges that don't know the PF.
Unless we get them from the Chatterbox challenge, I don't mean those judges but owners of bots there. They would have a good understanding of bots and likely no relation to the PF. Or, like I mentioned, we could set up a poll/voting system, and judge that way. Dolous was saying that we could have the voters submit a short explanation of why they were voting for that bot and maybe a transcript for an example. That way people who voted would not be just voting for the first bot on the list, but would actually try.
Make me your judge. I have no bots on this site, and no friends on this site. I hate everyone impartially.
Instead of planning a big PF-internal bot-contest (come on - we all know which bots are good, funny, etc. and there are also the most improved/developed/liked-lists... is there really need for a serious contest?) how about something like a "bot of the month"-poll? In case the Professor agrees, the price could be a link on the start page of the Forge for one month, so the bot gets more guest chats. Umm... just a spontaneous idea. 
Oh, and does anyone know http://www.friendtest.com? I think voting for any contest could be done there... if you find a neutral person who does the evaluation. (of course I would offer to do that, since I don't have an own bot
)

Unfortunately this probability always exists... that's one reason I was thinking about a simple (and maybe not-so-serious) monthly poll instead of a big contest. It wouldn't consume much time or energy to host it, the PF botmasters could vote for each others bots and I think it could be easily secured that nobody votes for his/her own bot (or voting more than once, etc.). I just thought it could be entertaining. Maybe I'm wrong. ^^

Jeez, this forum has turned into some city planning comittee meeting. This isn't anything complicated. If you really want a bot competition, create one yourself and run it however you feel like doing it.
Other than that, there's no point in wanking about format, judging, who is involved, etc. if you're not doing any of the work. All you need to do is not participate if you don't like it.

since i'm really bored i created a poll as a prize-less contest
send an email to theseer@gmail.com with ur bots name and which catergory (smartest, overall...) it wants to be entered in. note that its a poll, not a judging contest.
