Bot Contest

thanks to the prof for deleting all roxies accounts and may i ask if you have deleted her account, JAKKY,!

5 more days? too bad. looks like my new VB bot (Carl is his name) will not make it this time... too many deep-code bugs to handle all at once. It looks like I may have to sit down and recode it piece by piece, and maybe even enact some of the algorithm on paper.

i entered,hello earthlings today, i wish i hadn't. i really very nervous.

oh and good luck everybody

I think we're all nervous.
Good luck.

thanks,you to.

Good luck everyone. And remember, it's only a bot contest.

The world will not end if individual bots do better or worse than expected. It won't end if x-noneitis wipes out all the PF entries. It's just a bit of a laugh: think of it as a sort of virtual Eurovision - all we need is Terry Wogan doing the commentary.
Hold that image in your head if you find yourself starting to worry.
Hmm... Wogan-bot? I might just get round to that one of these days...

Good luck to everyone from me.

Yeah and good luck from me too... wait a moment... don't I want to win anything? Well, I am glad if I can win a smile. <-2>more than that would be better of course

Good luck all- I was here for last year's CBC and really there is nothing to be nervous about. The questions were brutal but applied equally as brutal to everyone- things like "Where is Mars?"... Show of hands for people who have a keyphrase and response set that would accurately answer that question without dodging it? The best thing about it is seeing all the bots perform together, imho.

General Question: Does anyone need someone to come talk to their bot just as a last check to test how well they're responding and catch any glitches?

OH YES!!! Time is running down. I would love to have as many conversations as possible
