Bot Contest

theve all gone up 1 vote since you last posted Prudentia

so,how long does this 'voting' go on for??

30 april...

Can we vote more than once?

No, I think that the polling company, that runs the vote, has safeguards agains that.

*The voting is being monitored for voting fraud. All such ballots will be removed.

no, you can't! once you've voted you've voted!!! i wanted to vote for my own bot but i thought that was a bit stupid... 30 april huh!!! and i thought it only lasted 1 week!

Those who know many people to vote for their bot, would have the best results. And botmasters who don't know anyone to vote for their bots always having the worst chances. That really would be unfair.

what do you mean,lady orchid?

The vote is just one part..So it isn't really unfair. ALthough maybe not perfect, The Chatterbox Challenge is pretty good at being fair. Take a look at the past contests and I think you see they did pretty good.

Yes, and the public voting is only for the category of most popular bot. There's best learning bot, best new bot, and the top 3 overall too, which are decided by the judges' marks. No system's perfect, but they seem to do a pretty good job of it.
I wonder when we'll know who the finalists are - do you think we have to wait until the end, or will they publish them sooner? I guess it might prejudice the casting of public votes, so maybe we won't know till after that finishes.

One who has 50 people voting publicly has more votes than one who has just one or two voting for his bot. So it is unfair.

It was so hard to vote... I love Sonora, Orchid, Watzer, Bildgesmythe, Brother Jerome, Croak, Fizzy Schizoid, Hello Earthlings and the other PF-bots...
