Yeah. Maybe if we asked Wendell he'd tell us? Can't be classified information - the running total was there all month after all.

Why is Motbot up so high? I remember some here had the same when talking to him, he was doing really poor.

I have no idea. Motbot was rated really poorly by the judges. Maybe his creator has a lot of friends?

@Lady Orchid
Last time I looked, your bot had 50 votes.
And Motbot? I haven't the slightest idea why someone should vote for him. The homepage of its programmer looks awful and his german is nearly as crappy as his english (although he tries hard to give an idea of professionality...). Hard to believe that this bot has fans. o.O
However. That's just the popularity-contest. So there's no real harm done. You all know how great your bots are.
And of course congratulations psimagus and FengShuiGorilla. I'll cross my fingers for the finals.

That happened last year - there was an AIM bot that raced to the top of the popularity part of the contest because the creator had a lot of AOL buddies that voted for him.
I've found that the popularity part really has little to do with the technical goodness of the bot.

12 finalist have been selected for the 2006 CBC. They are in alphabetical order:
1) Alice
2) Aries
3) Bildgesmythe
4) Brother Jerome
5) Elbot
6) Ella
7) Jabberwacky
8) Jabberwock
9) Joan
10) Landru
11) Mathetes
12) Talk-Bot
Bildgesmythe received the highest number of votes but with so many bots to pick from and many botmasters not voting it was a rather bunched field. With that said 2 additional bots were added but it wasn't based soley on the botmaster votes. The 10 questions score was looked at, the ranking in the online voting, and past performance in previous CBC contest.
