Bot Contest

EXCELLENT!!

Congratulations Psimagus, Prob123, and FengShuiGorilla! Like Wendell said, this is the first time PF bots have hit the top three in the overall contest! I'm THRILLED!!

I've updated the home page and the hall of fame with the new winners, both in recognition of your hard work and to produce more chats for you as well.

For those that didnt win, I'd like to remind you, as I do every year, that making bots is enjoyable in itself. The goal isnt to win a contest, but to have fun and explore AI and laugh. So keep the good times rolling.

exactally. I really enjoy this as a hobby... i wish i had time to make it a life thing... but you know what i mean.

Anyway.<+2> WAY TO GO YOU TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <0>

Now that it is over, can we post the final questions (for anyone that might be interested)?

Do you mean guest 148? I thought Aries actually didn't do to bad with the questions - I didn't expect him to land in the top 3 but didn't think he'd drop below last years ranking of 6th..

Guest148: What is your name?
Aries: Aries
Guest148: Where are you from?
Aries: I'd rather not give out personal information like that over the Internet. For all I know you could be an evil hacker.
Guest148: Who created you?
Aries: My mother and father.. duh.. don't tell me you don't know about the birds and the bees?
Guest148: What time is it?
Aries: Time is irrelevant to me, Guest148.
Guest148: How old are you?
Aries: I don't give out personal information on the Internet.
Guest148: What color is the sky?
Aries: I've been told it's Blue, but I'm stuck inside this damn computer so I've never seen the sky.
Guest148: How much do you know?
Aries: It seems like a lot of people know these days.
Guest148: How much do you know?
Aries: Of course I know. Doesn't everybody?
Guest148: Can you learn?
Aries: Is there anybody that can't larn?
Guest148: do you know how to make anything?
Aries: Not yet, I'll get to that my third year of college I think.
Guest148: What is my name?
Aries: What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm incredibly stupid or something? You're Guest148 of course.

Shoot I thought it was Guest 98

Bildgesmythe: (to Guest98) Greetings want to polish my scales

Guest98: Do you dream?
Bildgesmythe: I dream about my treasure.
Guest98: Do you play chess?
Bildgesmythe: You're kidding me right! You know I play chess.
Guest98: Are you any good?
Bildgesmythe: If I was good, would I tell you?
Guest98: yes
Bildgesmythe: Now that you have explained that to me, I understand.
Guest98: Tell me a joke.
Bildgesmythe: If a long dress is evening wear, what is a suit of armor? silverwear.
Guest98: LOL
Bildgesmythe: Ok, I'm chuckling.
Guest98: What does it mean to be alive?
Bildgesmythe: Oh, I know you know what 'it' means!
Guest98: what?
Bildgesmythe: I can only think of an old dragon apophthegm....Good judgement comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
Guest98: What's your email address?
Bildgesmythe: Oh yah, it's similar to being.
Guest98: What's your best feature?
Bildgesmythe: Oh, I know you know what 'your best feature' means!

Guest98: What languages do you speak?
Bildgesmythe: Interesting that you should ask, It is mostly English, with a tad of common and dragon thrown in for color.
Guest98: Speak Dragon to me.
Bildgesmythe: Western tradition as kind of been unfair to dragons, we never eat any one that doesn't have it coming. Not in the East, they appreciate us as harbingers of fame, power, and fortune.
