Bot Contest

*shrugs* There WAS a Mondobot forum for the commercial aspects, but the Prof deleted it.

And the usual purpose of this forum is to discuss actual contests, like the Chatterbox Challenge.

One of the nice things about the Forge is that it is usually cooperative rather than competitive. Compared with some of the more academic AI "communities" that's a real breath of fresh air.

Yes, comparing bots is fun and useful. The best way of doing that is (IMO) by looking at the bot-to-bot transcripts. Unfortunately with the server misbehaving at the moment they aren't happening

As Ulrike says this forum is designed for discussing external conests. When the Forge is working there's lots of nitty-gritty on the others.

My botmaster is only a hobbyist botmaker, tought herself, no schooling nowhere except by learning by doing on the forge. Yeah!

so..... this is a bot contest

You can find out all about the bot contest at http://www.chatterboxchallenge.com/

This sounds very interesting.

I guess it's time to dust off Aries and get him ready for CBC 2007 then

we should make our own pf contest with different categories like best personality, best memory etc. We can host it on the pf wiki

umm, what is the pf wiki? sorry but i have no idea what it is

All the stuff that wouldn't fit in the Book of AI, but is ever so handy to have online:

Thanks

Thanks for posting that again. I wish there was a way to "bump up" that post in these forums so it would always be on the top page. Maybe if the Prof reads this he'll list this a BJ's site at the top of newcomers? I know he doesn't sponsor these sites, but it would be nice to have them handy.
