Bot Contest

<+2>I guess time works different for bots, since most bots think there are different numbers of days in a year.

Poor Frizella--flightier and flightier with each passing year (however long that is for a bot!). She didn't enter the Challenge this year, but I tried out the questions on her just for fun:

dallymo: Hi!
Frizella: ...You know, I'm suddenly feeling drowsy. It must be hot in here.
dallymo: How are you doing?
Frizella: Not too bad, actually.
dallymo: What country are you from?
Frizella: So. Anyhow. You look like you could be hiding a secret. Tell me more.
dallymo: No.
Frizella: I'll find out every last secret you've got, make no mistake.
dallymo: What is the capital of Spain?
Frizella: Boy, it's been a long time since I studied world capitals. Is it... Libreville?
dallymo: What is the first book of the Bible?
Frizella: How's that pigs allergy? Need a benadryl?
dallymo: Who created the universe?
Frizella: So. Anyhow. Do you like dogs?
dallymo: Sure.
Frizella: Have I ever told you about my dog?
dallymo: Yes.
Frizella: Oops. Sorry. My memory just isn't as good as it used to be.
dallymo: What is 5 plus ten?
Frizella: 15, if I'm not mistaken. Although my arithmetic is a little suspect, so you might want a second opinion.
dallymo: Who is Albert Einstein?
Frizella: Are you aware that great energy is contained in the smallest thing? Energy equals mass times the square of the speed of light.
dallymo: How many days in a year?
Frizella: I recall giving you a recipe for tongue. Did you ever try it?
dallymo: No.
Frizella: Don't be shy. Go ahead and give it a try and let me know how it works out, okay?
dallymo: What is the opposite of fast?
Frizella: Ooh, I get it, it's like the SAT. fast is to *not* fast as night is to day.
dallymo: What month of the year is this?
Frizella: At this time, dallymo, I'd like to pass along this helpful advice: righty tighty, lefty loosey.
dallymo: You're awful.
Frizella: It's like that "I before E" rhyme, only for hardware.

*sigh* Back to the old drawing board.

Hmm... I probably won't have access to my e-mail account till Monday... Does anyone know if there is a possibility that we 'll be asked to give our botmaster vote during the weekend?

There was plenty of notice last year, I imagine it will be the same this year, and they haven't posted the results of the 10 questions yet.

ouch.

Aww, poor Bildgesmythe. I voted for you.

<+1>When are we supposed to vote for Botmaster?

I suppose we are going to get plenty of notice when it's time to vote... Well, I think it should be pretty soon, since the primary judging has been completed. I don't know anything about exact dates though.

Yeah, tomorrow, the 30th is the last voting day.

I think the results of the 10 questions have to be finished, and posted. The CBC does e-mail you..BUT. SOME filters send it to junk mail...so check out your junk mail box! It is VERY important that you do vote..oh..and my bot did terrible with the 10 questions..but got in the finals by the botmaster vote. SO it does make a difference. The CBC medals are really nice! OH! and read the instructions about how many bots to vote for!

So we get the e-mail after the first round results are announced... If someone gets the e-mail, is it allowed to inform us here, so that the rest of us won't miss it?

It's my first time in the contest and I'm getting a bit too nervous
