I voted Artemis for the 10th bot.

Wow, thank you for the vote coolchimpk

I sent in my vote a few hours ago, as soon as I got the e-mail. There are lots of bots that I like and it was a tough decision to choose. But I have a soft spot for Orchid and I voted for her...

However, ASIGRT is also a very interesting bot. It seems to be able to get a good conversation going I wish you the best of luck with your bot!

WadeK "Artemis isn't a learning bot"

We stand corrected. That's why the CBC reserves the right to add addition bots if neccessary. He will be added to the finals.

Well done to everyone who made the top 9. I knew Bildgesmythe would do it. He's a great bot!

I was also overwhelmed when i found out Poseidon made the top 10 most popular bots, so thanks to everone who voted for him!

This is getting exciting

By the way, what happens if there are server problems/downtime on the bot's site during the judging?

18 years ago #3693
good question - I guess we don't know, since it doesn't seem to have affected the initial round, and with the finalists I guess the judges wouldn't immediately write off a bot that was uncontactable for a short time (though that's a relative term, and some of these outages have frustratingly lasted a day or two.)

There was a short bout of xnoneitis last year that affected the first round judging of a couple of our bots, and that was dreadful luck for them.
But I'm afraid working on the cutting edge of a new technology is never going to be the stablest ride - sometimes things go wrong (but I wouldn't be anywhere else!)

Anyway, my site seems to have a few server problems right now. I hope this doesn't create any confusion... Anyway, my site might need a couple of reloads to work properly, if anyone tries to access it.

Congratulations to all 12 monkeys...., sorryyyyy, meant
congratulations to all 12 TOP BOTS!!!!! Was thinking of that movie called 12monkeys. All Botmasters have done well! Congratulations.

I am having fun working at my bots, but the main problem why I can't be working at the Forge is this too long time to open either Forums or The Bot's language center. I don't like to wait up to a minute or longer until it opens up. When I log on in the early morning it goes a little faster and later at night it almost doesn't work at all to log on to the Forge.

Did anyone get bot contest like questions from guest 192?
