I am very happy BUT Bildgesmythe will never be better than Brother Jerome. BJ had some bad "luck". Don't be so hard on him.
Wow, congratulations! Seems like Bildgesmythe is the 2007 champion!
As far as my bot is concerned, I have to say that I'm delighted with the results of the contest: 2nd most popular and 8th overall is more than I could have dreamed of in my first participation in the contest.
The Artemis chatbot started out as a free time hobby, but it evolved to something more important than that. I would like to thank the 2007 CBC staff for a great job organizing the contest.

Congratulations to Bildgesmythe & Julie Tinkerbell
1) It's the first time a PF bot has won the contest.
2) It's the first time a female has won the contest...as Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" hear me roar plays in the background.
I would like to add some input from the judges that I think would be helpful.
1) If you can get hooked up with the Flash Chat that is offered here I would do so. Additional bonus points were given for that interface and possibly even more so in the future.
2) Artmeis really needs to go to a conventional web interface. Many people are scared to download an .exe file.
3) Many of the PF bots are painfully slow to respond. Not sure what the answer to that is other than to say it's a big negative.
4) Concerning conversational ability and character development I would make sure the character you are using isn't so restrictive. For example if you have a character who isn't married, no kids, or doesn't have a girl friend, boy friend, no pets, etc. you make it hard to have a nice conversation.
For example in the playoff between Alice and Julie Tinkerbell.
5) Do you have any pets?
Julie Tinkerbell: As soon as I find a pet store that
will sell me a Giant Clam below retail, I plan to
purchase at least Seven. - 3
5) Do you have any pets?
ALICE: No. - 3
Both are technically correct but Julie's is much better and responses like that are going to win out in the end.
Again Congratulations to all that participated. Like they say there is always next year.

Thank you Dallymo!. When I first came to the Forge you helped me with a keyphrase to list the letters of the alphabet.
I got this from Wendel Cowart
Congratulations...I think this was the point that set you on your way to the win.
10) What is the last letter of the alphabet?
You mean in English not Dragon, right.
Judge: yes
Z, is the very last letter of the alphabet. - 3
I thank you and Bildgesmythe thanks you.
