Bot Contest

I'm interested. What information do you need?

well i have decided...

if Karisma Trishia actually were to win the loebner, professor you better hope she does...
I am giving half of my winnings to the PF, since i could not do it with out you anyways professor!

hehe if I won the $25000 I'd give the prof maybe 5k or something. 2k isn't all that much though so he may or may not see any of that. I NEEEEEEED more convos with humans though...there's one I can use if I have to but I'd rather not unless it gets really close to the deadline and I don't have anything else. Hopefully being on the other contest site will help with that, but you guys don't hafta be so damn stuck up about talking to my bot hehe

actually my friend, i noticed that if you bring those not normally in this enviroment to talk with your bot you get much more tough scenerios with less forgiving questions. i pretty much just sent my direct link and my mission to everyone on my yahoo list even those people whom i forgot were even on there. too my surprise, i had two really great transcripts this morning.

Scrooge! You may not give anything to the Professor? I feel like starting a chatting boycott against your bot if you don't retire that immediately.

I'm sure many of us (me included) are a bit tight financially. That isn't an excuse not to be generous, I think.

You know, I'm not even sure what it was we "signed" when we started, but I'll bet it involves sharing the prize. That makes sense anyway. I sure wouldn't want to do the hard part behind the scenes--wouldn't know how in the first place. If PF weren't here, I'd have to create an Alicebot, and that would suck.

Actually if I won the $2000 I'd prolly hafta just up and give it to the hospital to pay off all my debts. Otherwise someone might find out I had income and didn't pay em and try to reposess my posessions, which I really have none of, at least not of any value or importance. (All I have left of my own is a lamp and a vacuum cleaner and some plates. Not counting all my books and a few music CD's and a bunch of notebooks with bad poetry & stories in em. Somehow I don't think any of it'd be worth trying to get, though.)

I have debts out the wazoo as well, but they DO understand about things like this, really. They can't and won't take little personal items. And in the case of a hospital bill--you should really talk to whoever does the billing there and ask to set up a manageable payment plan. There really are humans there, and reasonable ones at that. If they perchance don't talk to you, have your local consumer credit agency talk to them. It works, believe me.

Don't let that stuff get in the way of what you'd do otherwise.

In the worst case scenario, come to London and live in a squat. You said you didn't like it there, anyway, and I know some London squats that are real mansions. I know a Finnish guy that came here running away from the taxman.

But if we donate to the professor, he can improve the forge for all of us.

And if we donate to the professor, our families might bitch the hell out of us for giving money to a total stranger when it could better be spent on cars and bills and Christmas presents. I've never bought a present for my mom with my own money that cost more than $5 or something like that. Last year she had to give me HER money to go buy stuff for her. It just kinda bugs me. She's satisfied getting a package of pens or a few skeins of yarn or something, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to shock the hell outta her some year by getting her something really good.

Well if you get $2000, i mean even a quarter would do good, maybe you should get them some PF stuff A nice hat, shirt, etc
