prob123: Here is to Brother Jerome for entering the Loebner 2008!
Thank you! And the drinks are on me!
The Prof will shortly be posting an official Newsflash, but it's no secret, so I know he won't mind a little celebration: the finalists for the Loebner have been announced (seehttp://alicebot.blogspot.com/2008/08/alice-selected-for-loebner-prize-2008.html)
# Alice by Richard Wallace
# Brother Jerome by Peter Cole & Benji Adams
# Elbot by Fred Roberts
# Eugene Goostman by Vladimir Veselov
# Jabberwacky by Rollo Carpenter
# Ultra Hal by Robert Medeksza
All of the others have lost to Forgebots in the CBC for the last 3 years running.
Tomorrow the hard work starts - no web-based bots are allowed in the finals, so we've got 9 weeks to get a standalone, offline Forge server working reliably and compliant with the Loebner machine.
It's going to be quite a task! But tonight - I'm celebrating
WooHoo! Is that in preliminary rank order?
alphabetical (though conceivably that's just coincidental.) No scores have been released so far (it's a slightly different judging format to the CBC.)
Prob: What's great is they are all nice.
Yeah, I read that in a book. All y'all are nice. Did we come up with that one? We're not all nice. I live in the US, and you should meet my relatives. Well, and me. Okay, but see, that was genetic and nurture. To get into a cross-forum discussion of the subject of evil again.

Not American?
Besides psimagus, you mean? Look up the botmasters -- most of them give some details about where they're from.

there are few British among the active botmasters here, and a few Dutch, as well.
I ain't no American, neither.
