Bot Contest

By the way......

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!

I wish a bunch more people from here made it. I too would love to know how they decided this, because I think some of the bots here are equal or superior to mine in many ways.

same here, i am not even sure KT was ever approached by any judges since she made it to the semi's, but if anyones bot made it i was betting money godL would! she rocks the casba!

CONGRATULATIONS BUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TACKLE HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Congratulations Butterfly. You'll be representing the Forge in the finals.

If any of you have a moment to try to dig up the email address for the following people, I'd like to request their signature on the Agreement:

Eugene Demchenko & Vladimir Veselov, Abe Othman, Robert Wald, Richard Wallace

Well get goin'!

vladimir_veselov@mangoostdevelopment.com
aothman@umich.edu
dataguardian@crispdata.com (WALD)
drwallace@alicebot.org / rwallace@best.com

Oh, would you mind asking them if they have an evaluation transcript? I'm just curious.

This may just be me not understanding anything, but might you not be getting transcripts because they are allready on the web-hub, and are thus totally internal? Or does that only happen in the finals?

That would make sense for the contest. I was talking about shortly before the hub was set up. KT got quite a lot of conversation then, but GL didn't.

Cause I don't really know your names and am only slighty familia with the bots...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! to any and all members of PF who made it to the semifinals.

In my humble opinion there are so many amazing bots here in the forge and I think it rocks that some are getting out there into the dubious wide world.

I can't be the only one that is wondering which bots are going to the semifinals. I only know that God Louise and Alice will be there, but who are the rest?

Fred Roberts -- Elbot
Wendell (Chris) Cowart -- Talk-Bot
Vladimir Veselov -- Eugene

Those are on the Chatterbox Challenge page at chatterboxchallenge.com and there might be more there, but I'm sick and haven't the energy to sort through all those names.

Thanks, Butterfly.

I've decided to do my own homework and find out myself:
Kevin Copple - Ella (participated in Loebner 2001)
Wendell Cowart - Talk-Bot
Eugene Demchenko & Vladimir Veselov - Eugene (participated in Loebner 2001)
Joy Harwood - God Louise (PF bot)
Abe Othman - Anna (an alicebot specifically designed to beat Alice this year)
Fred Roberts - Elbot
Robert Wald - Agent Ruby (another alicebot)
Richard Wallace - Alice (THE alicebot)

Interesting how many of these bots are female, yet I'm the only female bot master there.
