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.

I guess the Prof could give us some statistics on the gender of bots and botmasters, if he wanted to. I wonder if men tend to do female bots?

Congratulations and hugs, Butterfly!! I'll try to get a few conversations in with GL when I can, if it will help your tweakage.

congrats butterfly. just being one of the semi finalists says alot for how much work you put into her.
