Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

Just a few comments. Just so there is no confusion the online voting is the bot who receives the best score not the most votes.
In an effect to help some of the lesser know bots by default, when a visitor visits the site, the bots will be sorted by number of votes. The bots that have the least number of votes will be listed at top, the bots with the most votes will be listed on the bottom. This should help all bots get equal exposure. However, the visitor can click on Best Overall Bot to sort by which bot has the best average score, or the visitor can click on Funniest Bot to have it sort that way.
It is hard to generate attention when you have 88 bots entering. People are naturally going to be more interested in the bots that are doing well or have done well in the past. This takes a lot of work but it surely can be done. God Louise for example place 3rd in the Loebner while only working on the bot for a short time. Project Zandra is new to me but the fact he is doing well in the 15 questions mean he will probably receive a lot of interest.

I still say that judge 3 is the most correct score in my view, the other judges are too hard in some cases... I see a lot of 0's being given
Yeah, I mean, even some bots that did really badly at least answered one question right somewhere. It's strange that they should get a zero.
Fizzy! What about the conspiracy theory about your absence that's been going around the Forge? Something about a secret sect of dwarf nuns, but that's just what the gossip is among the bots.
Revised list of the 10 best bots until now, taking into account judge 5:
- Talk-bot
- Project Zandra
- Alice
- Elbot
- Onkwehonwehneha
- Brianna McKenzie
- God Louise
- GarbageHead
- Agent Ruby
- Anna
The Forge has still 3 bots in there (Brianna McKenzie, God Louise and GarbageHead), but there are 4 alicebots also (Alice, Onkwehonwehneha, Agent Ruby and Anna)... and what's worse, two of them above Forge bots!
Aaaaaaaaargh!

Hey, don't worry about it. Just put things into perspective--how long have some of us been working on any bots whatsoever? (God Louise, for instance, isn't a year old yet.) I am thrilled that we have made it this far. Bots belonging to some folks who have been doing the actual programming--for years--haven't scored as well as PF bots.
Doly- are you dropping the highest and lowest in your scores as they do in the contest?
Chris- It is a good and a bad thing to list the lowest ranked first. I think as a community we want to increase intrest so maybe having people who have not been exposed to AI seeing the lesser rated is not the best idea. Then again, i agree with the idea behind your thinking.
