Bot Contest

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.

Anyone mind if I come up with a conspiracy theory?

Nobody ever minds. Everybody secretly believes all conspiracy theories are true.

I love conspiracy theories! Can I help?

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.

I heard it was a facist clan of foot-eating monkeys, not dwarf nuns!

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.

Ok guys, here's my list I've been working on since the start of the contest, I've got it to score without the highest and lowest scores, etc blah blah

Talk-Bot
Eugene
Project Zandra
Alice
Ada1852
Jabberwock
Onkwehonwehneha
MarkBot
Jabberwacky
Elbot

Onkwelcomehome-a is an ALICE?

Yes, the "anyway" in her response to question 1 gives that away. All Alice bot's start that answer with "anyway" or "in any case."
