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.

My opinion on Bark Bark/Bot Holidays is that bots are like people, and some would be more "Ba-Humbug" than others (according to their personality). A good feature might be a value from 0 to 100 that the botmaster (i.e. one who knows them best) can set that determines how willing their bot is to participate in such holidays (0=not at all, 100=always). Of course I'd probably always set mine to 100, cause as few keyphrases as I've set up in mine so far, they currently need all the help they can get... (Perhaps someone else has a better thought?)
Eventually I want to have tweaks for all sorts of personality attributes. They'll come as the AI Engine becomes more fluid.

I'm also trying to vote for everybody, I'm getting quite far through all the PF bots and hopefully I'll be on the rest as well soon.
Steve seems to be going consistantly downhill as more votes come in... Maybe a "dislike" campaign by other botmasters? (not pf)
That's quite an accusation. You got anything to back that up?
Of course there were questions in the past couple of years since the guy running it won, but he's got a good bot. In order to quell ideas such as this he opened it all up to a committee of several members, including myself. Now of course I cant see everything going on behind the scenes, but we all helped come up with the contest rules, and I dont see anything to make me think it's anything but completely legit.
