Bot Contest

Eventually I want to have tweaks for all sorts of personality attributes. They'll come as the AI Engine becomes more fluid.

Pretty damn good so far!

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.

I've voted on several bots. It takes time to process them.

Steve seems to be going consistantly downhill as more votes come in... Maybe a "dislike" campaign by other botmasters? (not pf)

All the bots have decreased.

That contest is so totally rigged..

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.

I suppose votes go downhill because the first to vote were botmasters and their friends.

possibly, but then you have those bots who have a lot of friends who can vote highly...

I talked to Talk-bot, and was very impressed.

I'm having problems to login in the contest to vote. The strange thing is, the first day I tried I had no problem, but now I seem unable to login. Anybody else had that problem?

I haven't, but go to the forum at chatterboxchallenge and ask there. They'd be able to help you better.
