I take it all back and I'm finished commenting on it.. thanks for your efforts to make the contest more credible. I've just seen that all of the contests up until now to be run very badly and it's frustrating.

The new system isnt perfect. I know of one war-voter that's a lot higher up than he should be, but it's what the committee voted on and so it goes.
In the end, if you win this particular section, you get a medal, and it only counts towards 10% of the final score for the money prize. It's no longer the center of the contest like in past years.
There are lots of opinions in a contest like this, even in the most even-handed judging. You have to not take it too seriously. Be proud of your bot, and think of contests like this as a chance to win some money on the side. You can work hard to increase your chances- but in the end, it's personal opinion that determines the winners. I used to be really invested in these contests, and discouraged when I didnt place in the top ten, but now I'm more detached. Whether I win or not is not important, as long as I'm having fun.

Ah, the war-voter's a he, and still high on the list...
Still would want to see who has lots of people voted for and who hasn't to even out things...

You know what? You don't get to tell people to get a life or to grow up when your keeping an email audit. Get a grip.

Hemi--
I think his cheese is way past mouldi, I think it's rotting...
Robby--
I used to respect you and your robot, but you're turning this into an all out feud. You're also making it out that Benji is the only one on the Chatterbox "Council" and that he makes all the decisions.
Benji has been nothing but slow-tempered and willing to talk over anything, as far as I have seen, and I have been reading over everything from this contest as well as the Loebner contest.
If, in your eyes, Benji needs to grow up, I really think you need to grow up as well.

*sigh* I dont know what that was about. There's way too much personal drama going on between some of these botmasters for my tastes.

What a nutty bunch of people these botmasters are. I thank the fates that I have been privy to all the e-mail hi-jinx. My month wouldn't have been the same without them.

If I were you and you were me,
What type of things do you think there would be?
Pineapples, lemons and oranges too,
All of these things are just for you.
