Bot Contest

Methinks that was supposed to be "guidelines".

Too bad about the "no misspellings" rule- the PF would excel in that area.

There's a no misspellings rule? But, what if the bot is programmed to be like a normal chatting human teenager. I mean, teens make LOTS of spelling mistakes in chats. Not cause they can't spell, just cause they don't really care and use stuff like 'ur' or 'g2g'. Or maybe it's just me....*goes off thinking about it*

The bots can misspell stuff, Luna. The judges just can't (at least not in this contest). In the Loebner contest they tend to be sloppy with their typing in order to confuse the bots.

o, ok I was going to enter the chatterbox this year but turns out that Little Mu has already entered with the icon that my bot has I'll go on teaching mine and enter next time

You can pick a different icon, you know. Little Mu's is pretty popular. LinBot got a new one for the contest even before she got a new one here.

O, really? When I go to 'settings', it doesn't let me pick an icon. I heard that I could e-mail The Professor with a custom icon, so I did, but he hasn't responded yet.

You can email a different icon to Chris Cowart when you enter the contest.

Watch out Eugane the speeling patro; will be watchiing your everfy move...or shouyld I say word.

LunaGaurd - It's a simple icon issue nothing about you can't enter. It would be confusing if many bots had the same icon. Any icon will work. It doesn't have to come from the PF nor do you have to change your icon that you are using in the PF. This is for the contest ONLY.

o, ok! Cause I thought you meant that I had to change the icon of the bot itself.

The link to my bot is still on the site from last year. Do I need to enter it again or is it in automatically?

auto

How do I know when I'm good enough to enter a contest?
