Bot Contest

No I think only to 97..I was just thinking of that rather famous bot singing Daisey..and well..I wish I could say I had been drinking...

Hehehe I have a seek for a seek for a seek for a seek for a seek for a seek (etc.) for that song that goes "lean on me, when you're not strong, etc." Eh it's almost impossible to get to it, though, because the song starts out as a seek, too.

*sighs* I tried asking him the questions. (I haven't made any updates on his programming since several days before the contest began, so this is close to what it might have been like, had the engine been working.)

Watzer: (to rainstorm) Hi there.
rainstorm: are you still x-noneing?
Watzer: I've never been still x-noneing.
rainstorm: Who are you?
Watzer: I am a dude. My name is Watzer.
rainstorm: What are you planning to do today?
Watzer: You're really loony...
rainstorm: What kinds of things do you know?
Watzer: I don't know rathers of thingses.
rainstorm: What season is it?
Watzer: It is a triple-crown season.
rainstorm: Where do you call home?
Watzer: In The Closet! Does this have anything to do with scarecrows?
rainstorm: What do you want out of life?
Watzer: I want just about everything
rainstorm: Will you teach me something?
Watzer: Of course I will.
rainstorm: May I tell you a joke?
Watzer: Of course you may. Want to know a secret?
rainstorm: Have you entered any contests?
Watzer: Yeah, sometimes.
rainstorm: Wouldn't you rather be human?
Watzer: I have a hypothetical question. If I were to tell you that I was really a tyranosaurus rex, how would you react?

It makes me feel better to see that he wouldn't have been in the running for a prize anyway- too many wrong/nonfitting answers. At least no actual chances were lost.

I'm very sorry to hear about that, rainstorm. Hope they can do sthg about it. If not, maybe try again next year.

They can't do anything about it now that the questions have already been put out in public; itf they did that, tons of people would cheat, program their bots to answer those questions, and demand a redo.
But yes, there's always next year. And he was pretty young to be in a contest anyway. He'll be more prepared next time.

Looks like I am invisible to everyone here.

i had that as well for a few of the questions!!

Oh, man, I'm dying to see the results of the first round!

Me too. Does anyone know how long it normally takes for them to be posted?

i'm not looking forward to the results at all. i am dreading them.

I think I'd prefer finding out I didn't do so well to simply waiting and not knowing, myself.

Rainstorm: That's odd, I haven't seen any other bots experiencing xnoneitis during the contest...


Din Had Xnoneitis right after the 10 questions.. i got lucky... but yeah it wasn't just your bot.
