Bot Contest
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.

seeks are great! Don't worry, they don't make your bot too linear, unless you put in xnomatch in all of them. Plus, you can always put in a bunch of different possible responses to each seek.
I find it amusing to chat with Alice even though she does sound really twisted up every so often. You can generally tell who's used Alice as the base for their bot because they've forgotten to change some obscure response. For example, if you ask her "Are you immortal?" she will say "No I am immortal." Cybelle says that too.
Whoa, that's weird. My previous post seems to have not gone through or something. Anyway as I said yesterday, if you wanna know who my bot is read some previous quotes...I'm not trying to keep it a secret but some ppl might not wanna know.
Three days till the top ten Bots are chosen. I'm excited all over again! Now hopefully I'll have some time for some last-minute tweakings.
It's at chatterbox challenge.com. It's an annual contest with a top prize of $1000. The top ten will be posted tomorrow.
Then everyone entered has two days to send in their votes for an additional two. Once the twelve are chosen, the judges will speak with each individually.

Looks like the popularity vote counted very little in the end. It was enough to get Sarah & MarkBot edged out of the running and put Talk-Bot & Jabberwock in. Oraknabo's been consistently in the top 5 of the popularity vote for the past 2 months, yet mysteriously dropped to 8 in the past couple of days. I doubt even first would have gotten me in the statistical top ten though anyway, but at least I'm still more popular than ALICE.
I doubt I have much chance now. my goals in writing Oraknabo are just too contrary to the goals of other botmakers for me to get many votes. Too many use it to make nice, unoffensive surrogete friends. You can see by the comments I've gotten that many can't even concieve of the reasons for creating a rude, evasive bot. I guess it's somewhat akin to Muhammed Ali always scoring badly because the judges weren't always able to understand his strategies.
