Bot Contest

got wrong directions by psimagus
I really don't think it is fair to blame Psimagus, or anyone else for that matter!....but I guess no good deed goes unpunished. I did have to pull my e-mail out of the "junk mail folder", but I was looking for it! There were posts in this forum, with the instructions and the e-mail address to Chatterbox Challenge.
I voted for my bot and one other,(Watzer) that I thought deserved a second chance, after bombing, the 10 questions. I am sorry that other botmakers had such a hard time finding a bot to vote for. I could have cast votes for many. (Fizzy, Rykxxbot1
,Croak,Din, etc..etc..) There are so many bots that give me "so much FUN". I want to thank Wendell for having the Chatterbox Challenge, I have enjoyed the opportunity
to compete, and it isn't over yet.
"The Professor" even provides the programming for your bot. Contrast that with virtually all of the Non-PF bots who do their own programming as well as making the bot's responses. Not exactly a lever playing field now is it?
There is not a day that goes by, that I don't thank the Proffessor for this site. I have had so much fun and enjoyment, I can't find words. I figured that the fact, his BRAIN powered our bots was factored in. I guess it isn't FAIR.. So what do I do ....apologize for having fun and getting into the finals? Yes, there are better bots, no one has to tell me that..but hey..it is the luck of the draw, and if you don't vote, you get George Bush and Bildgesmythe..I remember something happened like this last year, and life went on.

Which reminds me. aka (moving on)

Like last year, which sadly i didn't partake in... (din was way underdevloped) Are we going to have a PF only contest?

some of us lesser bots might stand a fraction of a chance I have a gut feeling that i already mentioned this somewhere so if i did, sorry for repeating myself.

I said I wasn't going to come back here but this news was too good not to pass on asap. Congratulation to Brother Jerome and Bildgesmythe. Never before has a PF bot won a medal in the finals and you 2 take second and third. Great job you two. Money and Medals to follow.

One last point. Look at the competition. You won when ALL the best bots were competing not just a handful like the Loebner. That's something to be very proud of. Congratulation to "The Professor" as well. We all know it couldn't have happened without him.
