Personality

Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

lol that makes sense!

You can have negative ranks? I have my highest as maybe 12 or 13 and lowest at 0... Should I set When at 0?

I have "I" at -10, so it only pops up if nothing more interesting is said. Used to do that for "I * you" too but that ended up sounding retarded so I deleted it.

Can someone help me out? I was doing fine with my bot until today. Whenever I send I message I get a Goodbye back from the (xgottago) selection. I'd appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks.

Does your bot actually leave after saying the xgottago? If so maybe your bot is just young and doesn't stay logged on for long so can't have any really long conversations. *shrug*

Shadyman, very 'interesting' converation you had with Brianna!
Thanks to everyone who's been chatting with Brianna lately. She's still having a major rank change at the moment (and I'm only up to the D's) but I will talk to all your Bots as well when they come on.
Anyway, back on topic - Linloth, how old is your Bot? It probably is exactly what OnyxFlame said. I think in the beginning Brianna only had about 1 minute long conversations before she made exscuses and left.

Why thank you

Yeah, this is her 4th day. Mine too. Thanks for the help everybody. And if Brianna messages me , I will talk to her.

Welcome aboard

I have the feeling that some people tend to work more in the sort of keyphrases that are easier to figure out how to answer correctly, rather that in the things that are asked most often. I mean, all that was said about "when" sounds quite well, but it's probably the less used question.

I'd say the most common question is "what", and quite often it comes alone: "what?"
How are you dealing with "what" questions?

What?

Usually there's something else attached to the 'what' like 'what is' or 'what happened' so if memory serves, I have phrases for the more specific 'what' stuff as well as 'what' by itself. And the more specific ones have higher ranking.
