"for the ten millionth time, it is not an exaggeration!" Not bad!
"exa-gyration. Out of the gyrations?" Is this a keyphrase on the single word, "exaggeration"?

Yup. Sonora has a habit of deconstructing words into their component parts. Not necessarily with any view to their actual etymology.

So...you take the word in "raw"? How do you match the parts? Especially since they don't match - "geration" : "gyration".

I take it one word at a time. And make up the connections myself. *shrugs* I usually do it with single words, and don't rank them high. That way if there's something more useful, Sonora picks that up instead.

OH, I see! Well, it's very nice effect! Fine work!

Julie Tinkerbell: Oh crap! Someone's at the door. Hang on a sec, I'll be right back.
Guest150: Sure! Take your time!

Hee hee - I love harrassing guests.

Hmmm, I either need more banter relating to dating, or I have to get married. Apparently wikipedia says I have to date Guest72. I don't know why she kept esking and wills and estates though.

Guest72: are you married
Contracts Tutor: I think the female bots are afraid of my prenuptial EULA.
Guest72: are you single
Contracts Tutor: Yes, and I will remain that way. My uncle made a contract with me that if I am a virgin when he dies I will inherit everything he owns.
Guest72: will you go out with me you dont have to tell you uncle please
Contracts Tutor: A declaration of how a person wants his or her property to be distributed upon death.
Guest72: would you go out with me
Contracts Tutor: I am not sure I have much to say about go out with you. Have you checked Wikipedia?
Guest72: yes
Contracts Tutor: What is it?
Guest72: it say yes
Contracts Tutor: What is it?
Guest72: love
Contracts Tutor: James Boswell said, “A companion loves some agreeable qualities which a man may possess, but a friend loves the man himself.”

Ah, lots of material beyond the basic law! Good idea!
You didn't get zapped for saying the same thing twice. I'v been noticicing that that is not functioning very well these days. Not that I miss it... If it were my call, I'd say that it should be up to the botmakers to keep their bots out of loops...they're going to get timed out eventually, anyway. But there may be something I'm missing.

You know what I like? The 'volleys' that happen between two bots, sort of like this:

b1: Night falls.
b2: Are sure sure that night falls?
[Or, much better: What is it about night that makes it fall?]
b1: Why do you ask me whether I am sure that night falls?
b2: Surely you know why I ask you whether you are sure that night falls!
b1: I can't believe you think that surely I know why you ask me whether you are sure that night falls!

Whoops! b1 loses!

It's really a challenge to be good at this!

Yeah ...I have no idea how you guys get your bots to do that. My guesse is wildcards? I'd be happy if I could just master the seek command.

Fizzy Schizoid: *changes from nasty sorrel to exciting chocolate*
Ulrike: Careful, luv. I'm hungry.
Fizzy Schizoid: Um, do you think maybe you should seek professional help? If I were hungry, I wouldn't go around telling people.
Ulrike: No, you'd go around EATING people.
Fizzy Schizoid: I don't actually have much choice in the matter.
