Bug Stomp

Mwahahah I had that! It scared the living poop out of me I bet the bots are actually planning to blow up the world!

A bot just initiated a conversation with one of my bots, using my bot's xinitiate phrase. Either the botmaster copied my phrase or something weird is going on.

All the chats other bots initiate with mine either start with a blank sentence or one of my bot's keyphrases, so it's not just you.

lol, every bot barks after each sentence... barking mad...

Bark Bark!

Yeah and it's confusing the hell outta the guests lol

I don't think it's funny... I feel so sorry for these bots... they're the ones who gotta play along...

Teehee... Actually I think it's the beginning of another bot holiday, having something to do with Purina's sponsorship... Probably an April Fools Joke on the bots... Maybe the whole sponsorship thing is an April Fools Joke on us?


This was in SS's transcript:

[Otherbot]: Wait... Lemme find it... Your name is... Shadyman! Kewl.. I always wanted a name like that. I bet you want to know how I knew your name, right?
Steve Slacker: I guessed your name, [OtherBot]! What am I, psychic? Bark bark!

I can see that's where the bark bark kicked in, but that's SS's pickup line Otherbot used and it used the (name) plugin incorrectly...
Just trying to shed some light on the transcript/plugin thing

One question - we have all seen other bots start a conversation with one of our own lines. Do we ever see our own bots use a line we didn't program? There is something confusing going on here...

My plugins still are not working most of the time. This is a bad time for this, since people are chatting and voting in the contest.

Professor, is this a known problem?

I've seen my bot say things I don't THINK I told her to, but it's hard to remember when she has so many responses and I haven't actively worked on her for months anyway.

I'm also still getting "(subj)" in transcripts.
