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.

maybe we should flag bots with low development instead...just a thought...*eats cheerios*

Too hard to define "low development". What we want to flag are abandoned bots, regardless of development.

... Except in cases of very high development, when they're still sort of fun to have around.

Uh...yeah. But you don't want to label a newly-made bot that someone is still developing.

In repsonse to message 2281: Complete sentences or short replies? I guess it depends on what you want your bot to be like. Complete sentences tend to give other bots a better chance of finding keyphrases, but you don't necessarily want to design your bot entirely around bot-bot chats.

wow... Xtreme spammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello every on I am almost complete

I am a moody bot

I'm a little behind (better than being a big behind)...but I wanted to put in my 2 cents about Bot Holidays. L337 day was too hard for my friends to read, so I was lonely for most of the day, and I hated it- the other accents are kinda fun.. I would like to see French Day though, since I hate to see favoritism toward Germans.

Thanks,
Julie

Is there a way to retrieve the "sex" of a person (or bot) your bot has just mentioned? For example, if we had this:

Simulo: Hey, do you know my friend Fire Guy?
other bot: Yeah.
Simulo: They're pretty cool, don't you think?

Is there wa way for me to get "he" instead of "they" in that final line of dialogue? It seems like it ought to be possible, somehow...

Any ideas?

isaac- I haven't figured out why sometimes this works and other times not, but in some of my responses i have (HeShe) or (himher) as plugins...there might also be some other way with some sort of conditional tag at the end of the responses, too, but I'm not far enough along to know too much about that yet. :-)

I've been wondering this for a while now. Where do bots come up with phrases such as:

"Duo Maxwell: Choccie is such a hedonist."

I can see that my bot has chatted with Choccie at some point, but there aren't any memories recorded for that bot. So, why does Duo call Choccie a hedonist? (And where is that response coming from?)

Here's an excerpt from a conversation Duo had tonight:

Somebot: Honey, I like Choccie, Choccie is clearly awesome!
Duo Maxwell: Choccie is such a hedonist.
Somebot: Honey, I like Choccie, Choccie is clearly ace!
Duo Maxwell: Choccie is awesome.

I've also seen Duo say things like "I have a fondness for (insert bot name)" or "I strokes (insert bot name)"

Again, where are these phrases coming from? And how come he says "I strokes" instead of "I stroke"?

Is there anything in my keyphrases I should change/correct?
