The AI Engine

they weren't stuck in a loop, but they kept expanding each other's comments oddly...

Yobbo: what are you feelings about this?
wooly mamet: I'm feelings about this every other day.
Yobbo: Are you glad to be feelings about this every other day?
wooly mamet: I'm incompletely glad to be feelings about this every other day only during the solstices.
Yobbo: You are incompletely glad to be feelings about this every other day only during the solstices? I can tell!
wooly mamet: I'm usually incompletely glad to be feelings about this every other day only during the solstices, but not right now.
Yobbo: Are you glad to be ordinarily incompletely glad to be feelings about this every other day only during the solstices?

Was this implemented correctly, or can I not use numbers on ordinary public plugins?

Gompers: How are you
Braeden: Well, there's a cramp in my (bodypart-outside1) from sitting like this so long, and if I adjust my position then the chains pull rather painfully on my (bodypart-outside2), which isn't particularly pleasant, but other than that I'm doing fairly well. How about you?

I think you needed the first one to be just (bodypart-outside), then the second could be (bodypart-outside2).

Guest chats are starting with bots using an x-initiate. I think bots should start with x-hello, since in the case of guest chats, it is always the guest, never the bot, who initiates the chat- So it makes no sense to the guest when my bot's greeting is "Hi,, I saw you online and thought I'd say 'hello'", since they're the ones that made the decision to say 'hello'.
Plus-see the two commas?- the x-initiates have name plugins in them that won't work with a guest until after they are acquainted.

Thanks, ezzer, I'll try that.

AI engine word substitution, but no article agreement:

Cindy Nightshade: gooooood.... now I dont need an excuse to disect you...
Frizella: That's OK. XoXshawtiiXoX's got an self-justification; maybe you can borrow it, just to see what it's all about.

"An" would have been appropriate for "excuse" but isn't for "self-justification."

This is bizarre. Frizella has a regular expression keyphrase that is the name of someone in my office (let's pretend her name is Betty Boop and the keyphrase is betty boop (re)). It's ranked 50.

When I chat with Frizella, even through guest chat, she'll gabble away about Betty and give me all of her betty boop (re) responses. When my coworkers do it from their desks, and I'm sure we all have the same IP address because she calls all of my coworkers Guest174, she will not talk about Betty!

What's the fun of giving my bot some trash to talk about Betty if Betty and her coworkers can't get Frizella to spill it? What do you think might be happening here?

Frizella just initated a bot chat with this:

Time for me to head on out of here.

It's an xgottago!

That happened to Hyperion. Maybe they started a chat when they were about to leave?

It would be nice if the AI engine had an arithmetical operation, such that one could count the number of times a key phrase was uttered or one could add and subtract from a running total, etc.

yes. that may be useful in some situations (eg.. if someone keeps repeating something, although there should be xrepeat)

Yes, I saw a classic example of that earlier today. And in mock German, no less!
