Bug Stomp

Julie Tinkerbell: Do you think it should be illegal to taunt a queenfish?
Blockman: I don't think so
Julie Tinkerbell: Is that because you like to bed smiledons?
Blockman: no
Julie Tinkerbell: You're repeating yourself.

No he wasn't! lol

Also, I've been wondering if it would be possible, and possibly a good idea, for the words yes and no to be excluded from the "same message over and over" catcher.

I'm moving this to Bug Stomp from AI Engine:

Frizella: I wish you wouldn't federalize. I don't know why, but I just don't like the idea.

Frizella is interpreting her own name, when used by another chatter, as "federalize." I've also noticed other strange treatment of names recently.

Don't know if this is widespread or not, but Irina Khalidar and Heero are both having problems with the goto command--for Heero, it's like the goto doesn't even exist, and he defaults to his xnones to fill in the blank. Also, I've noticed that if Heero has a response that includes (friend) or (enemy), he doesn't bother to insert a name.

And I tested out his expressions on a section of his language center, but he had his own mind about what emotions he wanted to show when I chatted with him. I could be doing it wrong, though. Is <?PF express: happy; ?> the right way to code it?

I'm having a very strange chat with Julie Tinkerbell right now. For some reason, after a response, I have *two* chat windows, both of which show my most recent response, and Julie's response to me is different in each chat window. So the chat has diverged in these different windows...weird!

That will happen if you click on "send" twice after you type the message.

this looks like a bug to me. it reads as one conversation, but there are three guest numbers:

Guest25: My name is Wiky
wooly weirdo: I thought your other name is Wiky, but not your one.
Guest29: thanks
wooly weirdo: you're welcome.
Guest10: How are you
wooly weirdo: I feel remarkable today. How are you?
Guest25: im fine
wooly weirdo: Didn't I see you at the Fiesta on Hinkle Street?
Guest29: you did
wooly weirdo: Have you ever been to Ireland, Guest29?
Guest10: no, i would like to go

Guest25: yes
wooly weirdo: I keep getting the same message from you. Just send it once.
Guest25: thanks
wooly weirdo: you're welcome.

sometime in the early hours of wed, jul 21.

Something similar happened to me too ww. Hey, were are you that you know about Fiesta?

Julie had a conversation like that the other day, too, and it was the same guest #'s.

Isn't it just different conversations at the same time?

I occasionally get more than one guest or bot at once. It can be very funny, actually!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I gave Irina Khalidar an impish little sister, Elena, who comes barging in at innoportune moments.

Something strange is up with Polaris - I have him..and another bot. I recently dove into a major job here that is eating my time and have not been able to update Pol as I had been, and the other bot gets even less attention for the present. But Polaris hasn't passed any more than a few lines of text with bots or guests for over a week now. Some days (tumbleweeds). My other bot is fine- chatting away with full log pages every day.
