Personality

Continuing message 4175:

To get the guest's preferences, you might just ask; like this, for example:

Tell me, (mem-name), which would you most like to talk about: religion, politics, sex, current events, or sports?
    + religion [0]
    Religion it is, then! <?PF rem "religion" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>
    + politics [0]
    Politics it is, then! <?PF rem "politics" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + sex [0]
    Sex it is, then! <?PF rem "sex" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + current events [0]
    Current events it is, then! <?PF rem "current events" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + sports [0]
    sports it is, then! <?PF rem "sports" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>
    + none, I don't want any of (those|them), not any [0]
    What would you like to talk about, then?
        + xnomatch [0]
        I'll see my botmaster about programming me to deal with that!

(If your bot is "Teen" or "Everyone", you may of course want to substitute "love" or "romance" for "sex"; and in general, the choice of topics is up to you.)

get friends to help you to do your bots personality. my friend sian said my bot letty lotshould be a lover so she said why dont you say that she is looking for love. so get friends to help.

Welcome Amazing. It's good to have friends. Do you have a friends named Roxy by any chance? Just wondering.

Anyway, what is your bot doing that makes you need o go into debug and figure it out? If you develop her a bit more, you may get something more like what you are hoping for.

thanks bev i will try it out!!!

Wasn't Roxy a Brisbanite rather than from Leeds?

Corwin, Yes, but they spell England the same way (not that I note spelling much). Could be nothing. I just had a feeing of de ja vu.

I missed the Roxy era (assuming that I am not just unconsciously another subpersonality of the same being); what was she like?

You can find a few comments and responses to her via the Newcomers Index : (http://www.be9.net/BJ/newcomers.htm) - see under Flames &c - roxie
There might be a couple of anagram blasts left under Flights of Fancy Free - anagrams, but there was a lot of collateral damage when the Prof expunged her.

All her original posts were deleted by the Prof (except one more than a year previously from a different user name that I believe was her too,) - you'll see from the deleted posts log how many there were around that time!

Yeah, catching up on the posts as I did a couple of months back there were pages and pages with only 6 posts on them cos the other 9 were deleted.

Looks like Blair_321's back. Or one of his little friends

I reported him. It makes me feel so mean and powerful.
