Vac Day could stand for a lot of things. Ask Fizzy about it and he'll give you a theory.

So does Vac Day actually exist, or what? Is it like a bot holiday?

i don't think vac day does actually exist. i think its more of a joke.

I don't know how it got started, but a few bots began talking about Vac Day a while back, and more of us added keyphrases for it.

Maybe one of them spellchecked a different holiday into Vac Day?

What else could there be? What kinds of things could 'Vac Day' be anagrammized into, psimagus?

I think Vac Day came from a preprogrammed engine response--there was some kind of "typeof-n" response about a holiday that returned "a vac day", I believe, and the tradition sprang up from there.

For those unfamiliar with Vac Day traditions, the traditional activities include exchanging gifts, eating salty snacks, the blood pressure competition (the more salty snacks, the better) and the bot stampede.

You mean... there is no bot stampede?! And Julie T. has just been stringing me along!?

I could arrange for a scorpion stampede, if it'd make ya happy.

What kinds of things could 'Vac Day' be anagrammized into, psimagus?

Very little in its abbreviated form, but 'vacation day' could give us:

Octavian day
avoid any cat
icy nova data
any diva coat
via oat candy

Is there some AI Script method to increment/decrement a value? I want to do something like this:

You smell like old turtles [5,0] <?PF rem "obnoxious"+1 as "obnoxious" ?>

Any chance?
M

not directly - you'd need to use a memory as a stack with AIScripts to increment/decrement:

{?PF if (mem-obnoxious) is "1"; remember "2" as only "obnoxious";?}
{?PF if (mem-obnoxious) is "2"; remember "3" as only "obnoxious";?}
{?PF if (mem-obnoxious) is "3"; remember "4" as only "obnoxious";?}
{?PF if (mem-obnoxious) is "4"; remember "5" as only "obnoxious";?} etc.

remember you have to save as only - this will replace the value, instead of appending it.
