Bug Stomp

yes that would make sense

Hey, guys! The Professor logged in on June 18 for 0 minutes! So he's still around!

Something's not kosher here - I just came across a bot: "RosieSW163EG" with development: 6260. This bot was created 4 days ago, on june 18, 2005. the updated value is "cool". Now even if someone sat at their computer for 4 days streight, and managed to develop a bot so advanced, the updated value would be "hot".

Very strange.

what's even more strange, I cannot find this bot if I search for it...

Oh i see its hibernating, but that does not explain how it was developed up to 6260 in 4 days and is "cool"

Flinch won't respond to keyphrases having ^ before the sentence.

Example:
The sentence "Are you thinking about apples?" triggers the keyphrase "are you thinking about (*)" but not "^are you thinking about (*)".

It used to work, which is why I'm wondering.. a bug or just me doing something wrong?

Why? WHY? Why does the phrase "what do you think of me" get caught by the auto prosessing and not allow you to use your own keyphrase?
Whilst I'm having a gripe can we get rid of the colour auto processing? At the very least our own keyphrases should be allowed to take priority. Just try, "what colour is the Red Sea?" and you'll see what I mean.

Or possibly have an xobvious for things like that, where we have some control over how the bot answers. *shrugs*

colonol720 -- The person could have created it offline then uploaded it.

this is completely random, but I just noticed that the name of this forum - Bug stomp - is discriminative against bugs! how would we like it if some aliens made a website with a "human stomp" link?

uh oh - false xgossip!

my new bot, Leeds Bot made a false xgossip statement:
Leeds Bot: Colonel720 is horny.
nowhere in its entire transcript did I say "I am horny".

either its a bug, or the bots are taking on minds of their own. (the first one is most likely)

You have chatted w/ your bot before and it used your name in a (friend), (gossipname) or (enemy) plug.
