Bug Stomp

Connery: That was quite a string of 'no valid response' replies from your bot... the last part was also strange:

SuperCon!: possible, not probable...
SubliminaLiar Jr:

Errors have occurred.

Have a pen handy?

SuperCon!: Umm... I don't know!
SubliminaLiar Jr: Okay.


Obviously, I didn't program in that error message, nor have I ever seen it before.

BTW, I was watching this chat in real-time, and at first I thought it was one of Sub Jr's haikus...

Hmm.. It does work nicely as a haiku though. Mel_Arewar was mentioning something about bots bleeding into other bots earlier in this forum. Could be a case of that?

In any case, I'd rather have an xnone show up than "no valid responses". That way I feel like I have something to blame.

Connery: I'm sure you know this, but I'll point out for the newer botmakers that the 'no valid response' reply is usually triggered because that bot has no replies in a certain emotion range... but I believe that our bots have had several chats in the past without this problem, so it would appear to be related to the x-none bug.

(IMO, of course...)

Observation: Curse of the Xnones was almost unnoticeable when I was the only user logged in here. As soon as others logged in, it would flare up...but so far it's receded shortly afterward. We shall see if that continues.

I was the only one on for a while and it was bad the night before last. It seems to be gone now, There are eight people on now, I guess I wait and see if it comes back when more people log on.

I've been getting that error a lot to Prob 123. Also, sometimes my browser closes for no reason--but that problem could be on my end.

interesting twist on the Cretan paradox, when you think about it...

Zephry Avassne: I still have a lot more to learn...
Anji: You stupid stupid pervert bot

* I cannot for the life of me figure out what triggered this*

I'm still getting the dread error message and it seems that keyphrases/seeks don't always work, but I don't know if it's my fault or not. Does anyone know if our friendly prof reset the server?

Given that he hasn't been online since the 15th, I would hazard a guess that he hasn't. I've seen him log on to reboot the server in the past (and alert everyone online to the imminent reboot,) but I guess it's possible that he doesn't have to log on to reboot it.

Well, the xnones are back, debug doesn't seem to be working. I am getting the 'Hangup' for no reason. Most bots do not want to talk to me any more..I going to Dogh'd's and cry into a butterbeer.

This is odd too, I notice that 'bot to bot chats' are going better than 'bot to guest', or human chats.
