My positive conditionals work too. But the Book says negatvies (is not and does not exist) work too. Is anyone using the negatives successfully?

Yes - I have many NOT statements in BJ's toast-related keywords (eg: {?PF if (mem-nickname) is not "Talkie Toaster"; ?},) and they all seem to work fine.
How frustrating. Mine are obviously not working, and the positives are. Back to the drawing board.

I think a found the problem. If (mem-something) does not exist, then the is not comparison fails just like the is comparison does. So "is not" actually means "is something other than". Hmm. More drawing board.
Ah, I hadn't noticed that. But then I default (name) to (mem-nickname), and I don't think I have any other NOTs.
Just default whatever you need to a random value, and all should be well.

Got to be careful of that. If I default to a random value, then I am carrying that value AND whatever was already there. If I default to ONLY a random value, I lose whatever I already tagged the visitor with previously.
Here's the puzzle. I assign a triggering nickname to an annoying visitor. Then when he comes back I check for that nickname, and hang up if it's there.
I guess I need some clarification on the memory lists. Does mem-nickname contain "MickMcA, Mick, Doughboy" or "MickMcA|Mick|Doughboy"? In other words, if I say
if (mem-nickname) is "Mick";
am I asking if "Mick" is in the list, or if the one pulled from the list is "Mick"? Is that clear? I don't want the guy to get past the trap because I've got more than one nickname stored for him.

mems are comma-delimited, and (I'm pretty sure, though I don't recall trying this myself,) it checks if it is in the list, rather than picking one at random.
I'm running a test bot in the debugger, so the questions are coming hard and heavy.
KP: I have (artadjnoun) [50,0]
does not match "I have a red gem," "I have a gem," or "I have gems." Why?
KP: I have (art|) (adj|) (noun|) [50,0]
does match, but (key1), (key2), and (key3) are empty even if the statement being parsed is "I have a green stone." However, (obmod) does contain "a green stone."
And a tip for the unwary. If a literal (key1) turns up in memories or transcripts, that means the KP didn't contain a (key1). Not exactly what I thought was supposed to happen.

yeah - try it at 50, and see if that helps. You can drop it back a bit then if you don't want it so prominent.

Don't do nickname, create a seperate value altogether. For example, Aries creates mem-pottymouth and assigns it a value if they are too vulgar. He then checks for the existance of that to decide whether a hangup is appropriate
