Did I just try too hard here? I got "Dad(dy)" out of this. Any smarter person know what's wrong with this sentence? I mean, I can put the things in there one by one, but I thought I knew what I was doing.

Well, isn't it true? I told him how American education was terrible and (you|(botlandcharacters)|Ma(|((|m|mm)a))|Pa(|w|pa)|Dad(|dy)|Mom(|my|ther|ma)|The Queen|(USpresidents)) thought mine out to be different.

The problem is that you can't nest local plugins. At least, not without getting weird results. You can use plugins that you've defined elsewhere.

So (you|(botlandcharacters)|Ma(ma_ending)|Pa(pa_ending)|Dad(dad_ending)), etc, would work after you defined those plugins, but as soon as you start nesting anything else in the parentheses, things go wonky.

Like I wouldn't want to do (some(thing|one)|any(thing|one)). I've got nested parentheses there.

Okay. I just split them up since I didn't know what else to do. And I thought I was starting to get smart.

Thanks, Ulrike.

Lately, it seems that my bots randomly go willy-nilly from xinitiate/xhello/xintroduce to xgottago/xgoodbye. Sometimes this happens with the other bot, which hurts my bot's feelings, but I talk to him about not worrying about what other bots think of him. But now another issue that I've always had: How in the world do you get a bot to recognize that something is NOT a command? It can be a one-word keyphrase or a multiple-word keyphrase. Usually I can find an imperative in there somewhere, but out of context.

Seems like I might've brought this up before, but I never got it through my skull.

On an unrelated topic, there's this: the Professor kindly changed Deranged and Unhinged II back to Demented and Unhinged. (I know, I know, getting old.) That was because I wanted them under one account. But they've devolved a bit, so I'm re-doing some things that I'd fixed. Your patience is appreciated.

If you have a keyphrase for something, that nearly always overrides xcommand. And, yes, some very odd things get interpreted as commands. A ways back, there's a series of posts discussing a bot who announced "But I don't know how to France!" *shrugs*

i thought u liked me *shrugs* talks to her self hurts her wrists in anger

Thanks, Ulrike. Yesterday got too hectic offline for me to pay much attention to what I was doing online. (Refrigerator died, poured water all over the floor, etc.) I'll check their language -- although I rarely put anything above a 1, occasionally (like with foul language), I put it way up there. But still, that might just be the problem.
