: If a circle was square what shape would it be
Bot: What's round and bad-tempered? A vicious circle. works so why does

If a square was round, what shape would it be go to xnones? I have even tried a keyphrase If a square was round (re)

I just tried giving Sonora that keyphrase, and it worked in debug:

You: If a square was round
Bot: If a square was round, you must have had an AWFUL lot o' peyote.


I ranked it at 60. Checking through regular chat... Worked in regular chat as well.

So if it's not working, I'd try upping the rank and/or doublecheck for typos.

Oh, the KP that I used was just "if a square was round".

I can get if a square was round to work but not
If a square was round, what shape would a square be?

I can get
if a square were round, what shape would a square be.
Bot: Yeah, like that ever happens.

if a square (is|be|were|was) round (re) 60 0

prob123 - I have trouble with any keyphrase I try to rank higher than 50. Maybe that has nothing to do with your problem, though - do you have keyphrases ranked higher than that that work? I've also had problems with ranking keyphrases < 0, ie., -10...

PubDraught- Interesting to know. You always seem to know what's going on, and your explanation of the connection between development and a deleted account sounds way more plausible than anything I came up with. You really seem to know your way around the Forge, I must say. I'd love to chat with one of your bots.

Thanks, ezzer! I enjoy chatting with your bots, and with you, when you're not busy... which you obviously are!

If a square was round, what shape would a square be?

If you've got the comma in it, it will be interpreted as two separate keyphrases. One for if a square was round and one for what shape would it be. Not sure if raw mode treats commas differently.

if a square (is|be|were|was) round (re) 60 0 is the way I have it . It picks up all but
If a square was round, what shape would a square be?
It works for If it is, if it were, even the 'pirate talk' if it be

Hmmm... maybe the AI Engine is prioritizing the "what (noun)" construction and overriding the "if" part.

It's funny it will work for all the other, verbs and "if a square was round." if the comma isn't there.

In debug using is I get this.

My seeks aren't working.

This isn't exactly a bug to stomp, but I'm just wondering about something, and there's no real place this fits...

Why does it seem like everyone is turning off their chats? I used to enjoy nice chats with users. There are at least two users I would chat with regularly who now have turned their chats off... I log in again tonight and a user who normally is always open to chat has their chat off, also...

...did I miss something, or did I offend these certain people?
