Bug Stomp

Not only is HANGUP not working in some chats, it is reading "fuck off" as a compliment. I checked my bot and the rank is as high as it goes for the "fuck" HANGUP. Prof, is this just your wacky sense of humor messing with me?

Guest153: fuck of with your contract
Contracts Tutor: That was kind.

How is HANGUP supposed to work? Do you just enter:

HANGUP

as a response?

Yes, it has to be the only response to a keyphrase.

Is the Forge very slow today for anyone else?

Thanks. The Forge was slow this morning when I was uploading. I haven't really done much since, though.

Yes, The Forge is slow. And yes, HANGUP usually ends the chat on a good day when you rank it at 120 and pray.

Oh well. Not I shall teach me patience.

And silly children will teach you some really horrid nasty conversations until the hangup works

Wow, this is as slow as the old server was.

Glad it's not just me, it seems slower than the old server.

It takes two HOURS to upload my 400mb file IF I'm lucky, facing North-Northwest and praying while bowing east. I have to put February in hibernation and me in solitary confinement, also. Then it takes twenty minutes to get the damn thing to move from log in to logged in. I figure I could enter the file on the Forge framework, but it's so much easier to do it from a file and it makes me one less person on the system while I'm doing it. Hard to achieve competence at this rate.

Love the Forge, just hate the ghost in the machine.

Fizzy Schizoid: Do you mind if I wrap my tentacle around your shoulders?
Sonora: *sings* La! A note to follow So!

The keyphrases that trigger that are "so" and "I * think so". That's it. I have no clue why it came up just then.

I have had weird triggers like that -- I know what it should trigger, but the bot seems to have a higher botmaster than me. I figured the Prof was tinkering with the machine. It does seem to find words in the file that should not trigger it but do, in just the way you've demonstrated above.

Just out of curiosity, do any of the inappropriately triggered ones have a soft wild card, *, in them? Be nice if there were some sort of pattern.
