LunaGaurd, Just keep reading... and experimenting... I'll be honest with you and will say, that although I'm a professional computer programmer by trade, I myself sometimes have difficulty pulling what I need from the book of AI. It seems to be written well enough but could use more "examples". On the other side of the coin, it certainly leaves a lot open for interpretation which I'm sure helps each bot to have a lot of individuality.
To sum it up, I think bot creation is one part science, and one part random trial and error.
And maybe one part that results from the Professor trying out different concepts, adding new features, fixing bugs, and just plain "testing". It gets very interesting.

Dear Friends:
I have a question: If a guest says something that takes more than one sentence, could a keyphrase or seek include more than one sentence? For example, if the guest said, "I came. I saw. I conquered.", would that be successfully matched by "I (*) I (*) I"? Oh, I suppose I should just try it!

Dear Friends:
Apparently, I am terribly unimaginative when it comes to talking TO a bot. I chat with bots that are listed as highly developed, and it often seems to become quite repetitive very soon. If I say bizarre things, I just get the vague default or xnone answers. I know there must be tons of stuff in there, but I'm not getting to it! Can any of you help me with this?

Irina, I have chatted with several 'developed' bots and found the same thing you have. I think it has to do with speech patterns and dialects. I had a nice chat with Jinjirrie from Australia last night and found myself getting rather tongue-tied frequently because she used phrases I've never heard before.
Good point, Aries! Irina Khalidar has often had the experience of bots who use so much slang or jargon that she can't match very much.
I can see the appeal of using slang or jargon, and of course Irina has her own dialect, but a bot should respond to some kind of standard English as well, if they want to reach a wide audience.
Bots can also prod the interlocutor, asking questions and giving hints about what would bring about a response. Suppose, for example, that bot X has a lot to say about botulism. Well, the interlocutor isn't likely to bring the subject up spontaneously. But if you have a few responses with "botulism" in them, eventually the interlocutor will mention it.
A brutal but effective way of going where YOU want to go is to use xnone or xnomatch for that purpose, or to go there as a response to extremely common words, e.g., (sex|violence|pleasure|intrigue|riches|celebrity|life itself|god|motherhood and apple pie) might trigger, "(key1) is all very well, (name), but let me tell you about botulism. ...".
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have lots of alternatives to a given keyphrase. Some might need 10 or 15!

I've been using xnone for that but I like the way you think.. not going to work on it today though, today is the day Aries starts getting his memory..
In case anyone is interested, I did that experiement; I tried matching (rank 50!)
I came. I saw. I went.
with
I (*) I (*) I
It wouldn't match!
This makes it difficult to notice any kind of narrative continuity.
