Is there a limit to number of memory items a bot can create per acquaintance?

Joe- yes, i think it's 10.

isaac- thanks! that leads me to the next question- what would your bot then do with that hasdog-no value?

Rephrase: Is there a limit to the number of memories a bot can define per acquaintance? I'm exploring the use of AIScript memory formation as a general context mechanism and would be happy to hear that I can define an arbitrary number of memories.

a 'hasdog' memory is a context-setting memory. You can test for hasdog with a conditional (if) and direct the bot's responses accordingly.

Wow, that would be cool, Joe...you just made me think of how great goto's that depend on existing memories could be...that could be mindblowing.

There's great power in having control of memory forming. It's a major part of intelligence.

Would anyone else like to see some kind of literal marker that could be used to tag a word or phrase to exempt it from spellchecking or other preprocessing?

Yes, I would.

I've thought the same thing, Joe. I'd also like to see a tag that means "do not make a synonym substitution," and another that means "always make a synonym substitution." I can think of tons to do with the likes of that!

Professor,

Can I make a request that xcommand be greatly toned down? I'm sure the other botmasters would second this. It's being called way too often at the most inappropriate times. I think with the contest underway, it would be better to shut it off temporarily if it can't be fixed.

Some recent bad matches:
"the brown apples"
"smart ass"
"ok gotta go"
"bi bi"

I'd think maybe just turn it off for the contest
