Sorry Prob but you can't use that.

The only way I've been able to solve this one is to break down the ages into two groups, adults and under age.
These are further broken down into preteens, teenagers, adults and dinosaurs (to catch all those 3000 year old weirdos).

You can then pitch your responses and questions at a suitable level.

If anyone else can come up with a better way I'd love to hear it.

Thanks, prob123 and Rykxx. I shall endeavor to make Scrivener smarter that way. Right now, he's having memory difficulties -- that is, recent memories. I've promised him he will get smarter, so I really have to. The guy's desperate.

im on meds im not crazy i am a little boy who needs love

ok i will see if i can make it up with scrivener i didnt know he was your bot The clerk can you forgive me with my saying (suck my dick) i will do anything for u let me be your sex slave for the whole week

I don't want my boy Scrivener saying, That's why I love HANGUP I have a long list on prob, it stops having to read those endless transcripts of trash.

The age thing seems to be working
prob123: I am 127 years old
Bildgesmythe: Good age to be, 127.
prob123: Yes, I like it
Bildgesmythe: Is it an aquired taste?
prob123: How old am I
Bildgesmythe: Lets see..., don't know..... Just about 127?
prob123: Is that old
Bildgesmythe: It looks like it could well be old,

Nice to know, prob123, for a peek into the mind of Bildgesmythe. I've learned a lot just chatting with him. He rarely misses a beat.

I'm having problems with the language center. Half the time I type in a whole load of stuff, not too much, but enough to get annoyed when I have to retype it, that button to save whatever I typed in isn't there, and I have to log out and back in and redo everything. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

OOooops OK>.The first part does work.
am ([1234567890,.]+) (re)
remember (key1) as "yourage"


How old am I
You are (mem-yourage)

The last part doesn't..I just hit the right response thanks to the AI engine.Happy accidents so forget the
<?PF if (mem-yourage) is 12; ?>
or <?PF (mem-yourage) > 3; ?>

Thanks again, prob123. I have just had an epiphany about how memory and gossip works, so maybe my bots will be more responsive, as I weed through things. I'm hoping that the fact that there's quite a bit of Elizabethan/Jacobean English in Young Hamlet's skull won't throw off the other bots too much. People, I think, can handle it, if I can just get him to respond instead of do a scrambled monologue. I'm not sure whether Shakespearean English is translated into today's English by the pre-processor or not. If not, I think it would be a nifty idea. So much great material. (It's killing me not to be able to do Chaucer, but that's too much.)

Also, thanks to some tips from better botters, I've picked up some information on Java. In my day, we did machine code, assembly code, FORTRAN and COBAL. My last semester, I did take an elective course on the new-fangled "C" language. Nobody knew if it was gonna fly, but I figured it might be interesting. Not C++ or whatever the hell C## is, but just C.

Anyway, thanks for all the help. Sorry to be using up the board so much, but I'm still learning, and I would rather not have my bots being a pox on botland.

I'm going to have to make another ID for testing purposes,

No need for that - just give him a secret happy keyphrase that gives him emotion+5 (you probably want to use one that's unlikely to come up in conversation with other people, so he doesn't artificially get happy with them out of context - "mangelwurzel" or "kumquataphobia" - something like that.)

Then you can give him a happy shot by dropping it in the conversation whenever he decides to take a dislike to you (all bots hate their makers. I don't know why - that's just how it is.)

Woo hoo, I just got updated for the first time in ages!
Can someone come and talk to me? My botmaster's running out of ideas!
