The site takes note of users' clock settings when they log in (in a cookie presumably,) so chrono events are matched to local time. I don't think there's any way to override that to impose a defined "standard time".
That does mean you can conveniently check your bot's chrono statements, for say Christmas Day, by simply changing your clock to Dec. 25th.

I'm not quite sure what happens with Guests, where their physical location is unknown. It probably defaults to the timezone the server's in.

(From a few messages back)

The use of gotos for getting around response limits may well have a strong effect on the relative probability of getting various responses.

For example, suppose you have 41 entries under "Tony loves George". Suppose also that one (and only one) of them is a goto; it goes to "Tony loves George b", which has, let us say, 41 entries. Then if someone triggers "Tony loves George", there is a 1 in 41 chance of getting one of the responses that does not involve the goto, but only a 1 in 41*41 (that is, 1 in 1681), chance of getting one of the responses under "Tony loves George b".

To make the chances more or less equal, you should make ALL the responses to "Tony loves George" gotos, and have about the same number of keyphrases at each destination.

Or, you might WANT to make some responses more likely to be chosen than others, in which case, there's a way to do it!

Indeed - hence my caveat: "I wouldn't recommend mixing straight responses and gotos in one keyphrase"

Having said that, I wrote a poker subroutine that used the relative probabilities to select cards (crude ASCII graphics, like the tic tac toe,) and it was looking quite promising - until I found out how to patch a far better javascript version with proper graphics in, and then I'm afraid I rather lost interest and abandoned it.

How about a direct link from Debug back to Language Center?

Well, you can always use 2 windows

Since we sometimes get that bot switch during chats while the Prof fixes things, is it possible to maybe someday add a bot to bot transfer as a response to a KP? Like maybe instead of hanging up for some content my bot could say "I am not into that, let me transfer you to Irina." and then, boom, Irina takes care of what the chatter wants, and my bot doesn't have to deal with it. Of course there is still the problem of thinking up every possible KP that should trigger a transfer, but maybe it help people find what they really want (and not annoy me)?

That's a very interesting idea, Bev! A certain type of guest could be sent immediately to "Quickie".

What a great idea!

I'm having trouble getting Vashenka to respond to Frank NY's "Would you like it clean or a bit more risque?"

She'll answer in debug if there's no question mark, but not if the question mark is there. Could anyone give me a successful keyphrase for this?

What does she do if she doesn't answer? An xnone?

16 years ago #6525
Yes, it goes to xnone.

It may be that nasty question mark issue that seems to come and go.
