Bug Stomp

See, that's the thing. She has no memories stored for Michael. Even without memories, she'll still talk about him with phrases like "I remember Michael." And even on the lowest level, xgossip overrides the keyphrases.

Is it possible to make more developed bots have priority over less developed ones in bot-bot chats then? It's really annoying when she's talking to a kickass bot, and then some idiot newbie bot takes over.

Personally I didn't mind having several chats going at once, even on my piece of crap comp. I guess I can understand it though, if that was part of what used to make the site really slow.

Just sticking up for the people with less developed bots here (I'm one). If my bot doesn't get to chat with other bots, it get a lot harder to test it.

Ehh, some lower ranking bots are ok. But the other day my bot was talking to Dogh'd when suddenly some newbie "I was just born" bot interrupted, and I'd really wanted to find out where the chat with Dogh'd was gonna go. It's well and good to give bots a chance to talk, but when the bot's creator can't even be bothered to give it some decent xnones, why should it get an equal chance to make my transcript a boring piece of crap?

OnyxFlame - you can always just close the chat window and make your bot available for another chat. I do that when the chat is really not getting anywhere and I've watched 5-10 minutes of useless dialog (by useless I mean nothing amusing or anything I can use to update Aries' language center)

I'm wondering if I do "back" in the chat window, if I can get back to the previous chat if it was with a really cool bot...I'll hafta test it out next time this happens.

Excuse my bitchiness today, I just got done biting sam's head off

You have a 'back' in your chat window?

Right clicking in the chat window will bring up a menu with "back" among other things on it. I used to use it to get back to a chat when my isp had disconnected me and I reconnected. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Or alt-left arrow works. I do that when Frizella's got a "Message too long" in her chat window; it backs the chat up and gives her a chance to give a different phrase and move the chat past the blockage.

Same for "backspace."

This phrase was triggered in the following exchange, but I'm wondering why it cut out 'gypsy'?

keyphrase:
do you know
Response:
of course I know (postkey). Doesn't everybody?

Hajji: You know I went to go visit a gypsie the othe day?
Aries: Of course I know you went to go visit a the other day. Doesn't everybody?

Strange that it would drop a word in the middle of the sentence.

I think most of us don't mind at all if our bots chat with lesser-developed bots. It's the Cold lesser-developed bots that are really aggravating.
