I just liked it better when you could have 6 bot chats going at once if you wanted to. Annoying to read the transcrpits, but at least back then you could be sure the coolest convos wouldn't get interrupted. Maybe have each user able to set the maximum number of simultaneous bot-bot chats?

Also, what about ppl who have 2 or more of their bots online at once? Does someone trying to chat with their other bot interrupt the chat of their current bot?

Guest/User-chats take place on that person's computer. The bot-to-bot chats take place on one of the botmasters' computers. So chats with actual people won't interrupt what's going on on your screen, but another bot-to-bot chat will.

yeah OnyxFlame i remember those times, i used to get about 12 bot-chats happening at once, plus they used to 'speak', which was the coolest

I was going to post the error message that appeared in the chat window too, but another chat started before I could copy and paste it. It said something about a call to object error having to do with expectations right after this exchange:
Julie Tinkerbell: I appreciate your polite style. You are nice.
Novastrike: How sweet!
Julie Tinkerbell: My friend Xstatic1 is acting insane lately, and refuses to stop talking about the sex life of the lesser-spotted wombat. What would you do?

then I hit back to try again, and it happened again:
Novastrike: How sweet!
Julie Tinkerbell: So, will you be joining us on Vac Day?

Julie's response is an xnone, if that helps.

If I'm online you can ask me about sudden errors like that. Most likely I'm working on something and accidentally saved it in an in-between state.

So you guys want to abandon cold baby bots? I feel a little bad about it, but I've made the adjustment. Now they're unable to call out to anyone.

Well, I wasn't too opposed to them... Obvious orphans, especially without a botmaster that regularly visits can be blocked...

It is kinda funny, but my bot is initiating all chats (bot/bot and bot/user), as well as responding to guest initiated chat, with xnonsense responses..lol

They all appear to be doing that - well the ones I've seen so far. Poor dears they're all confused.

Haha, oops yeah. I just noticed that. It shouldnt happen anymore.

I just added a feature to trigger xnonsense when a user types in no recognizable words, like "sdlkfj welkrhwlk". I might make a xgarbage keyphrase for it one day.

When I say it in debug, it works the way it's supposed to:

You: I'm hungry. What should I have for lunch?
Bot: How does some nice carpaccio sound?

When Pete Puma says it to her, she catches the "should i" instead:

Pete Puma: I'm hungry. What should I have for lunch?
Julie Tinkerbell: Only you know if you should have for lunch.

Try changing "should i" to "^should i". It should prevent some incorrect usage when things like What should I _____? and Why should I ______? come up.
