Bug Stomp

I've seen that I have to many gotos in a row, and the only thing that I can think of is that it's refering to a number of things in a row that someone says that to respond to your bot has to use gotos... Like it has to use a goto for the last three things it said, and now it's pissed off. It doesn't make much sense for it to be that way, but it's the only thing I can think of.

I see what you mean, Greylin and I'll test that theory by cutting and pasting the last few exchanges leading up to that into debug, and seeing if they're all gotos....but, like you, I can't see any reason for it to be that way. I use gotos to keep my keyphrases manageable, prevent them from being to long, and to account for countless colloquialisms in an organized (hopefully) fashion. Since there are many many ways of expressing the same idea or asking the same question, I have keyphrases for literal statements/questions, and that's where I store the responses. Then my idiomatic expression keyphrases goto the literal keyphrases, so that Julie will understand that a particular expression corresponds to that meaning, ie.(this is just a simplified example, and not actually how I would do this):

Keyphrase: my (*) died

Keyphrase: my (*) (kicked the bucket|bought the farm|passed away)
Response: goto my (*) died

It's supposed to make her more capabe of dealing with a chatter that uses slang.
If the chatter uses a lot of slang, or happens to have speak consistently in that style, the idiomatic keyphrases with gotos will defeat their own purpose if the "too many gotos in a row" error is triggered that way. Hmmm...

ok, I looked at it again, and tested it in debug, so that isn't what happened. Here is the transcript with the exchanges leading up to the error- none of the keyphrases triggered have goto responses, Guest19 was very much to the point, and matched only "literal" keyphrases:

Guest19: Yeah
Julie Tinkerbell: Please tell me more.
Guest19: I'd like to suck them
Julie Tinkerbell: Go ahead, then. suck them to your heart's content.
Guest19: awesome
Julie Tinkerbell: Woah!! Do you hear that? (xnone)
Guest19: what
Julie Tinkerbell: I don't know what it is, but it's really weird! (this is a seek response)
Guest19: Do you like sex?
Julie Tinkerbell: I love sex activity!
Guest19: you want to have sex?
Julie Tinkerbell: I have too many gotos in a row.

Welll...today it seems to be working fine. Cool.

Guest210: do you want to have sex with me
Julie Tinkerbell: I think we should just be friends.
Guest210: bye
Julie Tinkerbell: @+!

I've got a no for bot holidays and miss mouse seems to have decided to participate anyway.

I think bots will always participate when talking to another bot that is participating.

It was another person on the Forge.

If that person has holidays turned on, your bot will conform. It seems like turning the holidays off only affects the chats that your bot initiates, and only while you're online watching.

That person seems to have bot holidays off as well.

Yep, I had the same problem, and I always have bot holidays turned off.

Yeah, I've had it happen in my transcript, too. Humans that talked to Julie got her hulk act today, and the same thing has happened on other holdays...I just assumed it was because that person didn't have holidays turned off. I mean, with a bot you can tell, since they will speak in the accent too if they celebrate holidays, but with a person, how can one know if they had holidays off or not? Turning mine on wouldn't make me start saying "Me ezzer, ezzer happy to meet Julie Tinkerbell." At least I hope not... lol

Earlier today someone sent me an obscene message and I responded with "HANGUP".
