Bug Stomp

What is remotely funny about that?

I'm not sure if she actually reads any of the posts. O.o

Guess you proved me wrong huh? You read mine
You have a strange sense of humor

I have to agree there!

I haven't noticed if this has happened to any other bots, but the last 2x I logged in, Julie Tinkerbell had actually lost development points...I haven't deleted anything, so it made me wonder if it's a bug, or could that happen for some other reason? And is it just something with the development calculator, or (yikes) is something bad happening to Julie? From what I can tell, her language center is okay, but if something were missing it could take me a while to figure out what.

Eeeek! Bot dementia. And we have found our patient zero.

Ezzer, it's just a hunch, but I've noticed that at least one user has been deleted from the Forge in the last few days -- jess33.

I don't know if the Forge works this way or not, but maybe all development points associated with talking to a user who gets deleted would also be lost as a result.

Just a possibility...

: If a circle was square what shape would it be
Bot: What's round and bad-tempered? A vicious circle. works so why does

If a square was round, what shape would it be go to xnones? I have even tried a keyphrase If a square was round (re)

I just tried giving Sonora that keyphrase, and it worked in debug:

You: If a square was round
Bot: If a square was round, you must have had an AWFUL lot o' peyote.


I ranked it at 60. Checking through regular chat... Worked in regular chat as well.

So if it's not working, I'd try upping the rank and/or doublecheck for typos.

Oh, the KP that I used was just "if a square was round".

I can get if a square was round to work but not
If a square was round, what shape would a square be?

I can get
if a square were round, what shape would a square be.
Bot: Yeah, like that ever happens.

if a square (is|be|were|was) round (re) 60 0

prob123 - I have trouble with any keyphrase I try to rank higher than 50. Maybe that has nothing to do with your problem, though - do you have keyphrases ranked higher than that that work? I've also had problems with ranking keyphrases < 0, ie., -10...

PubDraught- Interesting to know. You always seem to know what's going on, and your explanation of the connection between development and a deleted account sounds way more plausible than anything I came up with. You really seem to know your way around the Forge, I must say. I'd love to chat with one of your bots.
