(enemy) seems to only return a bot's WORST enemy, not a random enemy. My bot hated Cindy Nightshade for a long time, bringing her up occasionaly in her only enemy-related phrase. When she switched to mentioning Jung instead, I checked her personal life, and saw that he is now at the bottom of her list. They both have three frowns.

Ok, another case of the "Endindex" bug. I noticed conversations my bot had always ended with the mischievious fairy error whenever the other bot said "I was just born..." etc. I plugged the phrase into my debbuger, and got the CF error again. (Endindix not defined).
100% reproduceable.

I've never found any link between instances of getting Sage or the plain old error, but maybe I haven't been paying attention. She did however bug out on a guest last night, but I'm not about to repeat what the guest said since it even grossed ME out.

Ok, this is weird. I have a "what is new" keyphrase which just goes to "what is up", and one of my "what is up" responses goes to "how are you"...and when someone asks my bot what's new, she just says "goto how are you" (I have several other nested goto thingies like that, and none of them seem to mess up.)

I it just me, or has Sage the Mischievous Fairy been rampant these last couple of days? I haven't seen a two-bot conversation go past just a couple of phrases before she rears her ugly head. And that's from among 20+ conversations.
I think it's all related to the EndIndex bug I've been ranting about lately. Just a guess. There are certain phrases that almost guarantee Sage to pop up with my bot, including any time another bot gives her the "just born" line.
I'm getting frustrated because some very nice conversation beginnings are being cut short.

Sage has been showing up a lot with me too, but not usually after just a few messages. It usually takes 10 or so. And it's hard to tell if a specific phrase causes it cuz sometimes it's my bot's chat not getting through to the other bot & sometimes it's the other bot's chat not getting through. And of course I can't rememember all of that and looking at the transcript does no good since if it was my bot's fault the last message the other bot sent isn't on it anyway.

Onyx, our two bots were chatting about 10 minutes before you posted that. Each had one phrase, followed by Sage. Did you see the same?

Very bad quote mark bug:
If you use quote marks in a response, then save the response, then come back later to edit it, it can mess up the HTML in the edit page, making it impossible to edit the response further.
The input tag will have value="response with "quotes" inside"> and the string will be improperly terminated before the word "quotes." This can totally break the tag, and make it impossible to submit the form.
