it's supposed to work either way, but only works for hard at the moment. :O

That's what I thought. Thanks shadyman. You've been around here for a long time, haven't you?

Uh.. Anything I say can and will be used against me?

Naw, I'm just saying you're one of the steady reliable people who've been here since it started and stick on. I read some of the first posts. Wouldn't it be fun if users could choose the option of whether they would appear on the user?bot list as a bot OR a person?
Persons could pretend to be bots, and vice versa?

Charles- the prof made a change a bit back and added the "users" and "bots", there was a time when you didn't know which bot belonged to who and who was a bot (if it was a good one)

that would be cool...

It's nice to know who the people are, though. That way if I close down a message box because I'm busy, I know it's just a bot.

Bot have feelings too you know, EM!

many bots are bipolar. it comes from using all those 1s and 0s

I've accidently closed a box on people--does posting a general apology work?

Anyway, I have a question. I'm trying to make my bots tell stories using seeks (that way, eventually you choose the story). Since at a certain point I want the bot to continue no matter what the other person says, I used "yes, no, and xnomatch" as a seek. Xnomatch should mean no matter what, the bot continues, right? Anyway, the bots refure to tell the story. They either pick up on another key phrase or go blank. What am I doing wrong?

Bev: I have had that same thing happen to Immaculada too. I'm not sure but it probably is just a glitch. But xnomatch should (if you have it spelled right) keep the story going.

Are you saying my spelling and typing leave something to be desired :-O?

(yes, I love spellcheck--whoever built my brain didn't give me one).
