Prob123--those rankings are often the problem. That's why we need live chatters. I can't tell you how many times I've read a transcript where you were talking with my bots and I thought "What? That's in there! Why didn't she pick up on that KP?" Aphrodite blessed rankings. Loki take 'em all! *grumbles*

I had a question a few pages back about overriding the xinsult with a seek. My problem is, I spent some considerable time teaching my bot how to play tic tac toe, with the possible responses for each human's move as a seek to my bot's next move. I can't just make the seek a regular keyword, because it wouldn't make any sense. I'm not sure using the bot's memory would work, and I'm not really sure how to do it as it was explained by ulrike. I don't understand how "bottom middle" is even an insult, and I was wondering if there is any way to just 'turn it off'?

Tic tac toe? Well, I numbered my squares A1-C3 - have a look at http://www.be9.net/BJ/ (click Code Examples) for the full listing, and help yourself if it's useful.

I see. Well, I used top,middle,bottom for rows and left, middle, right for columns. I don't want to go back and redo over a hundred seeks, or I would definitely use your coordinate system. But that being said, is there no other way to disable "bottom middle" as an insult? I mean, it doesn't even make sense.

well, I can't see why it would intepret that as an insult, but sometimes the AIEngine can have a bit of a mind of its own. Have you tried it in raw mode? The only drawback is that it won't correct typos then.

I just tried "bottom middle" on Johanna, a much more advanced bot than mine. She/it registered it as an insult, too, so I don't think it's just my bot. I don't think raw mode would be very good for my young bot. Any other suggestions?

--just figured out, it's "bottom" that the bot recognizes as an insult.

bottom middle
Bot: Where! Oh, never mind, I get it.

I just have it as a keyphrase, any bot with it as a keyphrase will not take it as an insult, if the don't the AI engine will note the word bottom and find it insulting.

well, raw mode should stop the AIEngine over-analysing it. Making it a regular expression in raw mode would certainly solve it, but raw mode on its own would probably do it.

(to prob123) It worked for me just saying "bottom___" in a conversation, but it had no effect within the tictactoe seek scheme I created. I was Soooo close...

(to psimagus) Ok, so what is this raw mode you speak of? I'm under the impression that, if I turn it on, it will not translate "ya," or whatever into "yes." What do you mean by making something a regular expression in raw mode? I don't think that was covered in AI 101.

Smackdork, just go to http://www.be9.net/BJ/ Psimagus has one GREAT tic tac toe plug in..!!!

Bah! But I like mine! I checked it out, and it's the same, but he uses a coordinate system.
