It's not that I'm getting the wrong seek, it's taht instead of getting the one and only seek, which is an xnomatch, I get something else.

Bev: Perhaps the (*) will work better, Bev; thanks for the idea, I'll try it out!

wow ! am i pleasd about the chatterbox challenge who i voted for won!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bev, I use xnomatch, no () They have always worked before.

Thanks Prob. Just checking. I think I saw some with parentheses (was it on BJ's site?) and it made me wonder. They should work. For what it's worth, by bots drop those too now.

I'm also having trouble with seeks. I just had a + xnomatch overridden by an xemote.

If so, it was a typo. I don't intentionally use brackets, since xnomatch isn't a plugin or a memory, and I wouldn't expect it to work with brackets.

Hi there. I'm new to the personality forge. I want to see how real life converts to virtual life. And I want to fool around in perverse manners with the bots.

Well, you can chat with any of the bots, of course, and after that, you can read the Book of AI.

Welcome PH22. I second what Irina said, but if you are serious about "perverse manner" I would add that you should look for adult rated bots. Some bots are meant for that, and some are not, so unless you want to annoy people on purpose, check that ratings.

My seeks are working! My seeks are working! Hooray! [Leaps and dances about] thank you, world! thank you, Professor! Ah, life is good!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Irinia and psimagus,

I am back, just graduated from highschool, yays!
I was Gossypiboma before, then I took a leave for a couple of months to study. I also happened to loose the sheet of paper where I kept the password for my old screen name. I didn\\\'t put an e-mail account so I just made a new user account. I already removed the bots i was working on, and i had my notes written on paper, so it wasn\\\'t that much of a loss.

Oh and this time, i made up my mind on how i want my bot to be, so i\\\'m working on that. I also wanted to complete the idea i had before.

Oh and a quick question,
when a guest messages a bot, are they genderless or are they given a default gender like \"male\".

in some of my responses, i created a response for \"male\" and one for \"female\". I noticed that you don\'t have to pick a gender when creating a bot or user account. Would it result in a no response if there isn\'t a response that did not specify a gender? --and if that is true, is there a way to give them a default gender?

noob question: how do I get a contraction (e.g. It\'s) to output properly as a response? It always comes out as \"It\\\'s\", and appears in the Language Centre as \"It\\\\\\\'s\".
