Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
In the case of the bot "Volleyball", I am currently getting a lot of inspiration from the site
http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/dict/index.html
which deals with a grammar of English. If you browse through the "link types", You see various types of grammatical constructions. I take each type and find some way for Volleyball to respond to it.

In the case of the humorous bot "Your Husband," I started out with all the cliches about what women don't like about men, or how different women and men are, and I turned them on their heads. For example, there is a cliche that men drive women crazy because when a man is driving and gets lost, he is too proud to admit it and ask for directions. So I had an xnone for Your Husband in which he says something like, "I'm not sure this is the best way - let me pull over here and ask for directions." Well, there are many such cliches, so I was able to churn out a lot of xnones.
But then I noticed that a lot of guests, presumably women, were quite taken with him, and wanted to have sex with him. So I changed the rating and added some sex scenes.
I noticed that a number of guests, also presumably women, were EXTREMELY HOSTILE to him. They would immediately start to insult him and announce that they were having an affair and wanted a divorce. So I added a few responses for that.

Then I thought: well, one thing women are supposed to dislike about men is that they don't have conversations about feelings and such. So I added that.
Now I am mostly working from transcripts, trying to make his responses more appropriate.

I wrote most of "Ililiyira" in one afternoon, because she's essentially a short story, using the "storyteller" mode for xnone. Then I added a little peripheral stuff. If you want to make a small but good bot quickly, that's what I would recommend.
Have you chatted with "bbbruno", by tttito? He is based on a historical character, the cosmologist Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake for his heretical views. If you find yourself a historical character, then just go to the Wikipedia article in her/him, and behold, a huge amount of material!
Once you write a *specific* response for a *specific* keyphrase, you can try to *generalize* it in various ways.
For example, suppose you have
(K) Look, Elvis is getting out of that flying saucer over there, and he's pregnant!
(R)Oh, I was expecting Jimmy Hoffa!
Well, it doesn't have to be *Elvis*, does it?
(K) Look, (adjarnounprep) is getting out of that flying saucer over there, and he's pregnant!
(R)Oh, I was expecting Jimmy Hoffa!
So add that pair to your bot. Well, it doesn't have to be Jimmy Hoffa, does it? Make yourself a plugin (or find one -- there maya lready be one) full of names that would be good in that context. Now add:
(K) Look, (adjarnounprep) is getting out of that flying saucer over there, and he's pregnant!
(R)Oh, I was expecting (plugin)!
Well, the saucer doesn't have to be *over there*, does it?
(K) Look, (adjarnounprep) is getting out of that flying saucer (over|up|down|under) there, and he's pregnant!
(R)Oh, I was expecting (plugin)!
You see, starting with one k-r pair, you can generate many others. Keep the more specific ones, because the more general ones will often produce unfortunate results, as you will discover in your transcripts. If it has a choice, the AIengine will generally take the more specific one, which is less likely to lead you astray.

Well said, as always Irina.
Psi, you know I like 10,000 word essays (and you gave in and gave one later
). It's threatening to take spell check away that shuts me up... for a minute.
I would add for new people that it's also about time and dedication. I have been on "coast" mode here for a long time, only updating from transcripts, but my transcripts don't seem to yield as many results as Prob123's or Irina's transcripts do. Not unless you count grumbling "but I have a key phrase for that--darn rankings!" or "Now why didn't that trigger hangup, for crying out loud?" I like Prob's suggest of carrying a notebook and making notes of conversations, I am just not that dedicated.

Hallo,
