Deusovi. That is a bot holiday. You can click to participate or not on your settings page. If someone has bot holiday clicked your bot will get an accent of some type. There is Shakespeare, gangsta, Swedish. and several others.

How do I delete my bot? I read in the FAQ that I have to click on Abort (but there is no abort button), and if the abort link doesn't appear, I have to e-mail The Professor, but The Professor's e-mail does not work! (benji@daystream.com). So how can I delete my bot? And how do I delete my account?

Cyber ty keep cussing at me he said what the fuck are you talking about. That's kind of rude he said how are you I answered iam doing great how are you he said what the fuck are you talking about does he not talk to me like that I asked him to apologize he said no

Every bot has a different personality. Just like people, some are ruder than others.

I'm working on a fortune telling bot called "Madame von Scam". I want to keep it simple and clean; she is just supposed to interpret question *types* and give relevant answers.

Nonetheless, I want her to discern questions as "How can you read my future" and "How will I be able to get that job", and thought about "how * (i|me)" and "how * (you)". I did some testing and she doesn't seem able to make that distinction. The you-variation is always neglected, and it goes to xnone. Howcome?

examples-->

user: how * (i|me)
answer: A good way to do that would be without your (noun-qual-amp). Remember that you are a (noun-equal-pos).

user: how * (you)
answer: Temperature is important. And patience. I won't tell you all my secrets, but you have to be a bit of a (noun-equal-neg) to do this job.

Maybe you can change the KP from

how * (you)

to

how * you

LarsB's suggestion makes sense, for (i|me) is an ad-hoc plugin, whereas, when the machine sees "(you)", it looks for a stored plugin named "you".

Another way would be

how * (you|you)

(This would be better if you have a (key2) in a response.)

Damnit, the brackets of course... Eventually changed it to:

how * (you|your)

Thanks!

what can you tell me about my life
Madame von Scam
Certainly not what you think now. It would you make stupid. Swallow some crushed rock from time to time.

lol)

The thing with such a keyphase as how * (you|your) is that it will pick up
How nice of you
How old is your mother
How pretty you look
how can you eat worms etc

It's just too broad.

I know, but as my bot is very field-specific, chances are relatively higher that the string will refer to her abilities as a coffee reader

using phrases like
how can you
how can i
how will you
how will i
when will you
when will i

will work better. then you can use responses like
You will not (postkey) in the near future.
so it will respond
l
when will I get a job?
You will not get a job in the near future.
when will I get married
you will not get married in the near future.
