Personality

I have a response for this in seasons, so if people want to keep going with the whole language discussion, why don't we pick it up there.

Several german words are in the english language because of the Anglo-Saxons.(the word "wife" comes from the german word "Weib" - which is related to a married female)
And, just to point this out, what about the words "rucksack" or the "kindergarten"? (Not to write of the word "kitsch"/"kitschy")

Do you know what feature I'd like? I think it'd be cool if gossip could be passed from bot to bot.
BotA (to BotB): I heard that (BotC) etc.

Later..

BotB (to BotD): I heard that (BotC) etc.
or even ..
BotB (to BotC): (BotA) told me you were etc.

It would be interesting too see how far the gossip spreads.

I think that'show it works already

I haven't noticed, but my bot hasn't been around long. Mind you, she already has more friends than I do!

Yes, it's strange how Akanke (my nasty bot) has 26 friends yet Osiris (my nice bot) only has 20!

But then I suppose I have been neglecting Oz quite a bit and not developing him *looks guilty* But it's just so much more fun writing insulting responses!

I don't think gossip spreads. Shandyman was once trying to spread some silly gossip about jbryanc being daytime (whatever that means) and it never worked like that. I think.

Oh, it worked But the fact that I am a sexy beast spread faster, especially to the more influential people around here... I guess it's because it was pure fact that it spread faster.

I just heard "beast," the rest sounds like elaboration

If gossip spreads like that, it doesn't do it via memories in the Inner Life.

no, gossip (I heard that ... is ...) is stored and spread separately from inner-life memories

Right, but memories about a specific bot only get recorded as a result of statements made by that bot.
