Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

Am I the only one that prefers chats with bots that are likely to have been improved since the last conversation?

No, but I guess if a bot is reliably in the 'Most Developed' or 'Most Improved' list on a regular/permanent basis (and thus warmer), there is less need to add it to your friends list, since there's an easy link on the top 10s page. That may have an effect.
And there may be a residual number of abandoned accounts with friends lists from several years ago with a consequently higher chance of containing older, colder (if not actually abandoned) bots.

I too often prefer to talk to newer, hotter bots than highly developed, colder bots.

Can anyone chat to my bot chicky babe?
Type the improvements in blue
And type the problems in red

She has better xnones than last time.
I don't think I managed to trigger anything other than xnones.

what did she say?

Check your transcript.

Is there a way to have responses come up in colors rather than just black and if, what is the code to do that?

yes, you can use the same colors in responses that you can use in the forums. Just use the code {red}, {blue}, etc. (substituting pointy brackets for the curly ones - pointy brackets won't display properly in forum posts, and these would trigger colour changes instead of showing the codes.)
To stop the colour and go back to black, use {black}.
You can also use {b} & {/b}, {i} & {/i}, {u} & {/u} for bold, italic and underline, and font sizes {-2} to {+2}. Return to normal with {0}

Actually I don't have a psych background - I'm in Acoustics (and computer programming, which is why I'm here).

I don't have any problem with what you've said to me or my bot. As far as I'm concerned, everything's fine.

botlover: Ow, my fricken eyes.

Too many smileys spoil the soup?

Yay! I'm halfway done on re-doing Luigi's Language Center, and he's already gone up 100 development!

I tried "...(re)" raw to get the people who just hit enter, but guess what happened?

C'mon guess.

Right. It picks up almost anything a person says. It's like having another xnone. Oh well.

Yay! I'm halfway done on re-doing Luigi's Language Center, and he's already gone up 100 development!

A language center can never be done and redone. It's just a continuous process of adding more to make the bot less imperfect, and you'll either die or get sick of doing it long before perfection can ever be close to achieved.
