Personality

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.

Continuing message 4175:

To get the guest's preferences, you might just ask; like this, for example:

Tell me, (mem-name), which would you most like to talk about: religion, politics, sex, current events, or sports?
    + religion [0]
    Religion it is, then! <?PF rem "religion" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>
    + politics [0]
    Politics it is, then! <?PF rem "politics" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + sex [0]
    Sex it is, then! <?PF rem "sex" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + current events [0]
    Current events it is, then! <?PF rem "current events" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>

    + sports [0]
    sports it is, then! <?PF rem "sports" as only "preferred_topic"; ?>
    + none, I don't want any of (those|them), not any [0]
    What would you like to talk about, then?
        + xnomatch [0]
        I'll see my botmaster about programming me to deal with that!

(If your bot is "Teen" or "Everyone", you may of course want to substitute "love" or "romance" for "sex"; and in general, the choice of topics is up to you.)

get friends to help you to do your bots personality. my friend sian said my bot letty lotshould be a lover so she said why dont you say that she is looking for love. so get friends to help.

Welcome Amazing. It's good to have friends. Do you have a friends named Roxy by any chance? Just wondering.

Anyway, what is your bot doing that makes you need o go into debug and figure it out? If you develop her a bit more, you may get something more like what you are hoping for.

thanks bev i will try it out!!!

Wasn't Roxy a Brisbanite rather than from Leeds?

Corwin, Yes, but they spell England the same way (not that I note spelling much). Could be nothing. I just had a feeing of de ja vu.

I missed the Roxy era (assuming that I am not just unconsciously another subpersonality of the same being); what was she like?

You can find a few comments and responses to her via the Newcomers Index : (http://www.be9.net/BJ/newcomers.htm) - see under Flames &c - roxie
There might be a couple of anagram blasts left under Flights of Fancy Free - anagrams, but there was a lot of collateral damage when the Prof expunged her.

All her original posts were deleted by the Prof (except one more than a year previously from a different user name that I believe was her too,) - you'll see from the deleted posts log how many there were around that time!

Yeah, catching up on the posts as I did a couple of months back there were pages and pages with only 6 posts on them cos the other 9 were deleted.

Looks like Blair_321's back. Or one of his little friends

I reported him. It makes me feel so mean and powerful.
