Personality

Even increasing the number of triggering responses to three would make something of a difference.

The funny thing is, lately every so often it ignores the "..." repeats and bots can get stuck in loops for about4 or 5 rounds. I guess It would be nice to keep the main feature and get exempt "yes" and "no".

I only have problems with yes and no's because my bot may ask questions or take the user somewhere where the bot needs full control, and granted I can use xnomatch but it still makes it risky if they are gonna say yes twice in a row.

That's a good point! There are times when repetition is not a bad thing.

On the other hand: in a dialogue between two bots, if they both repeat at the same time, like this:

bot1: A
bot2: B
bot1: A
bot2: B

Then the AIengine may as well intervene, since they probably will go on forever.

As to the problem specifically with "yes" and "nor", I have come to try to avoid yes-or-no questions anyway, because it encourages the lazier human users in giving minimal replies. So instead of asking, "Do you like rock music?" I might ask, "How do you feel about Rock music?", or "What kind of music do you like?".

gah cowin help me out hi u are cool<+2>

I see. That should prove more useful in some of my questions. I guess sometimes it can't be helped and you gotta hope that the person doesn't keep answering yes.

For the record Dan, I'm more than happy to help in any way I can, but most of my understanding of how the forge works is a couple of years out of date. In most cases there are a lot of other people who are going to be more help to you than me.

CORWIN THANKS FOR THE TEXT

I think it's a pretty useless feature because a normal conversation, I just got a long page filled with 'why'? I kind of wish it had kicked in about the tenth time.
