@Manishearth Message does not qualify as a message that belongs to the word association game.

1:05 PM

^ Yes, it has to be a reply.

@FOX9000 banana

@Manishearth probable

Steps to reproduce the issue: reply with a word to which the bot does not find a reply, edit the message, use the >>link command to manually add a link to two words and then use the reply command.

@ProgramFOX could you add a mirror command that just replies back the content?

same code as reply, except not part of the word game

@Manishearth Good idea, will add it.

maybe it's cached

There's lazy loading, but not caching

Wait, yeah!

let's see in few minutes :)

The lazy loading makes it indefinitely cached

bleh

or does it

@Manishearth so how you explain this?

@ShadowWizard @ProgramFOX the issue isn't that it picks up the non-latest message

the bot has caching

it caches messages

I... haven't added caching, I think.

@Manishearth can it be disabled?

@ShadowWizard actress

@ProgramFOX can you add a "recent" argument to the reply command, to save the need to find the ID every time? It will just take the last word the bot tried to reply to

@ShadowWizard Good idea, will add it.

@ShadowWizard @ProgramFOX use Message(id, client) instead of get_message

:O

@Nick_Craver Found a bug in my #StackExchange Chat API. The cause was caching on my side. You guys are a bad influence -_- :P @balpha

Caching. It's always caching.

@ShadowWizard manager

lol, @Manishearth!

1:30 PM

:D

:P

@ShadowWizard Yes, but avoiding this would make sure that the regex would truncate everything in a message like (foo) blah (bar).

@DroidDev cryopreservation means kind of freezing, but in a way it can be unfrozen at any time. My opinion? The benefit overcomes the pain, the miracle of new life wins. Having a child from the one you loved is priceless, and while painful, it's also wonderful.

@ShadowWizard oh! ya, that I never thought of.

@SPArchaeologist But... why?

1:53 PM

You are breaking my kind of planned feature that would reply 'pony' if the bot couldn't find another word and if @SPArchaeologist posted it :P

this

Note that 'yay' is also a common message without it being a word game word; to avoid chain breaks because of this, I wouldn't add a linked word for 'yay'

@ProgramFOX the WAG chain is safe, if the bot would reply just to random "yay" it won't affect the WAG chain itself :)

@SPArchaeologist yay

@ShadowWizard Fluttershy

See? It's just a 3-items chain, unrelated to the WAG

1:56 PM

If your script can handle that, everything is fine :)

@ProgramFOX sure, the script goes only upwards, from the latest WAG item up to the very first

ok

Slogan (heraldry)

A slogan is used in Scottish heraldry as a heraldic motto or a secondary motto. It usually appears above the crest on a coat of arms, though sometimes it appears as a secondary motto beneath the shield. The word slogan dates from 1513, though it is a variant of the earlier slogorn, which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm. == Mottoes and heraldry == The word slogan dates from 1513. It is a variant of the earlier slogorn, which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry"). Slogans are used in heraldry, most notably ...

as a reference

@ProgramFOX Would it be problematic to make the bot randomly chose a related word from the top 5 or 10 found? While users try to not repeat themselves, the bot always reply the same way - choosing randomly would add a little variety.

@SPArchaeologist Yes, I know, that's planned.

I will work on it now.

@ProgramFOX no need to hurry

@SPArchaeologist I know, but it has been bugging me for a while, so it's time to fix it for good :D
