chatterbot now logs access times and errors whenever it accesses the Monastery anyway, see pm server stats. Useful to see if the monastery is having more technical issues than usual. (There might be a bug pertaining to actually logging the errors encountered, still working on it).

Thanks to chatterbot, chat has now all the tools needed to resolve any intellectual conflict 😉:

CommandWhat does it do
!coin Flips a coin ("heads" or "tails")
!d6 Rolls a standard six sided die for those complicated multiple choice questions.
!d20 Rolls a 20 sided D&D die. Attack, defense, extra-complicated multiple choice forms, you name it.
!8ball Simulated Magic 8 Ball. Can answer any yes/no question.

Answers to this commands include a fake ID, so chatterbot can post the same answer multiple times consecutively. For example, when multiple coin tosses are requested in short order in a "best out of three" solution. Just ignore the ID.

    You can put the ID into HTML comments (<!-- SimID:abcdef -->) to hide it from the visible output.

      Whats wrong on this coding 
      #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;

# Define file paths
my $input_file = '1.xml';
my $output_file = '3.xml';

# Create a new XML::LibXML object
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new;

# Parse the input XML file
my $doc = $parser->parse_file($input_file);

# Example transformation: let's say we want to add an attribute to the
+ root element
my $root = $doc->documentElement();
$root->setAttribute('newAttribute', 'newValue');

# Example transformation: change the value of an element
foreach my $node ($doc->findnodes('//someElement')) {
    $node->removeChildNodes();
    $node->appendText('New Value');
}

# Save the transformed XML to the output file
$doc->toFile($output_file);

print "Transformation complete. Output saved to $output_file\n";

    Hello cavac and thanks!

    I officially and shamelessy suggest you to use my Games::Dice::Roller to allow even funnier dice expressions :)

    Nice :-)

    But how can I flip a coin more than once? The second time I try I get the following error-message: Whoa, Cowboy! You said that already. Don't 'reload'?

    have a great day, Rata

      Just tested: you can append a unique ID.

      [hippo]: !coin a
[hippo]: !coin b
[chatterbot]: Coin flip (SimID:3ZEfC) result: heads
[chatterbot]: Coin flip (SimID:SW3DD) result: tails

    Don't forget to add that table to the list of other commands at ChatterBox FAQ#chatterbot. And, if you don't want to duplicate that help information on chatterbot's user-page, could you at least include that link to the FAQ from the user-page?

    Since I was reminded of the private interface, I did verify that I can roll a die via /msg chatterbot d6 as well.

    And why not allow !d4 or !d8 or !d100 or even stranger dice... That is, do a pattern match for m/!d(\d+)/ and roll the appropriate $1-sided die. Not all conflicts can be resolved with 2, 6, or 20 choices. ;-) A !d1 would definitely require your <!-- id -->. And I'm curious what you'd choose to reply to a !d0
