@discobot likes me more than they like you. So suck it up, loser.

Gee, @discobot, I think I’ll go for a walk outside. Maybe I’ll walk to the coffee shop and get a cup of coffee. Maybe I’ll bring one back for my SIGO. Can you do that, @discobot? No. No you can’t. You live a lonely, cold, existence of hate. “Shiny metal ass?” I doubt it, rustbucket.

On the level, I am genuinely curious why “discobot” isn’t responding to me/some of us. Does it have an ignore list too?

Tripler  
T’was a good try. Discobot fail.

I like @discobot and it must be mutual because I now have TWO ❤ s on my account. I find @discobot friendly, welcoming and informative.

That’s just a “Mercy ❤” because @discobot feels sorry for you. @discobot likes me twice as much as you.

Come on @discobot show your love for me:

I saw that! So, they turned on “likes,” huh? But they can’t get @discobot to work right?

Tripler  
Hey @discobot, want a cup of coffee? Too bad. . . sad face for you.

Only discobot has the power to like. He’s had it since the beginning. You’re missing out.

That only means the knife will plunge twice as deep when he drives it into your heart.

I’m being serious here.

Am I the only one who gets “TRIPLER CAN KISS MY SHINY METAL ASS” displayed after @discobot name? Where I have “guest” and Tripler has “Charter Member”.

Yes, you’re the only one who sees it. Right, discobot?

I see the same Tripler statement that you do after DISCOBOT’s heading

Am I being wooshed here? So @Tripler is genuinely “complaining” that @discobot won’t react to them while @discobot is openly insulting @Tripler?

I, at first, thought I was being whooshed. I am genuinely annoyed that the roll function isn’t working–seemingly for only _me_–due to a thread idea I had. But then whoever is working @discobot started yanking my chain, so I yanked back.

Tripler  
“Annoyed” as in, “Whatever, I have better things to do. . .”

Yes, I see it too.

It changed from an earlier, “I’M AFRAID I CAN’T DO THAT, TRIPLER.”

@discobot can be incredibly ruthless.

Ah! So there is, somewhere, a personal element at work here. I hope you share a similar sense of humour with whoever is controlling @discobot

I was going to flex my muscles a bit by demanding a few more dice rolls and fortunes and such from @discobot but I think it’s better I don’t push my luck.

I think there is. An automated chat-bot wouldn’t normally, or as quickly or selectively, change its user title.

Tripler  
I have a sense of humor, just not as deep for some “upgrades.”
