I’m just a few days away from finishing my ‘break’ from creating chatbots, and I think I definitely know how I’ll get back into it. I’ve also been creating some private bots that are original characters (OCs), purely for practice and completely private. Obviously, I won’t be releasing them because I reckon it would be politically problematic – in the sense that it would easily spark political row – and I’m not keen on having to deal with every comment in my bots being from communists, socialists, conservatives, nationalists and so on and so forth. Anyway, basically they’re mostly practice bots that’ll end up being deleted.

Apart from that, I’ve been having a good time; my exam week is over, and my birthday is coming up on 1 October. The lads and I have set up a football clan/club on Illegal Soccer in Roblox. And generally speaking, I’ve gone back to military roleplay on Roblox; I’ve also been doing other things in my private life that have been productive, and to be honest, I’m feeling pretty relaxed. I’m also excited to start developing the Minecraft server; I want to play with all my friends, and if any followers join in, even better. The question is whether the host will crash or not.

Anyway, I’m about to come back and carry on with the bots – I’m not retiring just yet, although I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the time may come when I feel it’s time to wrap up the project. And who knows, maybe my account will be deleted, or maybe it’ll stay up, be discovered, and gain loads of followers whilst I’m no longer part of this community.
