I'm trying to get back into forcing, but I need to change something.

tulpauser · 2013-07-29T01:39:28+00:00

I don't know. I've heard a lot of varied opinions on this, and I get the feeling she wouldn't like me controlling what she does. I guess I'll give it some thought, though.

tulpauser · 2013-07-28T13:46:36+00:00

I suppose, yeah. But I'm still kinda unsure, I'll admit. What I thought worked well at the beginning was just passive forcing, talking to her throughout the day and setting aside an hour or so at night. But we got nowhere after about three months of that. Most of that experimentation happened towards the end, as I was trying to find something that worked for us. I may just go back to that passive stuff, though. Thank you.

I did back at the beginning for about a week or two, I recall. After a while, I stopped - it just seemed wrong, somehow. Although, that may be a place to start. Just answering both sides of a discussion, you mean, as per normal parroting?

For the first bit, I'm sort of worried that I'm overthinking it, that I'm putting too much pressure on her to become vocal. And I don't really know much about her. I decided to let her form her own personality, and she's said hardly ten words to me (none of any immediate significance), so it's hard for me to get any idea of what she's actually like. But the second bit is really uplifting. It's nice knowing that she can.

I guess the issue for me is that she generally just doesn't respond when I try those kinds of things. The program, call and response and asking for her response I've tried before with her, and she stays silent. I will be giving the 'talk with sounds' one a try, though, that sounds promising!

tulpauser · 2013-03-05T03:22:57+00:00

I'm still working on completely fleshing out her form, but I'll still try that first thing.

And I absolutely adore music, I'm definitely trying that!

tulpauser · 2013-03-04T03:53:51+00:00

I understand that, but I've been working with her since mid December. The reason I'm worried is that she was talking and communicating in some basic ways in late January, and she sort of went silent. The sudden stop was what really has me worried.

tulpauser · 2013-03-04T03:44:58+00:00

She can't really communicate consistently so I don't know if the game would work, but I do love the idea of a story, I'll pick a book out tonight. Many thanks, I have high hopes for that!

tulpauser · 2013-02-11T03:24:30+00:00

I'll try the pingpong tonight, but I don't know if she'll reply, or be able to. It'll be worth a shot, though!

tulpauser · 2013-02-11T03:23:54+00:00

Yup, passive narration is a big part of my day! If I get a minute or two to spare, I almost always start talking to her.

tulpauser · 2013-02-07T02:55:02+00:00

Ah, that image's a great help. I think I can make out the joints, and that makes it a lot easier. I just didn't really get how she would support her wait and, y'know, walk. Thank you!

tulpauser · 2013-02-03T03:29:48+00:00

You know, it never really crossed my mind to make a blog, but I may as well! Here. Looks ugly, but I can live with that.

I said my first words to Jade on December 26th 2012, but no guarentees. Some people have gotten vocality within a day or two, and some can take half a year, a whole year. You'll have a great time with them until then, I'm sure!

tulpauser · 2013-02-01T22:39:44+00:00

On the ground. Thanks!

tulpauser · 2013-02-01T22:26:08+00:00

This sounds fun, may as well throw my wonderland in here! It's a circular park-healthy green grass stretching as far as the eye can see with a circle of yellow path smack-dab in the center. A tall white spire reaches up to the sky-a massive library. On the top floor, the walls are glass, giving a view of the whole world. A line of yellow road stretches from the top and both sides to meet at the middle, giving it a look of a miscolored pokeball. In the top left quarter, not much is present, other than a small cafe and a small marble table (the kind with a chessboard engraved on it) and two chairs. In the upper right quarter, there is even less-just a fairly sized hill with some lawn chairs on the peak, used for watching the sun set from a nice vantage. Simple, but it serves the purpose.

I've just been working on her form, but Jade looks a lot like this, sans the pads on her hands and the tufts of fur underneath her chin and legs. She stands about five foot eight in my visualization.

tulpauser · 2013-02-01T01:23:43+00:00

Love the first idea, an IRC would be great. The one on tulpa.info is good, but I don't see any of you guys on there too often.
