Summary	0002517: Adding Question component to AI Greetings
Description	I had an idea for improving greeting behaviour a bit, hopefully for little cost. Right now, AI 0000001 plays a greeting bark, and AI 0000002 plays a response. Greetings can be either generic "Hellos" or generic questions "Nice night isn't it?" Responses are generic "Yeps" and "Uh huhs". Currently, this works fairly well, except that AI never respond to greetings with another greeting. You often hear things like: "Hello There." "Yep." "Greetings." "If you say so." Etc. A bit awkward. What would sound more natural, and allow for added variety, would be the following: AI 0000001 makes a greeting. It selects randomly* from "greeting" or "question". AI 0000002 response with "greeting" if it got a greeting, and with "response" if it got a question. Then you'd have AI greet each other properly. "Hello." "Greetings." And I could make less generic questions and responses because I know they'll always match up. * Maybe not purely random...AI probably should probably only greet each other once, and questions after that. * Maybe limit questions to happening between AI of similar rank?
