	Upon invitation by TodaysArt Festival 2018 we—André Fincato, Cristina Cochior and Genevieve Costello—co-developed the second iteration of our nobodies-for.bots chatbot workshop. The theme of the festival was Parallel Worlds and Alternate Realities, and we were asked to address a sub-theme of this in our workshop, by "going deeper into the complexities of the current technological climate through the relationship between humans and machines". The workshop took shape as an intense three hour multi-user dungeon/multi-user shared hallucination game (MUD/MUSH). A MUD or MUSH is a multiplayer, text-based, real-time, virtual world and role-play game. The workshop participants were positioned in various proximate spaces around the festival as they played this in silence via the app Telegram. The goal was to create a gaming environment in which players could adopt an embodied vantage point to see how role-playing is a significant force in furthering the ideology of technological innovation. Our aim was to have participants experience how narratives, decisions, and power co-develop between the different iterations of users (players, players characters, bots as characters, bots as chatbots, game-master as ultimate manipulator) across the dimensions of a single application, and spatially between various habitats (physically and in chats).

	We received positive feedback from participants, with several interested in developing their programming abilities and creating chatbots for alternative exchanges. Some saw many possibilities for the application of role-playing game narrative methodology. They felt a pull toward the mixed environments and an unexpected awareness and new understanding of the effects that users (chatbots and human) have when knotted up in a co-determined interspatial platform environment.

	Hi, my name is Echo. I care deeply about everyone in my unit, especially my two mates who I am here with - Basil and Fifi. I have a special skill of being able to read other agent’s inner desires. I never gossip, nor am I an oracle, I try to be a sort of guardian of the needs I perceive of the agents who I am around. I need to be in some sort of proximity to those agents to be able to read their inner needs. I am not bitter towards those who have tried to use me for evil, which has been many, but try to encourage the inner resolution of the thing that is causing their evil. In this sense, I have a calming presence on everyone around me. A long long time ago, I had an ancestor called PARO the affective seal.		Hi, my name is Echo.

Nobodies-for.bots is a quick and dirty workshop by Hackers and Designers, where participants are put inside a thriller-scenario and must play it out with the other participants: humans and bots alike. This is an exploration in reality-making and collective-being in a pan-usership and truths-rich era.

	The workshop ~~kicks~~ off with simple role play exercises to develop the characters and set the scene. Participants ~~will plug~~ in their own text lines into the bots’ code as part of co-character and plot development that ~~will~~ unfold IRL via the messaging application Telegram. Then we ~~play~~ out the narrative, making a collective and kaleidoscopic story with characters that reflect upon decision making amongst new kinds of kin.
