shouldnt the variable already be set in the snippet itself. and why do WE have to set it, when the writer of the snippet should of done it him/her self, and i also got the same messege as well

I changed it so that you don't have to do a single thing but just do:

/smacie <person>

.
I just realized /quote is a separate command.

As for the > i also got the same messege as well, you have to choose one person from the four possible people:

/smacie homer

/smacie bart

/smacie borat

/smacie cartman

I don't see how you get "error" messages.
