VoteBot 9000 Commands and Usage

Only mafia would crack their knuckles like that.

[vote Scept]

let's test this out. [vote DA] I'M JUST SEEING IF IT WORKS

Lets see what happens [vote Gam] .

Nale, you're not in the game according to it, so it might be a better idea to test that it properly ignores us first before trying size codes. As such,
[vote DA]
I know this next one will fail but I should try it anyway.
[in]
[vote Stalin]

Gonna test the real from the fake.

[vote scept]

[vote amy]

Yoshi. Pls.

Just for kicks, I'm gonna have the bot parse this thread one more time and see what the vote tally is. =P

Lynch Tally
Scept - 2 - Yoshi, Zyquux
French Connections - 1 - Scept
No Vote - 4 - DA, StalinCommander, French Connections, Shadi

Total: 7 living players.


Reverse Tally:
Yoshi: Scept
Zyquux: Scept
Scept: French Connections

Players:

Phase: R1 Day

Here's the list of stuff the bot found to be invalid:

Invalid command: vote, posted at https://halolzmafia.iftopic.com/t110p30-votebot-9000-commands-and-usage#11487, Reason: unknown player - voter

Invalid command: in, posted at https://halolzmafia.iftopic.com/t110p30-votebot-9000-commands-and-usage#11487, Reason: signups closed

Invalid command: vote, posted at https://halolzmafia.iftopic.com/t110p30-votebot-9000-commands-and-usage#11487, Reason: unknown player - voter

Invalid command: vote, posted at https://halolzmafia.iftopic.com/t110p30-votebot-9000-commands-and-usage#11488, Reason: unknown player - target


In threads where he has editing powers, such as the mafia board, he'll edit posts with invalid commands with the reason they are invalid. For example:

[vote DA] (unknown player - voter)
I know this next one will fail but I should try it anyway.
[in] (signups closed)
[vote Stalin] (unknown player - target)

So you'd have to say
[vote Stalincommander]

right?

[Unvote]

Is no lynch an option by default?

Actually, it flagged both of my vote commands because I'm an invalid voter. The invalid target flag was in the next post when Yoshi voted for Amy.

So how did I get removed from the list of players?

Your in command was in italics.

Is no lynch an option by default?

Yeah, the bot will track it. That means there's a difference between [abstain] and [vote no lynch]. It's, of course, up to the host to count the no lynch tally or ignore it for their game.

[vote scept] because the bot was able to tell the real mafia from the fake in Yoshi's post.

So that's what happened to me too? That's too bad that I can't make the bot-recognized votes be almost unnoticeable. Well that sucks.

Actually, if you're referring to when you put a size tag in the bold tag, you put [hi] instead of [in].

Testing testing how to [unvote]

Oh one thing that I thought of today. Maybe make a command for the bot to post when the day ends. Preferably shown in the users local time or just as a text set by the host.

Example:
[dayend October 20 7:00 PM PDT]
would show in the bot post as:
Day End: October 20 7:00 PM PDT


Or something. I don't know coding so I don't know how feasible that is.

Two words
Time zones.

Easy solution, you all just need to get on glorious Eastern time.

that's what PDT is

Or the forums can just switch to Gamage time. It is scientifically proven to be the best time zone ever.

This is actually my biggest feature priority atm. I have the groundwork for something, but it's not finished and I was interrupted by porting him here. It's very feasible, and my plans actually include having him post a link to a countdown timer.

It sounds like a nice little feature, both the countdown and the round end time

As he said [Roundend, specficidateformathere]

VB reads last post and if it has a dayend it grabs that.

Kinda think it'd help if more peeps used this little gem to get around the time zone issue.
