Alright, lets get down some functionality that would be cool for a TB bot to have.

Talking with Tonakai, a cool feature would be to parse globals and mirror those into IRC, or something similar to alert a broader audience about tournies. (This would ideally be rolled into the global functionality, similar to how globals started as a 3rd party project.)

I guess that'd be pretty easy. It may be a good idea to get someone's permission to have the bot in one of the oft-empty official servers, so we aren't taking a server 24/7 and not wasting space in one of the busier ones, either.

It's progress. Still need to make it look decent, then add in some logic in case it dies to boot it again and I'll be done.

/me hooray

Now this is what I call a
EPIC ASS [donkey] MOTHER PHUCKING SMEXY IDEA!!!!
Now why didn't anyone think of this before...

what.

I think he says this is a good idea.

Good job btw.
See if you could make it say the broadcasters name so that people in irc would know who it is.
like EleelethBot.

Globals come through tb as 'SAY 0; [global] Text'. There's not a way that I can see to do that right now.

It's currently named GlobalBot, which I think is pretty descriptive.

There's my python announce bot.

Benefits:
* Doesn't count as a player in a server (still can't connect to full servers)
* Isn't made in ruby
* People in the room can use '!last' to see the last announcement recorded.

Downfalls:
* Doesn't use leel's server finding thingy so you have to manually configure it
* Also is my first time properly using Python so it's bound to be badly made!

Tee-hee.

third party isnt complete without language snipes
