User:Misza13/Bob the Barman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bob_the_Barman is my IRC bot that you can meet in the some channels on freenode.


Operation Instructions

[edit]

Social commands

[edit]

Bob is a social bot and his primary purpose is to provide entertainment for the channel dwellers.

Public commands

[edit]

These are issued by saying then publically in the channel.

Command... ...makes Bob...
!drink <nick> ...give a random drink to a specified person (or to you if no nick is specified).
!beverage <nick> same as above (equivatent to !drink)
!cookie <nick> ...give a random cookie to a specified person (or to you if no nick is specified).
!candy <nick> ...give a random candy to a specified person (or to you if no nick is specified).
!plankton <nick> ...toss some plankton to a specified person (or to you if no nick is specified).

Private commands

[edit]

The commands are not given through the channel, but rather privately messaged to him:

/msg Bob_the_Barman <command> <parameters>

Or you can open a private chat with him and type the messages directly to that window.

Command... ...makes Bob...
/msg Bob_the_Barman serve <target> <drink> ...serve the specified drink (up to your imagination!) to a particular person.
/msg Bob_the_Barman say <what-to-say> ...utter whatever words you choose.
/msg Bob_the_Barman act <action> ...issue the /me command.
/msg Bob_the_Barman dummy ..."perform a dummy action" which is of no use except testing the bot's responsivity and making a laugh at him.

As you see, Bob is a very submissive puppet and can be easily abused. I hope however that no incidents will occur (if you make an operator angry and get Bob kicked then we'll all miss the fun). Note: all commands given to the bot are logged.

Administrative commands

[edit]

Some other commands of interest to the users.

/msg Bob_the_Barman quit <optional-reason> Makes Bob leave the channel and shut down.
