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. |
