Updated the bot with announcements. It can either send announcements regularly or once at a given time and they will get posted in the rules_and_info channel so you might want to enable notifications for that channel.
Updated the documentation in the first post (which now also builds itself so less work for me yay)

Any more feature requests?
I could work on a simple voting system like strawpoll next

Changed a lot under the hood so it is ready for multiple servers (not that we need it but for shits and giggles)

Added xkcd command

Updated first post accordingly

Updated the bot to prevent multiple votes of the same person on a poll… yes I am looking at you cheaters 😀

As per popular request by a single person I added the famous Benzen trivia but without it being a trivia. Instead it just posts a random fact about Benzen when you type !Benzen
You can now also add new facts with !AddBenzenFact fact … The fact must include Benzen

Enjoy 😀

Added the ability to listen to RSS feeds. When enabled it gets the updates from all added rss feeds every 30 mins.
The goal was to get updates from our Forum/website posted on Discord

After some time of no work on the Bot I implemented some new functionality.

As you might have seen the Bot currently posts the status of our Squad server (Connected players, map, etc.). It should work for any game that implements the steam server query protocol though.

Another one is the new !subscribe game command. E.g. you can type “!subscribe squad” and then you will get a private message everytime someone launches it (if they haven’t disabled it in their Discord Client). The gamename parameter doesn’t have to be the exact name of the game. If you subscribe to Battlefield you will get notifications for BF1 and BF4 for example. So go ahead and spy on your friends 😉 !Unsubscribe gamename will disable it for you again.

As always if you have any suggestions don’t hesitate to tell me. And try not to break too much… 😛

Hey people in the deserted forums land

I felt like teaching MonkeyBot a few new tricks and also do some maintenance.
trivia works much nicer now with sort of a button answer system. You have 30 seconds for each question and your first answer will count. Everyone who got the right answer will get 1-3 points depending on question difficulty or lose 1 point for a wrong one. You can start a trivia with 10 questions by using !trivia start 10
I’ve also touched the poll command. A poll now runs for 1 hour and only at the end you will see all results for the sake of mystery.
Last but not least I have added a small Minecraft server info. It shows the amount of players currently connected and the motd. Unfortunately that’s all you can get without actually having an account and connecting to the server.
That is all for now – see you in Discord
