Title: A bot named Recon
Post by: Kyūbi on September 17, 2016, 10:35:38 PM
Now apparently I've been in servers where there was a bot that you can ask questions. The bot's name is Recon.

Example:

Kyuubi: Hey Recon
Recon: Yes?
Kyuubi: Who's my senpai?
Recon: Definetly [username]

You ask it a question involving who, and it chooses a random player on the server to fill the blank like

Recon: Definetly Yee B Games (Sorry Yee for using you as an example)

It also answers any dumb question with a dumb answer.

I've also heard there was a bot that actually appears as a mecha merc and strolls around the map. When it's near a player it'd say for example when it's near me:

Bot: Hello Kyuubi!

When you shoot and kill the bot, it'd say:

Bot: You're gonna regret that!

I don't know if it's possible that SwapShop can add something like that, but it would be awesome. Comment what you think! ;)

I love the idea. We could probably make some cooler and more original responses instead of essentially copying off of 99% of the responses I've been seeing on Discord bots. For example, the "Senpai" commands and responses.  I'm sure we've got in-jokes on the servers. Why wouldn't we mix some of the general jokes and some of the in-jokes? 8)

What a great idea, hopefully this is possible to implement into the servers.

I'd like to see this is servers. It would give friendly people something to do other than complain that they're getting killed all the time.

It would cost money. A lot of money.

Death is already working on getting a prize bot working for swapshop and hiring a programmer to make something like that was waaay more $$ than you think. Also, I've never seen this kind of "chat bot" in any other servers before so it might be a while before it's created.

It sounds like a neat idea. I think this should come way later down the line. The more people we have, the more get to experience it I guess. See, biggest issue is-

This bot won't bring new players

It's a very cool feature, and I personally wouldn't mind seeing it on the servers, but if Death was to put his money to this, would it be worth it?

Maybe if this was a VIP only sort of thing? Then would it be worth it? It would bring in some sort of money, in the form of TF2 items.
