Accalia Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 So umm.... hi y'all, a strange vixen appears! (no pokeballs please.) I'm a developer of weird and wonderous things, one of which is a Mafia helper bot..... i also do play by post RP but that's more a sideline to the programming these days. so, hello! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you stalking me no, but you said you found a place to play Mafia, and we *do* need to play test the latest release of the mafia plugin.... I figured the fine folks here might want to help once we get the release ready for user acceptance testing..... that and the community sounded interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droughtbringer Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Mafia bot? Go check out Sanderson Elimination under role play.. Also what Sanderson have you read? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. though it doesn't support all the roles i've seen played here, in fact the only role it is capable of automatically handling other than the standard "one person one vote" type roles is the "doublevoter" type role. Also i need to write a new adaptor layer to interface the framework with this forum as it does not currently support IPS. Wheeeeeeeeee! a new problem that can be solved by throwing code at it! :-D 1 minute ago, DroughtBringer said: Also what Sanderson have you read? uhh........ i'm working my way through mistborn..... slowly. i have a *REALLY* long list of books to read next and sanderson comprises about..... half that stack of books? if that stack gets much bigger i can start using it as a second desk..... >_> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would like to join us down in Sanderson Elimination we would love to have you, a really cool game is starting soon (LG33) that will be a blast to play...but a bot for that would be kinda hard to make methinks... Also, welcome to the community! Tis a pleasure to have you here! (Can't believe I forgot to do that in my first post) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accalia Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 2 minutes ago, DroughtBringer said: What all do your bots do? Well.... whatever i want them to really.... I have one that i call "@zoidberg" that replies to people who mention him with random zoidberg quotes. I can also set up one that does randomizations, stuff like "pick a number from x to y" or "from this list of things pick 5 of them randomly" or "shuffle this list of things" which is useful for randomly assigning players to roles when one has a spectator gallery and wishes to avoid accusations of "stacking the deck" (which is likely not an issue here, but it's still fun and convenient) then there's the plugin that handles mafia, it tracks votes! so a player could say `@vote for @FredTheGodfather` and the bot would track that vote so that anyone can see who voted for whom when. it also handles auto lynching someone once quorum is achieved (# live players + 1)/ 2 voting for a single person and some other things. as for other things that could be wanted..... well what do you want them to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh...our games have a lot of different roles. If you had joined earlier I would try recruiting you to help with LG33...it's gonna be intense... Hmm...so we currently use a RNG to determine roles, but if the voting bot worked things would be really cool, and would make things easier for players and GMs alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make a note of that and up the priority of getting the next release ready so we can have some fun breaking it (then i can fix it, then we repeat the process)! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an SE discord set up where you can talk with some of the players, or you can go say something in the thread....probably the art of game creation? Maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennix Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Welcome to the Shard! Have a cookie and an upvote! All this talk about RPs and SE makes me want to try it out even though I have no idea what what goes on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely look into using that resource when i get closer to being ready for a trial run. I have a lot of work ahead of me to get things ready though (including engineering an entire compatibility layer for IPS forums (the software y'all run on), which will be FUN!

kenod Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Welcome, out of interest, which programming language do you prefer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello! It'll be great to have a SE bot up and running, and the project sounds really cool. I'm a novice coder myself, and if there's some way I could help I'd be willing to at any point after May 5th (My schedule is booked until then). What language is the bot in? I likely wouldn't know it (I know Python, C++, Git, and web design languages), but I can try to learn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'mma C# developer for fun? mostly nodejs these days. that's what the bot is written in. though i also play with Python, Bash, Powershell, occasionally C if i want to shoot my own paws off, but mostly these days it's Nodejs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
