Not yet complete. And in fact incredibly out of date now.

Note that sometimes there are other ways to phrase things which will also trigger these; I'm not listing every possible combination.

replicate

Synopsis: Makes the bot replicate something

Syntax: <botname> [please] replicate <who> <what>

  • who - single-word description of who should be given the what ('me' and 'yourself' work)
  • what - what should be replicated and handed over

Variations: make, create, and send are synonyms for replicate. Use 'make into' for alternate behaviour.

light

Synopsis: You can set fire to the bot

Syntax: /me sets fire to <botname>

Take out your anger by combusting the bot

Variations: Try igniting the bot too. You can also set them on fire instead of setting fire to them.

Syntax: moo

Moo at the bot. It'll moo back

cloak

Synopsis: The bot will 'cloak'

fire

Synopsis: The bot will fire on something/one, with a random chance of failure

courtmartial

Synopsis: Courtmartial someone with a random charge

Syntax: <botname> courtmartial <who> [with banzai]

  • who - who should be courtmartialed
  • [with banzai] - add this to enable banzai mode

The user will be placed in the brig. After a set amount of time (30s or so), they will be charged with two random offences, and then found guilty or innocent.

If they are found guilty, a random penalty is given.

Banzai mode will only make sense to you if you've seen the Channel 4 show 'Banzai' in the UK.

Syntax: <botname> [please] eat <object> [out]

  • object - What to eat
  • [out] - Work it out yourself :P

thank you

Synopsis: Thank the bot

Syntax: thanks <botname>

Be polite, and thank the bot if it does something for you. Thanking it when it hasn't done anything for you is pointless and you'll get ignored.

what

Synopsis: The bot will pick up on questions and try to help to answer them
