View Full Version : The IrcAssistant...

Well, I've added a lot of cool new functions to the IrcAssistant, enough even to call it version 2.0. All the functions will be finished by next saturday.

...and with all these new (pie!) functions...
<IrcAssistant> Mmmmmmmmm... Pie...
...it really should have a cool 5mvishtic name.

So, naturally, I am accepting any and all (well, almost all) suggestions for a new 5mvishtic name for the IrcAssistant v2.0!

So, start suggesting!

Dunno, maybe something involving "Majel"? ;)

Whatever you decide on, it ought to at least vaguely imply a bot...

Majelbot?

Is there a way make the assistant say Mmmmmm.... pie anytime some types the word pie? 8-}

Have you posted any of the logs yet?

That's exactly what I did, come to the IRC, I'm testing it out right now!

Have you posted any of the logs yet?
See the Saturday IRC thread, and no. They'll be up soon.

There are so many choices... Colussus, Shirka, M5, MCP ( :D ), Multivac, Zen, Llandru, Mike, COS...

HAL, even. ( ;) )

How about Zuke? :twisted:

Now that would be a riot. Since we have already established the IRC Assistant is devilishly evil (it laughs at chatters randomly). And it has seized the Operator powers, foiling the Evil Dutch Woman to snatch them! :mrgreen:

She was asking me about the lionsanctuary server before. She's up to something, I'm telling you...

Heh. That's just because I forgot and I want to be able to get on IRC here, too. :roll:

If you ever want to know, just look at my signature!

But, we might be moving to another server, so don't get too set on lionsactuary.

Nic Corelli
09-09-2004, 02:20 AM
WHAT!? Another server? A FOURTH one? Why, dammit, why? I don`t see anything wrong with Lionsanctuary, really!

catalina_marina
09-09-2004, 02:41 PM
Geez. First, I know *where* it is. I just don't know how to easily get there. Second, WHAT?! Why are we moving this time? :shock: :?

Alexia
09-09-2004, 09:47 PM
Seriously? We gotta move again? But I forgot the 1st time...*grumbles* If cat hadn't thwapped me I would never have remembered.

We don't have a problem with them, they just have a problem with us. Specifically, they have a problem with the IrcAssistant, they won't allow it for some reason.

Also, keep your pants on, I said we might move, I'm not 100% percent sure whether we will or won't.

Xeroc
09-10-2004, 04:53 AM
I've talked with Zeke, and the saturday chat IS at irc.lionsanctuary.net.

So you CAN keep your pants on.

Unfortuantely, the IrcAssistant won't be there, but I still think I can log it.

Crap, there goes my whole bit...

How about a function where everytime the word "when" comes up, IRCAssisstant says "soon"?

Alexia
09-11-2004, 08:07 AM
:roll: Good idea :wink:

catalina_marina
09-11-2004, 11:22 AM
Heh.

But why won't they allow it? I mean, they allowed it before.. Right? :roll:

Nic Corelli
09-15-2004, 09:10 PM
So...

Are we finally going to give a name to IRC Assistant?

Hannibal? Emperor Palpatine? Zuke? :twisted:

NeoMatrix

Pieathon, like in Group Adaptive Story a very long time ago

NAHTMMM

The Pup? :twisted: ;)

Xeroc
09-16-2004, 04:00 AM
Okay, here's some of the names:

Majel
Multivac
Zen
Llandru
Mike
HAL
Q
Zuke
Pieathon
The Pup

I think we should have a poll, then I'll make the final decision.

Here's how you vote in this poll, after all, I wouldn't just have an ordinary poll...

Here's how you vote - you submit to me a rank of what names you like best, from the best to worst.

Any names you don't bother to list will be considered equally worse than the ones you do list.

For example:

Majel
Zuke
Q
HAL
Multivac

The votes are then tallied in pairwise matchups between the names.

In the example ballot, Majel would win against all. Zuke wins against all but Majel, etc. Each win is one vote for the winner in that matchup.

The one who wins the most matchups is the winner.

Understand?

If you don't, go here: Wikipedia: Condorcet Method Voting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method)

Still don't?

Well, you don't have to know exactly how it works to vote, just submit a list of your favorite to least favorite names, and feel free to omit some.

And, if you do understand, congratulations! Yay! :D


These votes can be sent to me by PM, email, IM, or saying it in the IRC works also.

Don't worry, no one will ever know who voted for what, it is a secret ballot.

how do i get to: Server: irc.xeroc.hopto.org Channel: #5mv ?

I can't find any of that stuff! Warning: I'm computer illiterate.

Yes, of course!

Have you installed any IRC programs? For example: mIRC, Trillian, etc.

If you haven't, to install mIRC, go here:

mIRC Downloads (http://www.mirc.com/)

Once you've downloaded and installed it, type this in the bottom text bar:

/server irc.xeroc.hopto.org

Then type:

/join #5mv

You should see a message saying "Welcome to Five-Minute Voyager Chat..."

If that doesn't work, post here, PM, or email me.

i would simply like to vote for: Q
It seems appropriate, I think. especially if it makes random comments appear.

also, I had mIRC, but i haven't tried your suggestion yet. will try when i get home.

AKAArzosah
09-17-2004, 10:10 AM

Majel
Llandru
Pieathon
Multivac
Zen

The Pup
{Q, HAL, Zuke}



I figure those last three ought to be left open for people to use as they like ;)

Noooooooooooooooo! If we are to name it anything we must name it TRON. BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!!


Nits, you left out "Hitler" in your list! How could you? The poor man would be so insulted.

I vote for Multivac! Whoo Isaac Asimov!

And for second-place, the M.C.P.

What does MCP stand for, anyway? :roll:

The MCP was a bit like Colossus, but unlike Colussus was foiled by those pesky humans. Oh well, you can't win 'em all....

You mean to say you've never seen Tron OR Colussus: The Forbin Project?

GASP!

Heh, I think i kind of like MCP

Xeroc
11-22-2004, 12:46 AM
And now... one month later....

(Yes, it really is, look at the dates!)


The personalities are here!

You can find out all about the IrcAssistant at the new IrcAssistant v3.3 About Information / Help (http://xeroc.zapto.org/ircabout.htm), but this is a detail on the personalities.

You change them with the !per [nick/number] function.

There currently are 3 personalities:

0 : IrcAssistant [default]
1 : Majel
2 : Zuke

There are also custom responses for each personality!

Have fun! :D

What about HAL? So many good responses there.

"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do..."

"I'm sorry, <name>, I can't do that..."

etc

Nan
11-22-2004, 08:33 PM
Gah. Double post.

MaverickZer0

I also vote for HAL. Or is it too late?

Q is good, but how about...

*ducks tomatoes pre-emptively in case of flying objects* And no it's not a Mega Man reference...

Servbot!

(Okay...so it is...but it's a really, really obscure one...)

Would this be "soon" as in Zeke "soon", or "soon" as in "vaguely within the near future :P :mrgreen: :D :) :lol:

Would this be "soon" as in Zeke "soon", or "soon" as in "vaguely within the near future :P :mrgreen: :D :) :lol:
If you read the page, you'd notice there is both an explanation and an estimated progress / completion date on each item!


And the soon part is a joke!

Chancellor Valium
01-23-2005, 08:38 PM
^ I know, so was my post. How about Satan's Robot as a persona for the assistant? Or the Master?
example
Master: Ha-ha-ha! How little you change, my dear <insert name here>
Master: I think it's time I cut you down to size!
etc etc.

MaverickZer0
01-23-2005, 11:50 PM
Satan's Robot! It could annoyingly repeat some stuff...
Or how about Robby the Robot?
"Danger, <name>! Danger!"

Chancellor Valium
01-24-2005, 07:39 PM
Or "Danger, Swiss Family Robinson, Danger", "Danger Robinson Crusoe, Danger", "Dame Robertson's Cruise-clothes, Danger" etc, getting more and more worked up? Like the heffalump scenes with piglet running to find christopher robin :mrgreen:
