I need something to do so I'm going to make a bot named Jinkies and post about it here.

Features

Shekels: Curry favor with shekels awarded for various things like trivia or winning minigames. Saved across games.
Items: Buy items with various little perks.

Actions

Jinkies basically copies the emjack bot code so the format is @Jink do something. You can whisper them too.

say ... | make the bot talk (2S)
vote [name] | make the bot vote (4S)
kill [name] | make the bot knife or shoot someone (8S, misses rarely)
claim | make the bot whisper its role for (16S, lies rarely)
who ... | says a random player name
shekels | count your shekels (randomly displays top 3)
trivia | play trivia for shekels
lottery NOT IMPLEMENTED | draw a ticket (2S), winner selected the next day
cards NOT IMPLEMENTED | join a card game with someone
shop | displays the item shop (randomly displays top 3)
buy [item] | buy something from the item shop
gift [item] to [name] NOT IMPLEMENTED | gift an item to someone and sends them a cute pm card
bug [text] | report a bug to me
suggest [text] | send a suggestion to me

Shop

You can get items from the item shop that have little value but cost shekels anyway.

Bread (8S): You won't starve.
Rope (16S): Jinkies will lynch you for free.
Collar (32S): Cute flavor text when Jinkies mentions you.
Crystal (128S): Jinkies will claim for half the cost.
Magnet (64S): Jinkies is likely to give you items.
Knife (48S): Jinkies will knife people for free.
Vest (48S): Jinkies will avoid harming you.
Gun (64S): Jinkies will do harm to people for half as much.
Key (128S): You can vote twice in the lottery.
Lovenote (256S): Jinkies will love you forever and send you a friend request.

I love Jinkies

Scooby Doo was a really cool show. Velma was my favorite character, I loved when she said "Jinkies!" She's such a cutie.

I do not appreciate you multi-accounting with your sad bot.

thanks cubbo

every question is non-multiple choice

the incorrect answers are for hints

what about non-multiple choice questions

almost 8 years

im going to host the mafia trivia on pastebin and if you can come up with at least 200 questions ill use a pastebin of the other trivia questions as a source also

heres the format https://pastebin.com/raw/ffiyKFQJ

also, imo the type game should be modified too bc it's too copypaste-friendly rn (even something like "type it without the caps" would work)

this is something i definitely dont want to do because it's frustrating when you get the answer right and didn't type it perfectly right

also that only applies to multiple choice which only really exist out of necessity with the current api

if you could actually give me over 1,000 questions to make a custom trivia database that wouldnt be an issue although that would be pretty space consuming

the current trivia kinda api sucks because:

* open-ended questions / questions that accept answers in weird format (i.e. "what was the punishment of sisyphus" - you can phrase the answer in like a million ways)

* questions which no one will ever get without googling ("which biological family do aardwolves belong to")

* questions with outright wrong answers ("what's the smallest mersenne prime over 1000" is somehow 1279 which is, well, not even a mersenne prime)

out of opentdb's 2k questions, at least half of them are flat-out bad and i'd rather have 500 decent questions (doable w/ just a handful of people) than 2k bad ones

and i can also contribute w/ questions (esp. geography which is already underrepresented)

also, imo the type game should be modified too bc it's too copypaste-friendly rn (even something like "type it without the caps" would work)

i just won a trivia question without typing anything

link to game

if you dont know why something happens i probably dont either, i need to review the game to see what led up to it

https://epicmafia.com/game/5921963

bonus bug: 4-choice question w/ none of the options accepted: https://epicmafia.com/game/5921840

i don't think i can fix that without undoing the "multiple answers" restriction

jink's trivia answers are alphanumerical only, meaning "c" is an answer not "c#" and "javasCript" contains the other answer

i think the trivia should be easier to answer questions without being multiple choice, i'd be happy to help you compile questions if you choose to switch to this method

unless you can compete with opentdb's variety it would become too predictable

almost 8 years

i agree

90% of the questions no one knows the answer to so its either google it or spam the choices

i can help contribute questions too

Lum says

slot machine to gamble away my hard earned shekels

cub says

lottery

AugVarRop says

Add hangman

Add scooby doo text adventure

Add epicmafia related trivia

comment list

AugVarRop says

Add blackjack

Add poker

Let the bot listen and slowly say things people say

Bot can lose its voice and start whispering people

- ive never played blackjack or poker so idk how easy those would be to implement

- the bot already replies every now and then to chat, but I could maybe make it "learn" some new lingo although im not sure that would turn out well

- reminds me i need to make bot whisper during library days

almost 8 years

also im taking a break right now i wrote 2000 lines of code in 4 days for free i think i need one

still fixing bugs when they appear though

Another thing, when pinging her teammates as mafia, sometimes that ping will appear during the day, "outing" that person and Jink as maf.
