yeah full search page is pretty great actually, it would just be nice if you could see bolded words from the light search in the top
That’s a good pint I wonder how the XPath for the search work. If I’m sober enough I will ha be a glance but I’ll prob be swallowing a gun barrel this weekend
- dont kil yourself
- we can generate a user api key for the bot and then you can use discourse's really decent api https://docs.discourse.org/ to make a better functioning bot. im sure half the reason it couldnt run forever had to do with how you were reverse engineering the posting aspect. Just filter exclusively to handle and make posts in the game zone through the api and it should run forever.

Just set it all up in dev and then it should be easy to adapt it to the api here, the bot still runs on your end tho which isnt that good. the hubot discourse adapter thing would be better because the end result would be running on the box and could be more reliable then
An issue I can see is our use of nicknames causing problems when counting lynch votes (lynch nma, lynch nmagane)
I have an idea
What is it?
for the time being i suggest using some unique way to type official lynchvotes so its easier to aggregate them all in a search without false positives
like ##lynch iaafr
nope this doesnt work ##lynch doesnt get searched properly
maybe use a different phrase that we dont tend to use in discussion
like lynchvote iaafr
then hosts can just search for the term lynchvote
we can agree not to use that word outside of actual votes
just @lynch
this is probably what we'll do for bot purposes
but i'm talking about what we do before we implement a bot to make it easier to aggregate votes manually as a host
@lynch doesnt work for that purpose
oh nice ok then that works
it doesnt matter lol
Do whatever - I might have an issue breaking the habit of writing [b][/b] for lynches but whatever.
Same
its fine to keep bolding lynches as long as you remember to add whatever ends up being agreed upon
Typing is bad ux
Playing mafia on this site is bad UX
