User:Lost Labyrinth/Deus ex machina

Deus ex machina is an IRC bot running Python which resides in #wikia-sims. It is the spiritual successor to AnvilBot. The bot is primarily used for leisure commands with a few other useful commands to use. The bot does aim to reside in the channel 24/7 pending on server uptime.

Tasks
The bot currently undertakes the following tasks:
 * Allows a game of trivia to be played.
 * Can shorten URLs via goo.gl and tinyurl.
 * Can host a game of Uno.
 * Has various other leisure commands such as 8ball.
 * Logs the channel in order for the bot's server to generate the stats page.

These are commands used by the bot. These commands will work via a private message but it's pointless to use them this way.

FAQs

 * Why is the bot lagging?
 * I don't know the exact cause but if an abundance of comamnds get sent to the bot at once, it will slow things down. If you notice it slowing down, don't flood it any further.
 * Why are some commands slower to respond than others?
 * Commands like Trivia and stats page listings are handled locally and don't require data to be pulled from other sites, and therefore are bound to be faster.
