{{Info|This bot is no longer active|Remember when I said it died? Well I managed to resurrect it but unlike [[User:Lost Labyrinth/Deus ex machina|Deus ex machina]], I'm unable to run this 24/7 due to script issues. So I've released it over at [https://github.com/lostlabyrinth/AnvilBot GitHub] for anybody who wants to use it.}}
'''AnvilBot''' is an IRC bot running [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] which resides in #wikia-sims. It was formerly an "abuse" bot but has been revamped as a trivia bot for leisure commands as well as a memo service as an alternative to MemoServ.
 
The bot is currently not on IRC at all times due as it has no bouncer and Georgie doesn't want to pay (another) large electricity bill.
 
The bot is tested in ##GeorgieGibbons and ##AnvilBot. If five questions go unanswered, the bot will stop the trivia session to prevent flooding.
 
==Commands==
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
*!record - shows the record times, streaks etc. of trivia players.
*!hof - shows the all-time player rankings starting from the highest to the lowest score.
 
===Leisure commands===
There are some leisure commands which trigger an automated response. These can be used for entertainment. Currently there are only a few of these but more will be incrementally added. The commands are:
*!beer <user>
*!pizza <user>
*!cake <user>
*!pie <user>
*!coke <user>
*!abuse <user>
*!drpepper <user>
*!cookie <user>
*!7up <user>
*!brownie <user>
*!coffee <user>
*!donut <user>
*!popcorn <user>
 
Some words (notably swag, yolo, Minecraft and ^ at this time) may trigger an automated response. Please note these are just for comical purposes and should not be taken seriously. After all, the bot is aimed at providing entertainment to IRC-ers. ;)
 
===Operator commands===
Line 28 ⟶ 47:
 
'''Please do not ban the bot or its IP'''. Operators can disable and enable public use of trivia if it is being abused. To do so, all a channel operator needs to do is type any of the following commands after going into +o:
*!disable - disables the bot
*!enable - enables the bot
 
'''Note:''' This does not affect the memo service.
 
===Memo service===
AnvilBot can be used to send memos to users who may be offline. Whilst similar to MemoServ, the benefit is that AnvilBot can be used by non-registered users. The bot will PM anyone who has unread memos. To send and read memos, type these commands into a channel or PM window with the bot:
*!send <user> <message>
*!read
This feature can be used by anyone either typing /join ##AnvilBot or via a PM. Messages sent through the bot are not logged though someone else may be logging the channel used to send a memo. '''Any abuse of this service by using it to spam, harass, troll, flame and whatnot will result in either a ban from using AnvilBot, a ban from ##AnvilBot or both.'''
 
===Conversation system===
==Ground rules==
AnvilBot now includes a system where one may have a conversation with the bot. The bot uses these commands for this:
#Cheating is forbidden. If it becomes suspicious that you are cheating either by continuously getting questions correct after a long period of time (unless you can prove that your connection is lagging) or using RuneScript to cheat, you will be placed on /ignore by the bot, either temporarily or permanently, and may potentially risk losing your recorded stats. '''You have been warned.'''
*AnvilBot - this shifts the bot's conversation to you. You don't need to say the name in every line of the conversation - it will function as you're actually talking to him. For example:
#Triggering the bot's !trivia command repeatedly for the sole purpose of flooding the channel is forbidden and you may be dealt with as if it was you who was actually flooding.
<pre>
<User A> AnvilBot
<AnvilBot> <whatever>
<User A> What's up?
<AnvilBot> <whatever>
</pre>
*shutup - self-explanatory, stops him from talking to you.
