Allows bot to assign/unassign roles for users on server. Something along the lines of

.addrole bot-dev
.delrole bot-dev

Ideally we would want to use Google's search engine to drive our searches, but that may not be entirely possible without forking over some hard cash. I think this is the issue Dyno eventually ran into, which caused ?g outages and the feature eventually being completely removed.

For this, we'll need to look into other search engine possibilities and determine how feasible this can be. We might also be able to use a web scraper to accomplish this for us anyways, but I don't know what legal issues we could possibly run into, so another method is preferred.

Similar to Dyno's ?g command, but probably using something like DuckDuckGo so we don't get yelled at for trying to circumvent Google ads.

Usage:

.s nice meme

In anticipation of other bot features we might want to add in the future, we should decide on a bot currency. This could be anything, from something reasonable like Rupies to something far worse, like a meme.

Once this has been decided on, I highly recommend an implementation of a daily login reward and something like my MugiBot's ?bank command under this issue.

Pull from r/rurisquad (if it's still active) and post the Daily Ruri. Alternatively, access a file system of pre-collected Ruris that we randomly query each day (or sort for order of daily ruri-ness or something).

Honestly, the implementation details are up in the air, what we (Reno) really wants is just a daily Ruri.

I prototyped this with a daily Mugi on my test server using a timer. Not exactly ideal, but it will get the ball rolling.

?thanks

output: [something nice]

Just so we can thank our bot every once in a while if it does a good job. Could make this a hard-coded single response or load up responses from a data file somewhere and just pick one. Or something else. Doesn't need to be too fancy.

Grabs a random image on a selected search's term.

Usage:

.rimg rember

I'm not sure how this would work, but basically allow the creation/management of polls.

Probably will need to look at another bot's implementation of this for some inspiration.

It bothered me that Dyno's implementation never seemed to work, so I want to try to see if we can implement it on our bot too.

There are several ways to do this, including web scraping, an external api like this, or apparently even contacting Blizzard support and asking for access (just say you've wrestled with Jeff and you'll be gold). Ultimately this won't be so simple to achieve.

We are going to need to define modules for the bot, for scripts with a related purpose. I've made a Utilities folder already for the bot, but we'll need to decide on other folders and how we want to group our modules.

For example, we could group by general purpose (News/Updates, Tools, Money, etc.)

On the one had, it's still too early in the bot development process to know exactly what we're going to want. On the other, it'll save us rework if we can at least explicitly define some now so we don't have to move things around later and hope everything works.

Returns a sneedification of some two words. This could be all predetermined and stored in a data file somewhere, or pulling from a dictionary and sneedifying two words as best it can.
