[Todo] Loyalty system because Revlo is shutting down about beastiebot HOT 6 OPEN

@shipofgenius I think the plan is/was to have two different chat currencies. One to represent loyalty (awesomeness -- earned by being in the chat and watching the stream), and another as more of a novelty (treats -- to encourage and game-ify the chat's interactions with Beastie). But given today's circumstances, I suppose that plan may change... We'll just have to wait and see what Talima wants to do going forward.

While this is definitely saddening news, it seems like most of the core functionality offered by Revlo (tracking currency, dispensing it, cashing it in for rewards) can be easily replicated in BeastieBot itself.

@teamTALIMA, is this something you would want to do on stream or is this an issue you want the community to handle?

@benwurth , This is on the TODO with Beastie Treats #25 and Common Bot Features #24. The revlo integration was just so viewers could spend that currency. The focus now will probably be on using the currency in tTTGame (for the future )

Easy enough to replicate all those features. The loyalty and currency system can be built independent of 3rd party apis.

@shipofgenius Technically speaking, the loyalty system Revlo provides was supposed to be completely independent from Beastie treats AFAIK. This was discussed about 8 months ago^↗️ when BeastieBot ideas were being tossed around — Talima said that she was pleased with all of the features Revlo provided but was still interested in complementing the existing awesomeness points with another chat currency named Beastie treats.

That said, I suppose I should close #11 (Revlo integration) since it seems pointless to do now. 😞

@teamTALIMA is this something you would want to do on stream or is this an issue you want the community to handle? — @benwurth

If the latter happens, I myself would definitely be interested in tackling it ASAP. 👌

RIP Revlo

Ok.
So the plan isn't to actually have 2 different currencies is it? Does "awesomeness" = XP (experience towards a loyalty level) and "beastie treat" = currency (to be spent in stream or elsewhere) ?
