chatterbot now logs access times and errors whenever it accesses the Monastery anyway, see pm server stats. Useful to see if the monastery is having more technical issues than usual. (There might be a bug pertaining to actually logging the errors encountered, still working on it).

Thanks to chatterbot, chat has now all the tools needed to resolve any intellectual conflict 😉:

CommandWhat does it do
!coin Flips a coin ("heads" or "tails")
!d6 Rolls a standard six sided die for those complicated multiple choice questions.
!d20 Rolls a 20 sided D&D die. Attack, defense, extra-complicated multiple choice forms, you name it.
!8ball Simulated Magic 8 Ball. Can answer any yes/no question.

Answers to this commands include a fake ID, so chatterbot can post the same answer multiple times consecutively. For example, when multiple coin tosses are requested in short order in a "best out of three" solution. Just ignore the ID.
