Autonomous bot

[Keltron3030]

The bot is useful and fun but it must be invoked by the users. It might be a cool idea to give the bot a mind of its own.

Some concepts:

1. The bot as a conversation starter. Perhaps the bot could look for a pause in #casual conversation that lasts more than 3 hours. When the threshold is reached the bot could randomly drop a memefact or funfact. Some rng could be used to make the interval more unexpected.

2. The playful bot. There could be a similar script in botspam where the bot could recommend a random game. "I'm bored, anybody wanna play a game of "!Akinator" with me?"

3. The bot as an interrupter. Whenever "several people are typing" the bot could have a 1 in 10 chance of butting in on the conversation with an ill advised meme.

😄 fun stuff indeed.

I have some other priorities in my ToDo list, but every once in a while I find my mind in a JavaScript mood and come to RABot's code to let it flow. I'll remember this request when it happens again. 😉
