Jets of Time League Bot

Starting with season 2, the league has used our own custom bot to distribute seeds, track times and videos, and calculate scoring. Our bot's named after Rodolfo "El Gato" González, the namesake for Lucca's robot at the fair (in both Japanese and English!).

Bot Commands

For league & ToH participants, there are a handful of commands for interacting with the bot. All of these are done in a private message with the bot, Gato Gonzalez#0311:

!seed: this command is used to get a seed for a given race. You can specify season, division, and/or race identifiers, and the bot will either give you a seed or ask you for clarification. It's easiest if you issue this command just before running, rather than getting your seed far ahead of time. Some examples:
- !seed toh would likely be interpreted as !seed division=toh, so if there's only one ToH seed open, it would give that; if there were more, it would ask which you meant.
- !seed w4 would probably be equivalent to !seed race=w4. Assuming that week 4 is open, this would give you the seed for that week.
- !seed season=mp2 division=wr race=w2 fully specifies that you want the Wonder-Reptites week 2 seed for Millennial Prix II. If that race was open and your own division, it'd give you that seed!
!finish: this command is used to finish or forfeit a race. You need to either add forfeit or time=HH:MM:SS, and you should add a video with video=https://etc., putting in your proper video link. If you've gotten more than one seed with !seed, you may need to specify which race you're finishing, which is done the same way as it is with !seed. Some examples:
- !finish forfeit would set your currently-open race as forfeited, or ask for clarification if you have more than one open race.
- !finish time=01:59:59 video=https://example.com/video.mp4 would set your currently-open race to a 1:59:59 finish (nice!) and link to your video.
- !finish race=toh4 time=02:50:12 would mark the race toh4 as being finished with a time of 2:50:12.
!amend: this command is used to add or change information submitted already for a race. It's allowed up until 1 hour past the closing time of the race. It's used the same way as !finish in every way, except you may also specify noforfeit to undo a forfeit, and it's more likely you'll need to specify which race you mean.
!status: this command gives you your current status: your division(s) and what races you've done, your times, videos, etc. In the future, this command will hopefully include ways to see the other finishers in your divisional races, and more detailed information about scoring.
